Tired

-

     I guess in all the excitement of buying the house and the holidays, somewhere along the way I forgot to take care of myself. And boy am I ever feeling it. I feel like I could sleep for 2 days and just forget that the world exist. However, that isn't truly an option. Although I may actually get to rest a little towards the end of this week. (Fingers crossed)

    I think the worst part of everything right now is the mental stress. Just figuring out how to get things back to normal after the whole home buying process... it's just draining. Getting finances back in line, figuring out the new normal, adjusting the budgets, and you guessed it....Christmas. Luckily the biggest part of my Christmas shopping is over. I can't wait to see the look on Damian's face when he unwraps his presents this year. I know little Ms. Jordyn is going to have a field day as well. 

    As excited as I am to see their faces on Christmas day, I am more excited to see the holiday season come to an end. I need things to find their new normal and quickly. If I'm not allowed to rest and find normalcy soon I may just collapse. This mama really needs a break.

    We bought our house in December, eight years ago, so I hear you on being overwhelmed with moving, changes, and Christmas all at once. Congrats on the house! I hope you have a lot of happy times there.

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.
