Ok, Ok cut me a break!! It has been a little CRAZY here at the Curran Household this last 2 weeks.
I'm happy, sad, lonely, grateful, discouraged, encouraged, emotionally weary- yes that's it! and NO it is NOT hormonal!!!!
If 5 years ago someone had told me that I would be living in Newton Kansas with Brian's Mom living down the hall and Brett off at college playing Basketball, and Brian BUSY pastoring a church I would have thought they were crazy-and yet here we are!
I had my life planned out so differently. I imagined Brian pastoring in the Seattle area, me working in my comfy cozy job w/Dr Rossi and Brianne and Scott over for family dinners and special occasions with Brett finishing school nearby-well I did get that one right. I really miss all THAT and yet I know this is the right place for us for right NOW. I just miss the old.
3 years ago this November Brianne and Scott got married, what a wonderful day that was. My memories are so brilliant of the Happiness and Love of that day. 6 weeks later Brian loaded up the 'wonderful' Contour and headed for Kansas!! 12 weeks later Brett and I joined him. Gone were the chances of Sunday dinners at Torreos after Church. I am sure that Brianne and Scott are stronger for it, but I sorry to have missed out on so much of their lives. It drives her crazy that I cry almost every time I hear her sweet voice-Sorry it's a Mom thing.
Brian's Mom is staying with us while her house is being built(hurry workers, hurry). She will be right across the street so we can keep an eye out on her. Sheet rock is going up-that's a good sign. But the sad news is she had a BAD fall last week and really hurt herself. She has a black eye, is bumped and bruised and broke her elbow! She will have surgery on the 5th.
We helped Brett move into his dorm at Tabor on Sunday!! He is doing great-tired but great!. Classes have started and they are scrimmaging nightly. He came by tonight for 15 minutes to grab FOOD and a garbage can!! Miss him SO much, but I am so glad he has the wonderful opportunity to get a great education and play Ball!!
So Life goes on and we adjust and change and accept. God is in control, not me and I have to remember that EVERY day-I am thick headed and forget it or fight it so often!

I think they call it ENS (Empty Nester Syndrome). There is a cure for it. It involves grandchildren. You're only problem is that not too many are around you.
