Life is good!!!

-

     Life has been really good lately. The kids are finding a rhythm in the new house schedule and my household is back to it's thriving self... despite the many changes that have been made. We have been preparing for Summer. We started a garden, put up a trampoline, got all of the kids new bikes, and even bought a water slide and sprinkler. This is going to be a good summer for the kids. 

   As for Brandi and I??? Well we are happy to say that little Miss Jordyn is now on a pretty regular sleep schedule. (Pretty damn good for only being a month old.) She now only wakes up once a night for feeding and then she's right back to sleep until around 8 AM. This means better sleep for Brandi and I... which I greatly appreciate. Especially because I go back to work part time next week and Brandi will be returning to work in just a couple of weeks.

    Other than that, well life has still been pretty great. Brandi bought a damn good truck about a week ago. So far we love it. We took it to be checked out by our mechanic and he agrees... it was a steal. Now if only we could get this damn lincoln navigator sold it would really great. 

    As far as I go, well life has been an adjustment. I'm finally doing something about my body. The chiropractor is doing a lot to help, but I need to take steps to help too. So I have been eating healthier and getting more exercise. So far I am 7 pounds down. I'm now on meds for my nightmares, so I am getting better sleep. And I am in therapy every two weeks so that is helping me with my ptsd, depression, and dealing with the constant changes in my life. So I guess it's safe to say that I'm doing much better.  Well enough that I feel confident going back to work. 

   So wish us luck in the coming months. Things are definitely changing for the better.

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.
