I haven’t done this in forever but that needs to change

Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in a long time. I went for a hike without my kids. I’m not sure why I don’t do this more often. I do like time to myself, and I love being out in nature. Seems like I would be doing this every chance I get. Who knows. …

He had a major meltdown this afternoon and I’m completely drained

It’s been a frustrating week. I’ve been dealing with anxious kids, Gavin challenges, and now equipment issues with my podcast. I’ve been working on it today and couldn’t get things working until almost midnight. Unfortunately, Friday’s episode is going to be late as a result. I’m hoping to get it finished by shed up and …

I haven’t eaten much today and I’ve been trying to stay hydrated as best I can. I ended up mowing the lawn this evening and I definitely …

I’m starting to feel kinda miserable. It’s been about 14 hours since my second booster and I’m definitely feeling it. I don’t mind the sore arm, and headache, but the exhaustion is the worst. I was already exhausted and now I’m even more so. I crashed for a couple hours before dinner because I just …

The next few days are gonna suck but it’s worth it

I have a few minutes before I head out to get my second COVID booster. Elliott got off to work without a problem and I’m hoping that this round of side effects doesn’t hit me too hard. Gavin is going to be scheduled for his as well but not today. Covid is getting bad again …

We had a really bad night

It’s 3am and I’m still awake because the boys are struggling after a brief visit with their mom. Elliott managed to fall asleep, but Emmett had a nightmare, and refuses to go back to bed for fear it’s going to happen again. Then of course, there’s Gavin. Poor Gavin had a particularly bad night. He …
