The hubs flew to another city on the east coast for the week. It sucks for me because I miss him and I have to solo parent and do it all. I am not liking that. The one on two time with the girls is always loved but I miss my other half. I miss my partner and friend and just the presence of him. This isn't a matter of capability, but of just disliking the disruption to routine.
So blagh. Blagh to dreary overcast winter days, to business trips interfering on weekends when normally they are strictly weekday things. Just :-(

Everybody's Got Something
That may or may not be the title of Robin Roberts' memoir about her second battle with cancer.
It is so very true. I have facebook friends who hate the phrase "Everybody is dealing with their own battles" or other things along those lines. I believe in it. It is something I remind myself each day, because I am NOT the center of the world, and it is not very considerate to take out my bad day on others.
I love the book, and the message within.
There are so many things that can irritate me and yet they may not bother others. Why should I let myself be grumpy when it could drag down those around me. I don't always win myself over with the peptalk. It feels good when I do manage to swallow down my grumpiness and see those around me maintain a happy mood

I miss the Sun. I love sunny days, and truly need the sunlight. Over the last few days it has been rainy, icy, foggy, and simply overcast and dreary.
These are the worst days for me. I can deal with below zero but sunny days and even the 99ºF sunny days, but when the clouds roll in, after about 24 hours without direct sunlight, I feel down.
I have class this evening, and I need to feed my kids and run errands. I don't want to do any of it, all I want is to wear warm fuzzy pjs, drink hot tea, and sit under a bright lamp.
This morning while dropping Bear off at preschool, she pretended to be a kiitten. I told her she needed to be a human, kittens can't go to school. She responded with "I wanna be a kitty at school" with a tone of voice that was pure Spock- level logical.

New year, new blog post.
It is January of 2017. I am taking one class this last semester, and am taking next year off. Bear will be in 4 year old preschool, and Berry will start 1st grade this fall.
My Bear is a spitfire. I love her ways of thinking. It is utter 3 year old logic and it makes me laugh on a daily basis.
My Berry is utterly kind. She loves everyone. She sees the best in all. She reads, she loves to dance and play and sing. She is the best 6 year old I know.
I love my kids more than life itself. I went to school over the summer and got my CNA. I started at a nursing home but left six weeks later due to the mental and familial strain.
As of right now: my life is joyous. I am blessed beyond measure.
My diabetes is under the best control since my diagnosis 16 years ago. My last A1c was 6.6. For those who have diabetes, this is still a little elevated but is amazing for my personal record. I am thankful!
