This
weekend was happy . Last weekend now as so behind in my posts!!!
I
haven't felt this good in many months . And I am not sure why I felt this way
even ... It just sorta felt like a veil of sadness came off and that was
replaced by some of the joy and peace I was beginning to feel in January 2015
after a hell off a year in 2014 and before my whole career changed in march
2015 .
I
felt free this weekend . I pray it lasts . I need that feeling
Maybe
it had something to do with Beauty . She was at the cottage with us alone as
the boys stayed back and we focused in her all weekend . Really increased that
unconditional love and attention no matter her reaction .
Supported
her through her 12-15 hrs of studying for finals over the two days with hugs
and tube rides and treats during the breaks , and had 5 big teenage discussions
with her over the weekend that made her blush, but was clear to us she was listening .
We
did a night and day where she got to choose all the food and go shopping for it
( when you study that much you need breaks !) lucky for me she chose butter
chicken , nann , homemade raita and my fave cookies . And won ton soup ! That
night at dinner she talked and talked and shared and reminisced about moments
past and her feelings . It was a rare and real treat !
And
after some difficult discussion with her in the day too .. that we made very
democratic but still difficult in terms of many issues that have been on our
mind lately about our teenage daughter
It
was a hard but very bonding weekend . I was sorry to see it end . Also the sun
was out and hubby and I sat on the dock and really felt the start of summer .
We took boat rides and watched " Lost " ( our marathon summer series
) on the Bali bed hiding from the bugs . The three of us did our
traditional swim out to the swim dock in the cold June lake for symbolizing the
start of summer and the wish for good weather .
It
was cold but super fun .
Sunday
night we came back early from the cottage to take Chase and his two best
buddies out for a nice graduation dinner . Went to rooftop of Nelligan hotel overlooking city of Montreal . Was a real treat to spend the
evening in the great company of these awesome guys .
We
missed Bear though ! Has been a few weekends now that he is at sport events and triathlon after marathon after everything . He is never home anymore !
And in between he studies .. Man does this kid study efficiently and well ! This week begins
the final exams . Can't wait until the night of
June 22 to actually see our Bear ! ( by which time I am sure he will be with
all his
buddies)
Anyways
was a good weekend . Was a little glimpse into what summer will look like this
summer . Three weeks at the cottage . One part of a week Alone with hubby
... One week all
The
five of us .. And one week beauty and her BFF .
I am
so so so ready for vacation and doing a whole lot of nothing . Looking forward
dor no thoughts in my mid and reading a book a day .. Sleeping all the time ..
Eating yummy stuff and watching tons of movies and tv .
Seriously
can't wait ... It's time
Has
been such a whirlwind 2 years for us and it's time to have a vacation where
there is no crisis going on .
I
can feel it
Happy
times ahead !
(
and a very close friend met a guy and is very very happy and talking lots of long
term plans . Her happiness also makes me happy and makes me realize how important happiness in our own lives is to always seek and retain and cherish )
