Bunny House
It was a great weekend. We mostly stayed home getting projects done. We are needing to use the trailer that we were using as the Bunny’s shelter so we decided to make him his own home. The kids had fun with it and the Bunny ran inside as soon as it was done. Hopefully, that was his seal of approval.

Week 4 – New Medication
This week all the senses have deepened. 1. My patience level is at an all-time high. My youngest is terrible at going on drives and she starts screaming and fussing the minute she’s put in the vehicle. We have been doing test runs with her more and more to get her more used to being in a vehicle again. This quarantine has been rough since we are still under lockdown as a family. Anyway, I wasn’t stressed at all when she started fussing. I didn’t anticipate that she would lose it at all, I just had the positive attitude that she’d get through it and we’d get home. Which we…

COVID-19 Vaccine side effects
I knew I would be tired an a little run down. I didn’t think the vaccine would hit me as much as it did. I was mega tired. So tired that I even tried to sleep while the kids were awake (for Mom’s of little’s you know how impossible that is to even try, which tells you the level of tired I was). I had a terrific headache all day long. I took the kids outside for a few hours and I think that made me feel worse. The sun was mega bright and it wasn’t jiving with my headache. I had body aches that generally made me feel uncomfortable.…

I got my COVID-19 Vaccine.
So far so good. Grabbed some Arby’s on the way home so I could have two small vanilla shakes ready for the kids. Good thing, because Zahkya cried the whole time I was gone. Poor thing. I got my first shot. I get my second shot on 4/19 and I should be completely immune 2 weeks after that. Yay. Thanks, science. I’ll let you know if I grow any additional limbs, or if I start hearing radio stations in my head.

Quote of the Day
When you are not fed love on a silver spoon you will learn to lick it off of knives. by Lauren Eden I’m grateful for the place I am today. My past was hard and ugly. My future is mine and its colorful and full of life. Unconditional love matters. It matters.

Snow Fun
The snow finally came. Still not as much as we hoped but it was the best kind of snow. Perfect for snowballs, snowmen and forts!

New Medication – Week 3
I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life. I’ve been on different medications and I’ve tried some herbal/natural remedies for relief. Some options seemed to work for a while but there were always some really negative effects no matter which one I tried. I’ve been on a new one now for 3 weeks and it’s taken me until this third week to really sit back and say, wow. I’m really feeling better. I actually feel better. Changes that I’ve noticed: I’m catching my reactions before they are happening. I don’t think that’s ever happened in my life. I’ve always reacted and felt badly afterwards. By catching my reactions before…

My new crystal shelf!
My sister, Darci, surprised me yesterday by sending me this beautiful shelf for my art studio! There are so many special features about it that I love. It’s not square. I love all shapes, except square ones. Thank you, sis, not only does it match the slope of my ceiling, I can be in my space and always be looking at how beautiful this is and think of you. As above, so below.

Winterstorm Warning?
The last week here has been beautiful weather-wise. Clear sunny days, minimal clouds, upper 60’s. My kids have been in summer clothes for the majority of it. I’ve even shut off the heat several times. It’s been nice and spring is starting to poke it’s head out. So this morning I’m getting text messages from family and friends in the area to start stocking up, snow storm coming. Then I got an AccuWeather notification on my phone about it. The headline read “Worst Colorado snow storm since 1885” talking about how my area is going to get up to 3 feet of snow. I know that 3 feet of snow…

I love productive days
I feel like the days I have to deal with people and business are more work than anything. I despise the telephone and being on the telephone. It’s almost like a magnet for my children when they see me on the phone, an open invitation to make as much noise as possible and be as needy as a newborn. I got thru it and still got a lot done. I let my driver’s license expire and didn’t realize it. I thought for sure I’d have to go in and retake the driving test but I was able to renew it online and pay a small fee. I had to get…
