There’s hope yet
I’m trying not to be on my phone much, but I wanted to type this up really quick since I passed out before I could last night. Just trying to keep track of what works, keep brainstorming, and manage my thoughts/emotions. No one has a clue the extremity of feelings I’ve been experiencing. I’m not just here wasting time rambling for nothing lol
Anyway….yesterday….
Started the day off first thing by turning on 90’s country. I’ve been feeling down and that’s the music of my childhood. Nostalgic, peaceful, comforting. It really did the trick. I left it on ALL day. It was nice to randomly sing along off on and on al day too.
I’d planned out some activities to do with the kids the night before and was able to do that and juggle some household tasks in between. It was the most I’ve played with my 4 year old in some time and hearing her say things like, “Thank you for doing this with me….I’m having so much fun with you…This is the best day ever….” really filled my heart full. There is nothing more important that making time for simple fun with your kids. Before the IVF, I was the best and FUNNEST mom lol. It’s been a slow journey getting back to myself.
Anywho, we played with playdough and worked on numbers. Did board games. Played outside a LOT in the water and just running around being silly. This morning I ordered a new slip and slide, a really big one. I’m pretty excited about that for when her cousins come over. Plus, I can play with her. Lol. We watched Jumanji yesterday and snuggled. It was the scariest movie she’s seen thus far. Lol. She loved it. Around 5 we were reading a book on hurricanes and she passed out until 8:30!! So we let her stay up til 10 and hung out playing outside.
I also made the best chicken salad I’ve ever had in my life yesterday lol. I’m just going to toss tat out there.
So, today, I’m tired haha. Started the day off with some hip hop and my daughter and I had a dance party while making breakfast. Anywway, I don’t want to waste too much time on here. The day is still young…kinda..lol..and I have some chores I need to do before we can do something fun.
Oh, but I did sign up for a mom and kid hike for Monday with a group. I don’t know if we’ll manage to make it with my youngest’s feeding schedule in the morning, but I’m going to try!
