Cast is off so a walk to the park it is.



I haven't been cast less in almost 4 months. Getting the green light yesterday was like winning the lottery. With my cast I was unable to drive therefore losing any little bit of freedom I had. Last night I drove myself to the grocery store and shopped....slowly. I can't explain the happiness I felt just being able to drive. Today we skipped school. Boys read and journaled then we played. We took a walk to the park and all 3 of my boys ran around and even broke a sweat in the chilly weather. 



I think tomorrow calls for another park day❤️.

Right now

I'm a homeschooling mom, it's our first year. I was petrified to go on this journey but prayed hard and God gave me peace over this decision. Yes life is chaotic, yes I've lost some hair(wish it was weight), but I feel this is where my life is meant to be. I have a toddler whose just consuming life at full force and two preteens who seem to be enjoying being taught by mom. Today I feel grateful, Today I feel powerful, today I will just relish in what life has given me, good and bad and be thankful just to be able to be.

       Homeschooling at its finest ❤️.

Toddler + Dog water bowls = Hot Messes!

Having a constant water supply and a toddler is a recipe for disaster. There is no way around it because well your pooch needs water. This whole situation is a constant battle in our home. After hearing myself yell "Ash No!" For the millionth time I decided to just give the boy his own water bowl.....problem solved. Now the boy gets his water to dip his Dinos in and I get to save my voice.

See now we are both happy ;).

Yeah I'm still alive.....

Can not believe I have not  blogged in almost a year. Quite honestly I have been pretty wishy washy with all this blogging business for quite some while now.  So lets see.... I am happy 2015 is gone, let the door hit it in the ass on the way out. Yes, 2015 was one of the worst years I have experienced. Only thing that got me through was my faith in God and my family who were there for me through it all. I can honestly say that through it all I know my family on his and my side truly love me and that alone helps the heart, soul and body heal. Sooooo what was the deal with this year? Well some personal issues followed by sinus infection, bronchitis, sprained ankle that turned out to be two torn ligaments and then some, wisdom teeth jacking up my mouth and causing pain, found out I was on the verge of being pre-diabetic (another way of saying loose one of your butt cheeks), and all this while homeschooling my children and attending night school. I had oral surgery on a Wednesday and ankle surgery the following day. With all this crap my sister came to stay with me for a week, my mother in law stepped in and helped after my sister left, my husband picked up the slack and was mommy and daddy as well as my personal chauffer, all along battling my brain to absorb chemical equations for chemistry. After a month I was finally released from crutches this past Wednesday so I can WALK!!!! This is huge for me people I am a very independent gal and I NEED to walk to cook, clean etc, I am a horrible patient ya'll! I still have a lot of physical and emotional healing heading but that's ok because I will get there. How will I get there? I will get there with faith, family and love for my family and because I am me, and those who know me have told me I am one tough bitch. Sorry for the crudeness that's just what I have been told AND that is why I will overcome it all!

Till my next post which will be sooner than later..
