Too much Monday, not enough coffee


Too much Monday, not enough coffee- still on my first cup over here. I have never ever been a morning person, and I wish I was. I can't help to think about how much I can accomplish all in a mornings time, instead I drag my feet. I'm lucky if I'm showered and dressed before noon during the week. It's a curse, but working second shift does not help this cause. I have so many plans and not enough motivation or time. Still trying to get boxes unpacked from moving in July. I'm hoping to hunker down this winter and get it all done so I can enjoy the spring and summer with my family instead of wondering when I will get everything done.

Why does the weekend seem to just fly by recently? Maybe to much to do and never enough time?  And we had the time change over here on the East Coast and got an extra hour- you would never tell.

Here it is Monday again, hello old friend. I got my first glimpse of frost this morning glimmering in the morning sunshine. And of course the time change has everyone thrown off so I was up an hour earlier then I had to be, so I got to soak in some kid sleeping time. Cam always ends up in our bed, never fails. So I got to give him kisses on his plump little cheeks and watch his lips turn upward into smiles, I held his small hand in mine and felt his smooth, delicate skin underneath my weathered fingers and watched him stretch the sleep away before he was up for the day acting like the wild one he is. My youngest. My baby. Could possibly be my last born, so I will soak in all these mornings like this I can while they last.


Ben has been gone to work for a few hours now working hard and I'm sure he's scrambling around because well-it's Monday and I'm sure there is a lot to get done for the week, the kids are off to school filling their open minds with all new facts and solving problems and I will be throwing on my scrubs and be headed to work before I know it. It was a good weekend. We finally gave in and bought the fire pit we wanted and we could not be any happier!!! I put it together all by myself, so I am pretty proud of it. I failed at getting a fire going, but I did get it started and Ben kept it going for me. We got to sit around the fire Saturday night and enjoy the flames dancing and the heat and watch it burn down to mere ember, oh this is what we have longed for all summer long! Ben got to paint his truck he's been fixing up to eventually use as a on site work truck-I'm pretty proud of him for that also.We went out to breakfast Sunday morning around the corner from our house with some of our tribe and enjoyed a few Bloody Marys- it's been awhile, then we did a little thrifting. We went on a nice hike with even more of our tribe to the very top of a hill and man the views are gorgeous. You can see miles over the tree tops. These pictures don't do it justice even if I was trying to capture the view.  Other than that we didn't do to much else this weekend.

The Strength In Our Scars

Mental Health. Depression.  Anxiety.  I know I missed "Mental Health Day", but this is something that needs to be talked about more than just one day in October. This is something that needs awareness and education everyday. More than "40 seconds of action". Come on! I wanted to share this even more when recently I found out a beautiful young girl I know is suicidal. She reached out. She got help and her courage inspires me. What I would do to hold her tight and take her pain away. So let’s talk about it for a second. This has been sitting on my chest and weighing me down for far to long. Something no one likes to talk about. We ALL have mental health. We all have highs and we all have lows, some lower than others. It's something that needs to be normalized. The way a cold is simply just that, normal, everyone gets a cold. This is a far too sensitive subject. You have a cold? You take medicine. You have cancer? You get treatment. You break ...

Hello!

It’s been such a long time since I blogged. Since I wrote about what’s on my heart. So much has changed, yet so much has simply stayed the same.  I started writing this post last August 2024 - over a year ago now! But I obviously didn't get very far. Always drinking in the last drop of golden summer sun and air, enjoying all my kids home, distracted by life. A beautiful beautiful life! So here I am now, trying to get one post in before the year turns over to a new one again! We are 3 days away from Christmas, so we’ve been busy with the hustle and bustle. 2025 has been a good year.  Last August (2024) when I started this post-, I was probably dreaming of a baby to hold in my arms, as I have for many years before- well after many negative pregnant tests -February 2026 that dream will come true!! We are adding to the clan! So here I am in the third trimester. I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy because it will definitely, most likely be my very last. It’s been a tough pregna...

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running throug...
