I had a good day, with good news. My dad wasn’t admitted to the hospital. My mom worried he would be because he was diagnosed with kidney failure in December and the swelling of his legs has been really bad since they came home from Florida. I offered him one of mine when I first heard, but he has too many underlying conditions and can’t take it. But, today he made an appointment for a port for dialysis and was given a pill to help clear out all that water he’s retaining. Good news indeed. Both kiddos are gone for the weekend already, which is nice because I need a break. I have the whole weekend as one. I love them very much, but oh I’m excited to have interrupted alone time. It’s how I recharge my batteries. I’m going to read a whole book!

Here’s my gratitude journal for today:

Also, I bought my mom some shamrocks when they got home from Florida earlier this month. Today she found a four leaf clover🍀✨

I am grateful for the universe because of all the guidance, love, and light shared with everyone. Have a fantastical day!

Oof. Today was a day. I am drained and tired. With that said, I am grateful I stood my ground multiple times today and I am grateful for the strength to do so.

I am looking forward to resting tomorrow. I am grateful that I’ll be able to.

Here’s my gratitude journal for today:

Have your dreams come true in front of your eyes!✨

I had a good day with challenges but I am grateful for the time to do everything with. We had our annual eye appointments for the kids and myself. Also the kids had ortho too. Teens, teens. They’re constantly testing my boundaries, patience, and intellect. I am grateful for the patience that I have when I truly want to scream. Snarky remarks about their other parents or wanting more screen time when they know better. They know better! I am also grateful for my parents giving me rules, so I now how to enforce them. Maybe not exactly like them, but still. I had a great night with the sugar gliders. They played really hard and kept coming by to see me before jetting back off. Lots of fun.

Here’s my gratitude journal for today:

Here’s some pictures of Sirius and Orion. I actually got a bunch of Sirius today. He’s one climbing the wall.

Have a crazy awesome day!✨

I am grateful for this day, it was a great nothing special day, but it had awesome moments. I dyed and trimmed Aurora’s hair. It’s now a wine type of purply-red. I saw Noah and Cole at lunch and had some laughs with them. Aidan took a shower without being told, I’ll take that as a win. I am grateful for having to structure and be the bad guy with him, for I know when he’s an adult he’ll be happy he’ll know how to discipline himself. I had a relaxing night with Jon and watched a couple episodes of an animal documentary series. I was able to accomplish a bunch of chores in a little amount of time. Thank you! These cards keep coming out for co-creating with Spirit and besides this blog I’m doing daily, I’m getting the itch to write something new. I keep researching, but I haven’t had the whole scheme come into my head yet. I’m sure it’ll pop in sooner than later. I think after spring break, I’ll need to rethink my schedule and start adding writing hours again. Maybe just starting to map out a project will help?

Here’s my gratitude journal

Here’s Orion playing peek a boo with the edge of the table.

They’re so fast it’s hard getting pictures of them. Sirius had a great potty training day, but he wasn’t feeling like playing at all. Instead he just wanted pets. He’s rather hard to take a picture of, camera shy. Or just shy in general. Maybe next time. I am grateful for being able to let him for a long time.

Have a magical day!✨

Today I relaxed and crocheted a bunch. I thought I finished Cole’s blanket, but alas it’s still too short. He’s a tall guy, so I want to make it right. (Don’t mind my handwriting for tonight.) I read about merrows, watched Netflix with the hubs, planned out the next couple of months, made meals, and even cleaned some. Some. Feeling content, tired, grateful, and tired.

Here is my gratitude journal

Have a fabulous day!✨

Jk, it’s just a gratitude journal challenge.

Tonight I shuffled the cards with the sugar gliders. It was a lot of fun and something I’m going to do more. These three cards flung out of the deck, though it should be noted that Orion bite the Canary card during the preshuffle and he also tried to take it away. (Hence my gratitude sing-a-long mom joke.) Oh, Aidan roasted me pretty good at dinner tonight. Also, Orion drizzled a little in my gratitude book, but I’m okay with it. I’m teaching them to pee on paper, so good job Orion in a way. Sirius was scared during the shuffle but then became intrigued. Scrappy snores on.

