Handling Your Midlife Crisis With Grace (and Without a Porsche!)

As parents, we soon start to feel our age, or even older! As the pains of middle age start to become more apparent, especially in our lower back, or we're not able to recover as quickly from exercise, we can soon start to get downhearted and feel that we are heading into the mid part of our lives without any form of gusto or enthusiasm. But feeling a midlife crisis is not just about being physically weaker, but it's about that depressive state where you are concerned you are put out to pasture, or you do not feel as useful as you once did. But also, the concept of the midlife crisis is unique to the individual. You can have a happy life in many ways but still, start to…

Thank you Lauren Holly helping name our new dog

So we got a new dog recently. I hadn't planned on that but I was trying to help someone out and honestly, we've wanted a second dog since Maggie died three years ago. It was one of those things that just kinda happened in the moment and wasn't really thought out. The kids are thrilled and Ruby seems to be happy as well, so it all worked out. He's a 4 month old Corgipoo and his name was Toby. We're weird about names in our house and if we are going to do this, we're going to do it our way. He needs crate trained and broken of some bad habits but we're making decent progress. One of the things we decided to do was change his name. He wasn't…

I got a break for the first time since September

It's been a couple days and I wanted to share something before I crash for the night. This will be brief because I'm exhausted and I'll try to follow up later. The other day, I called Lizze to find out if they'd been locked down for at least 14 days. They had been and so I suggested making arrangements for the boys to go over for a few days. It's been since September and that's really hard on her and the kids. We had decided to shut visits down until COVID was under control. That's the only reason she hasn't seen them. Since the insurrection at the Capitol Building and the current threats for this coming week, as well as how much worse COVID is getting, I thought we should…
