November…cold…cloudy…cold… I like how November brings things I love. Like Thanksgiving. (Food) Christmas cookie baking after thanksgiving. (More food) Inevitable weight gain from all the food. (An extra layer of warmth from the food? A girl has to stay warm) Today I did some online grocery shopping, and started buying some of the essentials I […]

Day 99
Everything seems more brilliant lately. The music more powerful, the food tastes better. I’ve been so happy the last couple months but it’s magnified in the last couple days. Life is truly beautiful right now. The whole purpose of this blog was to continue seeking positivity even when I felt like there was none to […]
Day 98
This has been honestly the best weekend with my children that I can remember. Only two small incidents, one on each day. I’m still holding my breath but the day is almost over. 1. The apartment never got too out of control today. Any parent knows the mess level gets out of hand easily. I […]
Day 97
Tonight has been epic. Let me just describe how this has gone. Started out by leaving work early to pick up A for a doctor appointment. I left 20 minutes before school lets out, and it’s a ten minute drive. I get there, and I’m late. Early by my thoughts but apparently school let out […]
Day 95
I’m sick…went from just exhausted to exhausted+sore throat+lungs hurt. Plus kids = tired tired Lynn. However, a very kind and thoughtful person brought me two kinds of bone broth, two soups, and herbal tea, so hopefully I’ll kick this quickly! 1. Sleeping in after calling in sick to work. Cuddles and snuggles make feeling bad, […]
Day 94
Sleeping in is the best. I tend not to sleep in all that late when I have the opportunity to do it, but it’s soooo nice when I get the option to do it. Just snuggle in the bed, half asleep, and not be expected to get up or go anywhere. With my custody schedule, […]
Day 92
Something feels off. I’m not sure what it is, either. I haven’t tenth stepped in months, which isn’t good. I still have yet to go over some 8 and 9th steps with my sponsor. But I don’t think that’s it. I’m in a weird place, and feel very tense and on edge when I have […]
Day 91
There are many aspects of parenting I enjoy. Braiding my daughter’s wet hair while she snuggles on my lap. That moment when the toddler says the “please” I’ve been working on her with for weeks. Those are the ones I live for. There are also the moments when I’m tearing the place apart looking for […]
Day 90 My cat has fleas and I might have pinkeye edition
But let’s not let the little things get us down! I’m kinda SOL on the pinkeye since I’m allergic to the pinkeye medications out there but I went and got a flea treatment and defogger for the apartment and hopefully that does ‘er for that. So far, I haven’t actually seen any fleas, just evidence […]
Day 89
My oven broke today. I literally cried. A was playing with the latch, it’s stuck and the door won’t close. So no baking until maintenance comes to fix it. I keep telling myself it’s no big deal, and going 2-3 days without the oven is fine but I’m in withdrawal. And I wasn’t even home […]
