Bring on 2018

I have some goals for the this year.  They are pretty similar to last years.  I didn't reach all of them last year but I was more mindful and I accomplished some of them. 

Not sure what 2018 will bring us.  Pretty sure it will bring us a teenager.  :0!!!!

At the end of the year I hope to be more confident with my decisions.  I hope that I will be more secure in life, financially, emotionally and spiritually.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids.

School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to.