Today I cleaned the whole house for Jon’s friend to come over to see it. Except he didn’t come in. I am grateful for the energy to clean it all since I’ve been taking it easy the last couple of days. My foot is healing nicely. Still not full pressure, but it’s coming a long a whole lot better! I am grateful the house looks nice too. I tend to let stuff pile up on my dining room table, so it’s nice to see it clear. We went out to dinner tonight to our favorite restaurant, super grateful for that treat. I love a chicken chimichanga and fresh chips with guacamole. After we got back I played Fortnite for an hour with Courtney, (Noah’s girlfriend of three years, also my squad leader.) We got a victory royal, which is awesome because I haven’t played in a long while. I am grateful for how we play together and have fun kicking ass! Normally we’re a trio with Aurora, but she couldn’t play today. That’s alright because it’s spring break and she’ll have the next four days with me. I am grateful for Aidan’s blood sugar levels the for the last day, he was in range! Puberty makes it hard, but I’m grateful to be able to help get it righteous.

Here’s my gratitude journal and a bunch of pictures of Orion (mostly) and Sirius (he tends to stay on me, more shy.)

I hope a miracle you’ve been praying for, comes your way today!✨

Today was a full day, filled with lots of love. I checked on my praying mantis eggs earlier. Pretty sure they haven’t hatched yet. At least I hope they haven’t, we’re going through so colder weather currently. Diring the fall when I was trimming my front bushes I noticed one sac and today I found a second. Pretty exciting stuff for this insect lover right here. Today kicks off spring break for my kiddos and me. Lots of doctor appointments. I am grateful for being able to go to the doctors for our eyes, teeth, and cells. Today I had some long talks with unexpected people. People I don’t generally talk to for long periods of time. But with that said, I laughed out loud and enjoyed the conversations. It’s way later than I normally stay up and it’s because of those conversations. I really had fun expanding my viewpoint.

Here’s those praying mantis egg sacs.

Here’s my gratitude journal

Enjoy this day! There won’t be another like it!

Today was a great slow day. My foot is healing, hurts but not as bad as the days before. I am grateful for all my cells working hard to get me back to normal. Thank you! My husband worked over today and I am grateful to be able to be here with our kids and also to make it easy for Jon to get his rest. I’ve been slow on my next project and that’s okay. I’m hoping spring break will give me a boost into something new to write. For now YouTube videos on how others make their graphic novels will suffice. Ancient Aliens always has great material too. I love that show.

Here’s my gratitude journal for today:

I hope joy surrounds you today!

Oh, I hear that card today! (Funnily I had that card yesterday too.) Yesterday I had a couple hiccups when it came to my stepson’s diabetes supplies and his track warm-ups order form that was turned in late and there for not allowed to be submitted. I got nowhere with anyone. But today, everything simply came easily. It truly did. All my worries, small not big at all, but still worries, we’re deleted throughout today. I had to go grocery shopping this morning and it hurt hobbling around. But I was grateful the store was mostly empty and people willingly helped me with things I needed without me asking. I also watched my daughter’s choir concert tonight and I was glad Jon surprised me and joined me in the audience. Before track practice today, Aidan was upset about going and said he’s not sure he likes it. But I am grateful that after practice he said he is liking it and liking how his body is feeling. That felt great to hear. Cole stopped by for lunch today, so I am grateful to get some quality one-on-one time with him. He was in a very happy mood. I am grateful that nothing is planned for tomorrow because I am ready for some much needed rest, but I am happy and grateful to have a full life.

Here’s my gratitude journal for today

Have a present day!

Is this that gratitude year challenge? Yes, you’re right! 65 days out of 365!

Today started off with gratitude from a place of pain. I talked about how I put curtains up yesterday. Well, I left a metal part of the bracket for the blinds on the floor. Oops. So, when I went to the bathroom during the night I stepped right into the metal piece. I am grateful I didn’t see what was into my foot when I pulled it out because I wouldn’t have been brave to pull it out in the light. I am grateful for the blood I saw to let me know I did a good job of hurting myself. I am grateful for my husband waking up and treating it for me because it’s in the ball of my foot and it went deep into it making it hard for me to do alone. I am grateful my husband at lunch for retreating it and wrapping it for me. I am also grateful for him for taking the kids out to dinner because I was exhausted and in pain, and for allowing me to rest. Thank you, thank you, thank you! With that said, I still chaperoned my daughter’s choir festival and was playful with the other kids in the car. I was able to be there even though my foot was throbbing, there were seats when I couldn’t take it anymore. I also was able to play with a seven year old was happy to have someone notice and play with him. Also, a big also thank you for Aidan completing my teaching him math today. It was unexpected and pleasant to hear. It was really nice watching my daughter’s choir festival and them placing the highest for the division.

Here’s the metal piece that punctured my foot

Have a marvelous day!✨
