The Life I Chose to live

These are my newest addition to the family. They are red wagtail platies. I was originally just going to get a beta.. but then I couldn't watch them play together. So I chose to go with a more friendly breed of fish. These two have been swimming and playing since I brought them home. Such a peaceful addition to the house.

    Tonight has been great so far. Daddy took Damian and I out for a family date night and a bit of shopping. Other than that we have just been enjoying each other's company and a quiet house. (Finally a night with no dinner guest.) You would be surprised at the extra toll it takes on you just to be feeding extra people. It's been a busy week and honestly the peace and quiet is much appreciated.    Another plus side to everything is Daddy has a three day weekend.. so I'll actually get to sleep in vs having my sleep interrupted at random hours of the night and early morning. That becomes tiresome as well and begins to take a toll on your body. I can't even explain how tired I've been lately. My brain has been foggy, my body lagging, and my thought process has been slower than a turtle. Did I mention I've been tired?    On another note, I've recently added a very soothing decoration to the house. I was gifted a fish tank and all of the bells and whistles to

   Today I focused on myself and just enjoying some down time. Of course there were things that I should have gotten done, but it's been a while since I've just relaxed. So I enjoyed just sitting around, watching tv, and spending time with my little man. It has definitely been a relief from running around like a chicken with my head cut off for the last month. I also had a huge relief taken off my shoulders because the internet was turned on today. So Daddy is able to enjoy his online gaming.     Now tomorrow is a different story. I have a ton of housework to catch up on. But on the plus side... dishes are done and the kitchen is clean, so I will be able to spend my early morning enjoying my coffee and getting in some me time before starting up my day. So wish me luck. Bright blessings lovelies. Time to spend some time with some friends before Daddy and I call it a night.

   Yeah, I know I know. I've been gone for forever. I haven't made a post in ages. But I've been really busy. It's a job and a half getting everything back to how it was before a house fire. But miss Superwoman here has just about done it. I am happily blogging from my new laptop. And Daddy is happily playing on his new Xbox and 42" tv in his game room. So I can happily say that things are reaching a point of normalcy. See?!?!  I came baring good news.    And now that I have my new laptop all set up, you will be hearing from me more often. It was just a pain in the butt to blog from my phone when I had become so used to blogging from my laptop. It was a sad thing to lose my old laptop and Xbox, but I guess in a way it is okay. We ended up upgrading from everything that we had. I now have a chromebook vs the ancient laptop that I did have. Although it was a tough decision to make since I could have upgraded to a touch screen for not much more. Daddy also upgraded o

    Thank god my glasses finally came in. I cant express how much torture it was trying to see things at a distance and all that could be seen was a blur. And I was able to get frames in my favorite colors.. Red and black. I've never been so happy to see in my life lol.

   Since when is it the middle of August? It seems like not too long ago Daddy and I were celebrating my birthday. But that was nearly two months ago. I have no clue where time has went. But now that I'm actually taking a look at everything thats been accomplished, yeah I guess rightfully it should be August.     You all know what that means right? Time for school to start back, for those of you that have school age children. Just over 2 months until Halloween! (My favorite holiday.) And most importantly, this year is 2/3 of the way over. So it's time for everyone to get our butts in gear to reach those goals we set. Personally I'm pretty close to my goals being reached.     With just a few more things needing done to the house, I will have accomplished getting myself and my little family into a home and getting it set up. I am only 15 pounds from my goal weight. And if all goes well Daddy and I will be adding a few more accomplishments to our success story for 2019. But

    I'm sorry I've been so far and in between lately. I've been super busy here lately. And when I say busy... I mean BUSY. Have you ever started your day at 2 am and not laid down for a break until bed at nearly midnight? Well thats been the story of my life lately. I'm not really sure what a day of relaxation is anymore.    I can say that I am very thankful that Daddy has stepped in and attempted to lighten my workload. Yesterday he took Damian and ran several of the errands while I took care of one of the more major task of the day. Thank goodness, because if it were all left to me several things wouldn't have gotten done because time frames overlapped badly.     Daddy tried to get me to have a relaxed evening at home. That worked for maybe all of an hour before I was up and at it again. With all that has to be done, I simply can't sit and relax. It's impossible. Even when I am sitting, I'm normally making a list, planning, or looking for something

     Excuse the tired momma look I'm rocking, but despite that I absolutely love this picture. I've grown very attached to my morning cuddles with my wee man. He's growing up so quickly. It's almost heart breaking to watch him grow and mature, each day becoming more independent than the day before. But it's nice to know he still enjoys morning cuddles with momma just as much as I do.    But anywho, enough of my mushy "my baby is growing up" sob story, on to the changes shall we?    So much has changed that I'm not really sure where to begin. I will say that retrograde royally kicked my ass. It felt like absolutely nothing I did, no matter how much effort I put forth, nothing went right. And by nothing I mean absolutely nothing. It took everything in me to not throw myself in the floor and throw a full on bratty tantrum. But luckily it was mostly all in my head. Time frames just weren't what I would have liked them to be.    But on the plus si
