Last night, Angelica was invited to a sleepover at her friend S's house. Tonight, she was invited to stay again, so we picked her up just long enough to take her to her appointment and then we brought her back. Hopefully she's having a lot of fun. C and I are. We went to the … Continue reading Double Sleepover

Life
After dropping A off at school and driving down the street, I got a phone call. I answered it and a cute little voice said, "Mom, I forgot my project at home in the living room. Can you bring it for me? I'm sorry." Since it is her first time forgetting anything this year, and … Continue reading Life
Date Day
Today C and I spent the day together. We dropped A off for her first day of 7th grade. Then we ran errands and got lunch at Olive Garden. C took me to the film store, but the only rolls they had left were around 60 dollars. That's more than I wanted to spend, so … Continue reading Date Day
Happy Mother’s Day!
I woke up to a fresh baked lasagna made by C. It was scrumptious. Then I opened my presents. They got me a new set of rainbow lights for my wall! I had been wanting those for so long since my last set broke. They gave me a little raccoon, a candle, some art suppplies, … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
Welcome to My Refinished Space
I'm in my soft era. I want to write about my creative endeavors, marriage, motherhood, and Catholic faith. Of course I'll still write about submission, and also the Bipolar Disorder I struggle with. This is an honest diary. But I don't want as much acerbic content here as I have had in the past. I … Continue reading Welcome to My Refinished Space
Taco Bell
Today I went to my daughter A's school for lunch to surprise her. I brought Taco Bell. She was so happy! I had anxiety getting there, and anxiety waiting to see her because the cafeteria was so loud. But I stuck it out and I made it. I'm so glad I did. She's in class … Continue reading Taco Bell
Social Media Rest/No Buy
I have decided to not buy art supplies for at least the next 4 months. Or clothes. The only 2 things I can buy are film and books. Preferably kindle books to keep costs down (shipping is high) and to avoid having a hard move when it's time to leave. No Lisa Frank stuff. No … Continue reading Social Media Rest/No Buy
C is Home – for Now
We had a lovely weekend with C home. We cuddled, and he caught up on sleep. The organizer stood me up, letting me know 40 minutes after she was supposed to arrive that she wasn't coming. So I've found someone else to come on Thursday. Hopefully that works out. Aside from being stood up though, … Continue reading C is Home – for Now
A Week of Struggle
There's no getting around it. This week has been an absolute struggle. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. I'm exhausted on a spiritual plane. But I need to count my blessings, so here's a partial list in no order. My husband has been traveling safely and calling and texting as much as he can, though, with the … Continue reading A Week of Struggle
Bad Medicine, OCIA, Bible Journaling
Waking up was difficult to do this morning. Again, the medicine knocked me out. I'm not taking it tonight. OCIA was canceled today. Father C offered to teach it since I drove out for it, and one of my classmates was there already, but we all agreed it would be best to just reconvene in … Continue reading Bad Medicine, OCIA, Bible Journaling
