Almost there

Are You Ready for Back to School 2020-21? – Back to School ...

Yay! We are almost there. Just a few more days and then it is time for school and hopefully time to get my sanity back. This year was all over the place due to Spring Break turning into an extended holiday which led to an extremely long Summer Vacation. I was nowhere near prepared and the kids drove me insane for the entire summer. But thankfully, schools are opening for in person teaching... So now my house, my brain, and my sanity can get a little bit of a break.
    A lot has led us to this day.. Needless to say I have had to deal with way more than my sanity thought it could handle. I had to put D in therapy, family counseling, and a behavioral health school. That alone has been pure craziness. And as it would turn out, she has oppositional  defiance disorder on top of her depression and anxiety. (These next 6 years are gonna be just fucking fantastic... not!) So there are a half a dozen appointments every month for the next 3 months. Then add BB and his autism, adhd, and possibly bipolar disorder... all of his appointments... And lets not forget all the adjusting both of their meds and med changes... Yup I'm ready for school.
   But on the plus side there was good news in all that craziness. D qualifies for AP classes and Damian actually scored high enough that he is in Pre-k instead of headstart. (Way to go baby boy!) I am also just about done with all shopping related to school. All I have left is getting D her school supplies once she gets her list on her first day of school. Everything else is all set and ready to go. Including my organization units for the kids backpacks and next days school clothes. Now all that is left is to get D her school supplies once she gets her list on the first day of school. (Just 4 more days.) 
    Don't get me wrong, I love my kids. But this momma is exhausted. I need the relief that school offers. Being trapped in the house with them for the last 5 months has been both physically and mentally exhausting. I really really really need the break. Plus I miss being able to clean my house and it stay clean for a while. 


   And on to other great news... (there is a lot of it) Brandi and I will finally get to know the gender of the baby on September 1st. We agreed on getting the testing vs relying on an ultrasound. We are soon to see a financial break too since JV is actually in a place that he can help. And best of all I now have everyone ( including myself) covered by insurance. So as you can see a lot of weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. And best of all I will soon get to start in on the baby shopping. (I can't wait.)

   Anyway, enough of my blabbering. It's time to get this day started. Bright blessings lovelies. I hope you are all healthy and well.

This week in review

-
   I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane.     On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in trouble for g

In my feelings

                                       Okay, so I'll admit that lately the lack of a relationship with my parents has been weighing heavily on me. I look at my kiddos and see all the joy and happiness they bring me and wonder how can any parent not want that with their own flesh and blood... or with any child they lay claim to? My kids are the very reason I live and breath. While yes, there are plenty of times they cause what seems like and incurable migraine, they bring me so many happy moments as well.     I never got the feeling that I made either of my parents happy at any point. My father raised 3 children that were not his and didn't even meet me until I was 12. Then he didn't return until I was 17. Sad to say our moral values didn't align and that relationship was short lived. My mother raised me, mostly, but we never had a connection either. In fact most of my life I felt that I was a mistake and unwanted. That didn't change in my adult life either.        I

Just popping in

    Since quite a few of my followers only knew me by my blog, I've decided to do random pop ins. I wanted to let you all know that I am doing amazing. I've really been enjoying life. Daily visits to the park, and using my extra time to take care of myself. Today was a manicure, shopping, and girl time with my SIL. I'm currently on a trip out of town with the hubby to do some more shopping for myself and little man and a dinner date with my love.
