It's a Start

It's been a crummy, rainy day...the kind of day where things need to get done and I can't find the motivation to do anything.  I get the laundry going, but just sit on the couch, watch old episodes of ER and knit.  But I did get to the gym, so that's something right?

Sometimes we need a day like that...sometimes :)

Another licensed driver

Image
This just happened today. I don't know how, she was just born, or so it seems. My 2nd baby is 17 today, and she passed her driving test. The day she was born was the scariest of my life. We were both so close to death.  She was born at 34 weeks, weighing in at 4lbs 6oz. She wasn't breathing, blue and purple when she was whisked away. Turns out there was a severe infection in the placenta. I'd the drs didn't deliver, neither one of us would be here.   The point is she was born a fighter. But today, she had it in her mind that she wasn't good enough to pass her drivers test, that no matter what she was going to do, she would fail. She was so anxious, with these negative thoughts flooding her brain. We've all been there, that's for sure. I had to attend a CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) group to help me change that, because we know our attitude is 90% of the battle. Why worry about things we have no control over?  How much of our lives do we waste doing that...

4 Years Have Passed

I can't believe that 4 years have passed since I've blogged.  I'm a terrible blogger, that's for sure.  I'm more of a paper and pencil type of journal girl, but I have a new computer so I figured I'd give it another go. So here we are, May 13th, 2020.  We are in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, being attacked by the Coronavirus, known also as Covid-19.  We are prisoners in our homes.  When going to a store we need to wear masks.  I need to wear a mask at work and now I am not allowed to pull it down when in the store at all.  We practice social distancing of 6 feet apart.  We are not around people we don't live with.  Beaches are closed, non-essential businesses are closed.  Restaurants that are open can only do pickup or delivery.  It's just a strange new world.  I don't see it ending any time soon because a lot of people are not following the rules and guidelines. The kids are good.  Matt is going to be 21 and is s...

Another Day Another Dollar

Image
Another  day, another dollar.  I love my job.  I mean, I really LOVE my job.  Never in a million years did I think I'd go back  to work.  I love being at home...it's what I was called to do.  But an opportunity literally fell on my front porch. I live next door to a Dollar Tree.  I know, a very dangerous store HAHA.  I was there all the time, got to know those who worked there and formed relationships with the girls.  It really was a pleasure every time I went. One day Nikki came over asking if Bob was interested in a once a week, 4 hour shift.  It entailed unloading the delivery truck and putting out what was put on the floor (paper products and drinks).  He said no...being retired from the union, he just can't go out to work.  So my face lit up and, with his blessing, took the job. I did truck for a few months, and I loved having a few extra bucks in my pocket every 2 weeks.  Then I wa...
