Whats been going on in my life

Well its spring, the trees are budding, the flowers blooming, I have to admit that next to summer this is my favorite time of the year. The kids are outside playing ball and riding their bikes. Ali I cannot believe is 3 months old now. She is such a happy baby always smiling and cooing. I love it that her eyes light up and a smile comes across her face whenever me or Rey come into the room or like pick her up from daycare.

Matty is growing as well. This week at school he is the Child of the Week, we have learned since last weekend that fingernail polish doesnt go into the hair, also we also learned that the only way to get the fingernail polish out of the hair is by shaving the head, which Matty didnt want to happen since we tried nail polish remover and paint thinner and they didnt work so now he has hot pink highlights mixed into his dark brown/black hair.

Dustin has regained use of his cell phone and computer after getting a's and b's on his progress report. Also Harley has gone up there to live with him and from what I hear things are going great with him and her. I miss my dog but I am glad she can be with Dustin and my house can slowly get back to normal. I have figured out that I am not really a dog person, I love my cat Callie and hopefully in the next few months can get a persian cat and name her Cleopatra and call her Cleo for short, its going to be so nice to not have to pack up a dog and her cage whenever I decide to head up north for the weekend.

Life for me is going great. I am in love with an awesome man, its like ok God I want this, this and this in a man and oh boy did he answer. Rey is everything I have wanted and more! I love having a man who thinks so much like me, who wants to know me and love me for me and not expect me to change anything. I love when I get a text message in the middle of the day just out of the blue telling me that he loves me and is thinking of me. He also loves Ali and the kids which is a huge plus. Dustin tells everyone that he is glad his mom found someone and is happy. Dustin got the chance to know Rey the week he was down here for spring break and Rey, on his day off took the kids to the zoo! I love the fact that everyday he tells me how beautiful I am and now his life is complete that he has me and the kids. I just thank God everyday for the sunshine he has given me at the end of a very long dark tunnel.

Dustin is getting his projects ready for the fair and playing baseball. His 1st game was last Saturday and he got a double which was awesome but alas he is like his mom and loves to dig for high balls and so struck out his next time at bat. He starts summer band in June and will be playing the tuba. I am not thrilled about the tuba but its what he wanted to play and Jon is right, I have to learn to let him go and guide him but not run his life anymore. He is a good kid, not on drugs, not in trouble (except with his parents once in awhile) so I need to let go of the apron strings, which is so hard because hes my first, my peanut and he will always be my peanut, matty will always be my pumpkin and alison will always be my bugaboo. This weekend being Mothers Day really makes me reflect on how awesome and blessed I am to have my kids and how much I have grown with all the hell I have been through. I thank my friend Melissa and my friend Gena and my friend Janie for sticking through it all with me. I dont know what I would have done without each and everyone of you, I am so blessed to have moved on from my divorce, closed that chapter in my life and opened a new chapter with Rey and the kids.
