Sometimes I feel like I’m counting off a prison sentence numbering my posts like this. I think about doing a different kind if title, but then I’ve been doing it for 56 days, why stop now? Not every day can be the best day. Today hasn’t been the best, but it certainly hasn’t been the […]
Day 55
So far it’s been a chill, but exhausting day. I got to sleep in (which was wonderful), ate a healthy breakfast and went to sober fit club, which is a local meet up of sober alcoholics that play games like pickup kickball and volleyball in the park every week. I played a few games, got lost […]
Day 54
Yesterday was a delicious blur. Once I got past the parenting part where I was two steps behind anyway. 1. Clean carpets. I shampooed the carpets to remove the stains my offspring left on them. Sadly many of the stains remain, but it’s much cleaner and smells pretty. 2. Live music. Went to a thing […]
Day 53
Positivity! Yay! Parenting has been trying today. J woke up at 5 am, and has been crabby and getting into everything she can get her little toddler hands on. I’m just two steps behind, which resulted in her spilling my full cup of coffee all over my sisters white carpet right before I had to […]
Day 52
I missed yesterday, which is sad because I had a pretty good day. Today, I’ve been sick with body aches and fever again so it’s been kind of a blur of herbal teas and hiding under the blanket on the couch with the kitten snuggling. Not too bad when you’re sick. I got a keyboard […]
Day 51
Today I haven’t felt well, I’ve been feverish, achy and overly tired. It was difficult to work, since I just wanted to lie down, but I made it through. I’m hoping I’m just fighting something off, and tomorrow I’ll be back to my usual bouncy self. 1. Gypsy tea. I’m not huge on tea most […]
Day 50
I’m between activities at the moment and I’m super excited for the next thing so time is dragging for me. In a few hours, I will go to my first ever piano lesson. This is a really big deal for me. I’ve always wanted to take lessons and play since I was small. My parents […]
Day 49
Rule #4 of parenting: keep them busy. In my world it only works when I have them outside. So what to do when it rains? Generally, I hide and cry. But today I did a bang up job of keeping them moderately busy while accomplishing dinner. That includes the dishes, for your information. (Half the […]
Day 48
I had two good days in a row. Well, yesterday started rough, works been ultra busy and stressful. But after work I went out and had a good night. I ate some delicious African food, then walked down by the river. I need to go back to Al Anon. (For anyone who doesn’t know, those […]
Day 47
I’ve had some nice compliments over the last day since I posted. A woman I work with posted a picture of Lady gaga on my Facebook timeline and said I look just like her. I thought that was sweet and I may need to invest in a sparkly leotard and boots now. I got a […]
