Hyear it comes... 2020!

2020 foresight! Oh what do I see? Girl child graduating high school and starting college. Oldest son going back to school. He's already started the process! Yeah, I'm super stoked that he's pursuing plans on making a decent life for himself. I see 4th son continuing doing amazing in classes and transferring to a 4yr university. 2nd and 3rd sons still in MD but hopefully I can visit them and their wives this spring...If I can't, I truly hope they make time to see their sister when she's on the east coast with the high school band.
Me.. I'll probably still be working two jobs. I might even start donating plasma again... I am thankful that I am healthy enough and capable enough to do so. I'm also super lucky that I love my jobs, especially the one where I work with students. The retail job is not my dream job but haha.. the coworkers are fun, and the work is so easy-peasy. It's a job I get to leave at the job site. Oh and we had our holiday party last night. I won a knife! My first knife evahhhhh! .. All of my kids have pocket knives. This one puts theirs to shame..lol.. A coworker tried to talk me into trading her (she won a $25 gift card) because her hubby would like the knife...but I wouldn't trade. I figured if she wanted to get him a knife, she could use her gift card....(but I bet she buys the really cute boots in the store that we both were looking at.. With employee discount, she wouldn't even be using her whole gift card!).
In 2020, I might even venture a class or two and get closer to finishing a degree. I have some business ideas that I want to make a reality...More on that later....
I plan on horseback riding more. I did ride a bit in 2019..but the real horse expert is my girl child. She can ride! She is even taking jumping lessons.. That looks like a blast.. And crazy that we now own another horse, but this one is a BIG one..haha.. Yeah, we're still apartment living...but I'm tenacious. I see a home on land in my future. It will happen
Currently, life is good. My kids are doing well, and are healthy. I'm feeling blessed. I know my kids will further blossom and all of them will be living independent lives, being self sufficient, and pursuing their own quests of happiness. I definitely will miss their dependence on me..but am relieved and proud that they're capable and willing to cowboy up into adulthood.
It fills me with wonder, amazement, shock, and heart melts seeing the people they have turned out to be. I am thankful I am their mamma.
