Today for ME, I spent my gift card from last night on clothes for YWM2017, window shopped at the local outlet mall (3+ hours on my feet, no wonder I crashed earlier & am know “drowsy”)

i had fun looking at stuff for the teen & MYSELF.  I even tried on sleeveless dresses; didn’t buy one but sent selfies to hubby

also, played a couple board games…[Read more]

I’m driving hubby crazy with our “matching”. So easy figuring mine out but his?

Yesterday was an Interesting day!  Daycamp closed early due to flooded entrances, paths & bridges. Wee one started her Taco Bell job & I went to a bra focus group.

Not much in exercise as my abdomen has been a mess since Tues pt (who knew abdomens needed open to help with deaftist posture?) & the weather has been me majorly hiding in my tub.…[Read more]

What is tabata?

I’ve always had a few irrational fears, some I’m even talking about in therapy; what if I failed in setting my kid up to succeed with supports? I have a negative Nelly train that will happily pull out my past as an example; today, my largest fears are health related & im so tired.

My goofy fear is down escalators; I don’t know where I got the…[Read more]

Naps are part of my everyday care care routine & im really trying the tub/early bed thing. I succeeded this night, mainly due to day camp week & exhausted.

I get my liquids in but not always food. Trying to learn a mechanical eating schedule & rebelling big time.

Okay so no derby practice but a momma/daughter evening……

I’m learning tonight with her that I’m a good mom.  I know I have challenges with all 4 of the s in the house but being present & realizing a neurotypical teen girl can be fun. I’m able, tonight, to talk with her about her day, relate to a wider view & appreciate having watched a…[Read more]

Monday’s during the summer are our “adventure” days as hubs is off work, kids are free & we can relax.  During the school year, Monday’s are the day that I set up our weekly tasks/appointments & get our weekly dinners planned.

I’ll work on this while kid is at practice; it will distract me.

Sleepy bee from yesterday

Um, this almost a daily occurrence for me; I’ve got a bottle of Epsom salts with empty young living bottles in it that I soak in for sleep. My loving nieces MADE body butter, a candle, lavender bath salts, some lip balms & I forget what else for my birthday. The bath says are about gone.

Ran the wee one about to get work uniform bits, treated her to lunch & then had to deal with teen girl hormones as a cycle hits

just spent time cuddling her & watching Guardians of the Galaxy

breakfast: ice tea

lunch: a pork street taco, rice, corn & guac

snack: 3 pieces brownie brittle

now off to feed her chocolate & back away very…

Mine are….

God is with me

God is enough

i am enough

my fave is a magnet from a friend about “if you want to eat, you need to move your body”  or something like that

PT & then pizza for dinner

who knew neck & posture were interlinked with fascia & scars….

Yesterday, I soaked longer than 3 hours in the tub as PT mucked me up

(Why do you have me think this close to bed?)

What is the ONE thing I can do, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?

plan my meals & eat what I plan?  Develop a schedule or routine?  I think a schedule/routine would assist with the meal planning & eating on a schedule; that way it’s no longer 2pm before I realize I…[Read more]
