Doctor’s appointments and new karate belts
It has been one very very busy day today. It started off with a snowstorm and a very brisk cold morning. I had to drive to Fort Collins for my appointment with my bariatric doctors and dietitian. It went so well, they are just so awesome there. My dietitian feels that I’m on the right track and I’ve lost another 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks. There were some issues with my blood tests, however. I’m extremely low in iron even taking a multivitamin and iron supplements.

Every day is the best day
We are in our second week of school and our first full week for Tristyn. We are all trying to find a routine and I’m trying to fit all my household responsibilities in between everything.

He’ll have school 5 days a week, karate twice a week and baseball is still going for the next two weeks. I think that Zahkya is going to be lost without her brother at home and I’m…

It got so busy so fast
Having two little kids close in age is a handful in itself. They are busy, they are needy, and it’s a constant buzz of distractions and mundane chores on repeat. I had no idea what was coming. Tristyn is of Kindergarten age and in our county, he couldn’t start until this year. I thought I was early in getting him registered for school. I’ve learned so much in the past week. After a 4.5-hour online registration process, he is finally enrolled for his Fall 2021 Kindergarten year. Just…not at the school I wanted him to be in. So now we are on a waitlist. I just might be homeschooling again…
