Not My Day

Ok. I know. I usually post on Tuesdays, not Mondays but here’s the thing…this does not seem to be my day. I just wanted to give you all a sneak peek into my not so fabulous start to the new year. I was sitting on the couch and diddling on my phone when there wasContinue reading “Not My Day”

Not Ok.

You do know it’s ok? But I’m not ok. That’s ok too. Sometimes the days are too long and we have trouble filling them with things that fill us. If you are not ok (and that’s totally fine – I’ve been there.) please reach out for help. The holidays are a difficult time of yearContinue reading “Not Ok.”

A Mental Health Update for me!  For Me!  A Mental Health Update for You! For You!

Sorry.  I just had this run through my head to the tune of Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” song “A Very Happy Unbirthday!” Strange where my mind will take us! 😜 So…I’ve been struggling a lot with anxiety lately.  To the point where it almost crippled me.  I know in my heart that God is goodContinue reading “A Mental Health Update for me!  For Me!  A Mental Health Update for You!

Perfectionism Is Not Perfect

Salsa-Stuffed Chicken Thighs

I started this post two days ago, and then promptly forgot about it as soon as I was interrupted!  Geesh!!!  I’d blame it on getting older, but I’m really not all that old (do not pay any attention to the children rolling their eyes!) Our world is in an uproar right now.  We are livingContinue reading “Salsa-Stuffed Chicken Thighs”

The Face of the Shelter

As some (or all of you, if you’ve been paying attention!) know, Children #’s 2, 3, 4, and I are currently residing in a homeless shelter.  It isn’t bad.  It’s not ideal, of course, but at least we have our own room and bathroom.  There is a kitchen that we share with several other rooms. Continue reading “The Face of the Shelter”

A Family Mental Health Update

It has been brought to my attention that at least one of you (Shout out to Tamara!!!) want to know what’s up with our family (and our mental health!) So, here you go! Not having a home is very challenging, especially when it comes to mental health. Child #3 is still taking his pills, butContinue reading “A Family Mental Health Update”
