I know it has been a really long time since my last post but many things have been going on in my life. I have a 17 year old son that keeps us very busy and I have had some health issues. We are slowing down on the running around with our son as he is 17 and no longer really needs us (that is what he thinks) and my health issues are improving. Nothing serious, just B-12 deficient but it really kicked my butt. I had been experiencing symptoms for a long time but could not find out what was going on. By the time I was diagnosed, my B-12 level was to the point that I was having chest pains and numbness in my hands. I have been told that it takes a long time for the brain to recover from this deficiency and will need shots for a year to recoup but I am feeling much better.
Back to my son. He is 17 years old and has a lot of important decisions ahead of him. (WKU or UK being the biggest one at hand.) However, I think he is putting them off as long as he can. He is excited about starting a new chapter in his life but having qualms about being on his own (of course he would never admit to that). He likes the idea of college life.....all the parties, college athletics events, girls, and being on his own........but I think he is at least a little anxious about fending for himself and knowing that he is making decisions that will affect the rest of his life. At first he was set to go to WKU but now he is leaning toward UK. I liked WKU alot. It is a smaller campus and seems to offer more of a personal touch but I hate the fact that it is over 3 hours away. However, UK is closer to home but it is much larger and I worry that he will get lost between the cracks. Nevertheless, he is a smart boy and I am sure he will figure it out.
I suppose this is enough for today. I am not sure there is anyone out there that is really interested in what I have to say but I do enjoy documenting my thoughts. It is nice to occasionally take time to look back at old posts to see what has been going on in my life. I actually started this blog at my sister-in-law, Shawna's encouragement and to improve my writing skills as I was applying for a new job as a decision writer. Now I have that job and spend 5 days a week writing for a living. I like my knew job but after writing all day, I am not always excited about coming home to write to my blog now. I am hoping to get past that and to start writing regularly again. So, for all of you out there, if you are interested in hearing about my latest happenings, thoughts, and sometimes tangents, stay tuned for more.
