One very focused day
For some reason today, I was ON IT. I love days like this. I got a ton done around the house, including things that would’ve been weekend projects if I hadn’t done them today. The morning started with the bath fitter guy coming to replace the bent shower rod. Funny story…Boy #3 likes to play…

Some days you just need a…

Hard conversations
Tomorrow I am going to have that super serious conversation with the ex. I have already drafted my list of concerns and points I need to make. I actually feel really good about this conversation. Although I plan to use some of the same language from the healthy relationships program my dad and I did…

Weekend Roundup
It’s Sunday already. I’m trying to make the most of that dang day that takes away an hour and makes you feel like you are nuts. The cats are getting to eat right when they think they should eat and technically I slept in, since there was that extra hour added on. Friday night was…
