Wow, it’s been too long! This whole corona and riot thing is just insane. Katie did digital learning from March 16th till the end and was sent onto 7th grade!

I’m still moving along with braces, woot! 27th made it 4 months with braces. It’s such a dream come true for me. I’m SO SO SO grateful for this opportunity. I had 4 teeth pulled like a little over a month ago and that took a while for the sockets not to be sensitive but I’m all good now. I think my expander is actually doing it’s widening job because the sides of the expander on the right side have created a pretty OUCH sore on the inside of my cheek. Y’ouch.

I really miss blogging because I like to recap the days and come back to them. So much has happened but can always begin again!! With today. I need to blog more because it helps me.. esp since I don’t have mom to talk to anymore.

We’ve been diving into potty training with Ben and so far we can get him to go pee but not the other, yet. I was so stressed when we were trying to potty train Katie 10+ years ago but am glad it’s a totally different experience now. Our Abbie girl is getting so big. She is almost 17 months.. went by too quickly, as it does. She’s getting quite a few teeth in at the same time but does really well and doesn’t fuss too much about it. She had a check up recently and is almost 22 pounds and growing just fine.

It’s closing in on almost a year since my mom passed.. it’s just still so weird. I wish I could pick up the phone and tell her about my day. I know she’s still beside me but always hard when you need that person physically with you.

Our recap for today!!! I stayed up till almost 5AM playing my favorite MMO in the whole entire universe – that I’ve been playing since 2007 – Lord of the Rings Online! I took my vitamins too late as well so I was not tired at all at like 4AM lol but was able to go to sleep. Got the kiddos up, fed, and then had my breakfast and I swear by the time I turn around it’s their lunch time. When we were done then Abbie went down for her nap while we went out into the front yard to get some sunshine for me, Katie and Ben. I had a really good time. I need out in the sun more and am hoping to get a tan. By the time we came back in it was snack time for them and a very late lunch for me then Brad came home from work! He had a 4 day holiday weekend coming up, yay! Once I ate then I fixed Abbie’s dinner so Brad could feed her while I went out to the vitamin shoppe to get some b12 vitamins and a few things from the store. I’ve been officially driving over 4 years now I could not be happier that I got my driver’s license! It is awesome to go out when I want to. I know most adults are like- duh! but I didn’t overcome my fear till late. Came home from the store then it was time for dinners and getting kiddos ready for bed. Speaking of, Katie is about to go to bed too.

I feel like my overall health is heading in the right direction, I hope. If this is your first time reading- I am hypothyroid, have major gut issues, chronic epstein-barr virus, and PCOS! B12 seems like a very big help to me so I’m gonna make sure I get enough. Taking iron over time has made lasting improvements too. It’s been a long road but I’m gonna overcome and be the fit person I wanna be, dang it!

That was my Monday! Finishing up my late snack, gonna feed our bearded dragon (his name is Yoshi and he’s awesome!), and then get ready to have RELAX time! =)
Wishing everyone a great start for Tuesday, let’s go!

P.S. I’M SO HAPPY IT’S SUMMER.
