Over a year, already?

Is it possible that it has been over a year since my last post? That is a crazy thought. Lucas is 18 months, where did the time go?! 

 My little peanut is not so little anymore, he has his 18 month appt. on Monday morning, at the last visit he was 24lbs. & 32" tall. Life with Lucas has been fantastic, every day is something new with him. My little man is so intelligent and catches on to things so quickly. 

 Here is a quick run down:

  • Mom was his first word!
  • His language development is fantastic-surprised the ped at his 12 month appt. He knows 15 words and picking up more every week! 
  • He started walking around 12-13 months.
  • He currently has 12 teeth with 2 coming in.
  • He loves to read.
  • Follows directions pretty well, still working on some things.
  • Very independent & stubborn!
  • LOVES music & mummers!
  • And we are starting the potty training process, I think he is going to pick up on it very quickly! 
I could go on and on about Lucas! But there is enough about his every day happenings on my Facebook! I should make him his own to keep track of everything, he is a very popular toddler.


There is not too much new with me. I was laid off in November & it has been the best 5 months, ever. The money sucks but for Lucas's sake it is totally worth it. He has me home every day which is perfect for him & myself. I'm not sure what is going to happen in the next few months but if I have to work, part time is what I prefer. 

New years day has come and gone, not going to get into all of that. Drama of Mummers! We came in 2nd, damn dragon. The future is a bit unclear right now. The string band serenade was great. PA is a great group of guys, very welcoming & friendly to everyone. I miss playing bass with a band, it has been a very long (nearly 3 years) hiatus! Ugh, I need to play again!!!

Jim and I have been married for 2.5 years, things are good, every marriage has its moments! Our 3rd anniversary will be special, just as Lucas's 2nd birthday will be......we are celebrating both in DISNEY WORLD!!! SO excited! 

Oh, on the animal front my hamster died last March which prompted me to go and get a guinea pig that I named Sophie not even a week later. She is all black which is what attracted me, she was different than the 2 "generic" guniea pigs in the cage with her! We also had to return Lily to Paws in September, she was not good with Lucas & was very spiteful. It was tough, but I am hoping she is better now & with a more fitting family.

For right now, I think that is all I have to report on.

2020....in a nutshell....

2020 has been.....yeah....I can only sum it up with "What The Hell?!" January - Started with a great NYE & parade. I saw what should have been the first of many concerts for the year. Work returned to normal, post holiday saneness. February - Work & kids, repeat... March - Where sh*t hit the fan! The last of the normal we once knew. The week of St. Paddy's day was the last thing we did as groups before social distancing and what not took hold. Life was thrown through a loop for everyone, everywhere.  April - Unemployed & kids being home schooled. A new "normal" was taking place, and it was weird. My anxiety was through the roof and I was having a crazy hard time with it. I need to work & keep busy, it was not happening and it was taking its toll on me. I did finally return to work at the end of the month after almost 3 weeks on unemployment, it was nice to get back into 8 hour days & working hard. I spent way too much on things I real...

8 months later, not much has changed. Covid is still here, I had it back in November and it sucked. I had to miss Liam's birthday because I was in isolation. I also missed Thanksgiving. I don't wish it on my enemy.  We have our president-elect Joe Biden, and the first female vice president-elect Kamala Harris. Change is nice. I took on a full time position at work which was a great opportunity for me. I enjoy working, and I like the change of scenery of being in a different mall.  Life is still moving along. Going through divorce is a very time consuming process, getting responses from email takes forever. It's already been a month since I mailed the documents. The boys are still virtual learning. This is the first week back after winter break. Lucas is still an A+ student. I don't know where he gets it from! Must have skipped a generation. Winter break was nice for the boys. We went to Six Flags and got to enjoy very little crowds. Now we wait for the new season! Lucas...

What happens when years go by...

Life is Hard.... ...work has had me working my ass off the last few weeks. I put in 56 hours 2 weeks ago. The holiday season has me stressed at work. I need harder workers and people who actually want to come to work. ...the kids have me on my toes on the daily. Lucas and his ADHD/ODD is hard as shit to deal with. He gets me so stressed. I try my hardest, I really do. I sometimes wonder where I went wrong. ...relationships take work, I get that....but sometimes I have my doubts... ...I am happiest when I am at concerts and I get the chance to unwind and enjoy myself in my element.  ...Jennifer is my best friend, we go to every concert together. We can tell each other everything. ...my family is holding itself together still. It's been extremely hard since my Pop-Pop passed away in April 2018, things still have not been the same since. We all miss him so much. Not a day goes by that we don't think about him. ...I love going to Six Flags, that is the other place I c...
