CV-19 - Social Distancing 2020



Are you distancing?

 We are distancing.

 Here's a bit of an update.

 The Boy and I are still living at my parents house. He is 3 and some change. He knows his alphabet. We tell complex stories. I'm seeing a wonderful man. He's an attorney in town. Currently we are all "social distancing". I'm working from home (as is most everyone these days) answering calls for an attorney answering service. Myles is at home full time, thanks to CV19. His dad and I pulled him early.

 Let's see what else is happening in life. Boobs: Totally perfect. No issues. Twice in two months they flipped, one on each side. The first time I went to the doctor and they flipped the boob. The second time I did it myself. So easy. *Don't try this at home.

 Currently, we are just living life. Our lifestyle just happens to correspond with CV19 and social distancing.

 I'm teaching The Boy to write his ABC's and trying to balance working from 10-6 with spending time and taking care of a three year old boy. He's so dang smart, it's fairly easy. Well, some days.

 I've been writing a lot, and maybe some of it will make it here. Maybe not. Depends on the copyrighting process.
Otherwise, I'm saving for a house. It's very slow going. And watching, along with the world, the rapid transformation of our society.

 Recently I had a conversation with The Boy:

Mom: What's your favorite food?

 The Boy: Chicken Nuggets (this is a lie. This child does NOT eat chicken nuggets for me anymore).

 Mom: What do you want to be when you grow up?

 The Boy: Marshall. (That is from Paw Patrol)

 Mom: What's your favorite color?

 The Boy: Red. (It was blue last time I asked.)

 Mom:  Who is your friend at school?

 The Boy: Sally Joe (She gave him a thank you card for her birthday gift and he said, "Awwwww.")

 Mom: What makes you sad?

 The Boy: Nothing.

 Mom: How old is Mommy?

 The Boy: I don't know.

 Mom: What do you like to draw.

 The Boy: A house.

 Mom: What makes you laugh?

 The Boy: Funny hair!

 Mom: What's your favorite thing to do?

 The Boy: Play!

 Mom: Play with what?

 The Boy: With my treehouse!

 Mom: What are you really good at?

 The Boy: Painting! (Uh... what?)

 Mom: What's your favorite place to go?

 The Boy: To the zoo!

 Mom: What is something Mommy always says to you?

 The Boy: She says, "no".

 Mom: What is your favorite toy?

 The Boy: My treehouse.

 Mom: What's your favorite thing about bath time?

 The Boy: Playing with bubbles!

 Mom: What is your favorite book?

 The Boy: Wocket in my Pocket.
He's so - well spoken for a three year old. He talks like a six year old, according to people who meet him. Raising him is the best part of my life.

Don't Ignore The Pain of Infertility

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week and the fine people at RESOLVE have challenged Bloggers to write a blog post with the theme of “Don’t Ignore Infertility”. In your life, in the lives of your family and friends, don’t ignore infertility. The words that so make so many of our hearts drop to our feet are: “Just relax, it will happen” and “Just trust God’s will”.  These (and others) are phrases that I can’t stand. They are meant to be helping words. Kind words. Words to uplift and give encouragement. And yet as quick as they are spoken, they cut to the quick and cause resentment, anger and bitterness. Some people experience infertility and never have biological children. Others have children and experience infertility after that, called secondary infertility . Either way, it hurts. There is no cure, and the best that we can hope for is to find some other (albeit very costly) way to get pregnant or have that child we dream of. I got married last week to a wonderf...

Anxiety, Caregiving, Separation from Kids and other anxiety and depression related things

 Today was a super hard day.  Yesterday I was supposed to leave with The Man to go to California for a vacation. Something everyone, including Momma said I needed. Well, American Airlines canceled the flight due to the weather in DFW.  I took a 1/4 of my Xanax (which I've never taken) to sleep last night and woke up feeling emotionally, physically and mentally unstable in an EXTREME way. Add to that when I'm away from The Boy from more than a few days it really hits my depression in a way that nothing else, even the stuff with my Momma does.  Today was taxing. It was hard to keep my head on straight and I felt like I was going crazy. I felt as if I couldn't control anything and needed to be hospitalized. Not because I'm suicidal or even depressed. But because my level of stress and anxiety is so beyond the norm that I felt like I just needed to be placed somewhere safe without anything to say, do, or experience. Except The Boy.  The Man is amazed by my level of ...

Caregiving For A Parent

Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 acinar carcinoma pancreatic cancer a while ago. Acinar carcinoma only affects about 4% of the population with pancan. Even after treatment at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, they had only seen a few cases and even with treatment her tumor was growing. She had the whipple in 2019. Fast forward to today, she’s been living with me and my 8 year old son (The Boy) for about 2 years now and it’s been back and forth from Northern Alabama to Atlanta every other week. That stopped when they said the treatment wasn’t working.  They sent Mom home. She did great for a while, but she’s slowly getting weaker and weaker and after a fall last night we made the decision that she won’t be moving around the house anymore. Thank God for Southern Beacon hospice. We’ve got a wonderful nurse and everything we need so she can stay in the bed. Yall, she’s so tiny. I can see every ligament on her poor little body. This woman has had cancer like 4 times. She’s a damn troop...
