The Wiz

Went to see Britt last night in a family preview of Trollwood's The Wiz. It was an amazing show with great detail and the dancing was amazing! The new location is beautiful and is well worth the visit. Britt was great as a munchkin, flying monkey, cubbette and other dance/singing parts. The costumes were gorgeous and it was great to see The Wiz updated to a more modern feel. Tonight is opening night and there are plenty of show dates to choose from, if you haven't thought about it yet, I would definitely recommend you get tickets to see The Wiz!!

Still Coping...

So it's been awhile, I am still dealing with the pain from my last post. Some days are really, really good and other days are really, really crappy. Thankfully there are more good days than bad. The kids are enjoying a fun summer, swimming in the backyard and hanging out with friends. Brittany is busy with another intense summer of rehearsals for Trollwood, this year they are doing The Wiz, opening night is this Thursday! We are all very excited for that. Danielle has a new boyfriend who we all really like, he is a very nice boy. Anthony went fishing with his Grandpa Bill yesterday and also went to camp for the first time ever so he is enjoying summer very much. Caitlyn hasn't had many adventures but she seems to make her own and is excited to be going to the fair soon and starting kindergarten this fall... where in the world does the time go?!

I have been thankful for the support I have received from family and friends, and I appreciate the understanding when I just need some time to myself. I have so many days when I feel lost, I am trying not to let my anger at John change my memories of him and what we shared together but at the same time there are times when I feel like my entire marriage was a lie. I am thankful for JR who has really been my sounding board through all of this, I honestly don't know what I would have done without his friendship. I am still struggling to maintain a relationship with my other step-children, that seems to be hit and miss for the most part, more on the miss side right now but I am learning to not take it to heart as much.

So, obviously there is probably quite a bit more to share but again, feeling overwhelmed by all that has happened. Just wanted to check in and say that the kids are all great and I am maybe not great, but I am hanging in there.
