I seriously debated whether or not to publish my last post. Actually, to be honest, I debated whether or not I should even write it. I knew it would be sad before I even sat down, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to put that “out there” on Christmas Day. In the end, I decided to write because I needed to write… and I’m so glad that I did. Immediately after I posted it I had a flood of messages and comments come in from some pretty wonderful people. It was an instant reminder that while I may have been without my big family at Christmas, I wasn’t alone.…

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful day filled with family and friends… or at the very least that you got a good nap in. I was not at my best today. It was a hard day for me, and I didn’t try as hard as I should have… but let me explain a little. I mentioned earlier that S & H woke up with fevers on Wednesday morning. What I was hoping was just a 24 hour bug just wouldn’t go away, and after 3 days of non-stop fever I knew I had to get them seen. Luckily my doctor’s office has a urgent care walk in…

I took a little break. I didn’t mean for a whole week to go by, but it did and here I am, a whole week later. I haven’t gone that long without writing in months. I can already feel old habits creeping back in so I thought I’d better get back on the horse and get writing again. I was supposed to work today, but an hour after I went to bed last night I heard the kids door open and Miss S crept down the hall to the bathroom. It’s unlike her to get up at night, so I went to check on her. She wasn’t feeling well, and…

I’m having issues getting on my blog again, so I’m just going to write here for tonight. I’ve already missed a few days of writing in the last week and I don’t want to fall too far behind. That being said, life has been so overwhelmingly full that something had to give… and sadly that was my writing time. Life right now just feels so… full. A good kind of full, but also the kind of full that is making my head spin. We have so much going on and so much to do that I feel like I can’t keep it all straight. I usually say that I feel…

I have had a bit of a rough night. Remember how I told you a while back that I occasionally get random bouts of nausea in the evenings? Tonight was a bad one. It came on like a freight train and I spent most of the night bonding on the floor with my bathroom tiles. It’s starting to pass but I’m done in for the night. I have exciting things to tell you about our basement progress, but I think I just need to go to bed. More tomorrow, I promise. ♥️
