Proud Mommy, Happy Mommy, lalala!

Proud Mommy moment today! For those of you who don't know, Lucas can sometimes be a picky eater. We would try to feed him meat mixed with vegetables (in an attempt to hide the meat, he doesn't really care much for anything other than chicken)! Today for lunch he ate Turkey breast without any issues! I gave him some ketchup & BBQ sauce as dippers, he enjoyed every last piece! It is an accomplishment seeing as how at Easter he would not touch any meat at all. It gets better, at dinner I was out of options because he eats the same things all of the time. I decided that PB&J may be worth a shot since he has been eating the little Plum Organics sammies. So I grabbed the potato bread, PB and Raspberry jelly and made the sandwich, I figured he would not eat it as a whole sandwich so I cut it in 4 pieces. He ate almost the whole sandwich! We got to the last 2 pieces & I had to take a bite & nibble out of each to get him to finish it. But I am so happy with my little peanut, he is getting better at expanding his pallet! So not only did I get him to eat a new meat, he also had his first sandwich. Maybe going out to eat wont be so hard anymore. Watch out Disney World, your buffets may meet their match!

 So onto myself. Today I am doing well at eating better. It is a start, I had this delicious chocolate & strawberry cereal by Special K for breakfast (yummy!). Okay, I had a peanut butter cookie too (couldn't resist). Lunch I had the Turkey breast & bbq sauce (also yummy!). And for dinner, chocolate Slimfast shake (perfect for chocolate cravings). I also limited my snack intake, I had a piece of Smoked Horseradish cheese & Lebanon bologna, and a Nutrigrain fruit crunch granola bar! I upped my water intake to keep myself full with water. I'm trying! We will see how it goes for about a week or two before I decide on the next course of action. Side note: I am going out for dinner tomorrow & heading down the shore on Friday, so I can not promise I wont go nuts on all types of crazy carnival type food! Pizza, Curly fries, ice cream sundaes, Maui-Dogs, the whole 9 yards! Vacation is always an exception to the rule! 

 So I've been watching 'Dawson's Creek' on Netflix. I'm on season 1, episode 10. I really like it so far, some episodes are a little slow, but I'm sure it gets better, right? Dawson was with Jenn, Jenn dumped him. Joey likes Dawson, Dawson is still liking Jenn. Pacey was with his teacher, the teacher leaves town. Pacey now likes Joey....oy! This is going to be a love square! Must keep watching, only 6 seasons.

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...
