Life

    This is the 3rd time I've started this post. I start to type and then delete it all because I don't like it. I have become a person who is blunt. I'm honest. I don't like holding my opinions in. I feel like posting my opinion on Facebook isn't safe, everyone just seems so angry. I am angry too... I feel like all this COVID nonsense has caused more harm than good. I do believe COVID is real and I believe people have died from it. There are more mental health issues people are facing now. If we hadn't been forced to "quarentine" I think there would have been less deaths. What I mean is, it seems there is more suicides and more violence, riots. I have no statistics to back me up. This is my opinion, this is my blog. I need a safe place to get all this out. It's okay if you don't agree with me, but I am allowed to feel this way. 

     My kids really are doing good with online learning. I want them back in school, but kids having to social distance and wear a mask is rediculous. Claire has a unicorn mask and was wearing it around the house. I told her she couldn't wear it at home because it's not healthy. It's true... wearing a mask for too long is not healthy. I know some people aren't effected by wearing a mask all day, but isn't fresh air better for you? 

    I'm all over the place in this post. That's how my brain works, I start going on one subject but somehow spiderweb to another subject. Drinking has become a big problem. I was drinking, a lot. I mean, come on... I'm home all day, the kids are home all day. Nothing is open so we can't go anywhere, so to alcohol I turned. It was addictive. I finally stopped, I haven't had any alcohol since June. It's still hard, right now a margarita or a glass of wine sounds so good... Okay, more like a whole bottle of wine. Then Facebook became the addiction, looking around on Facebook, checking on the latest gossip. Which only led to me being angry and a grump. Reading about how these moms who are not making their kids do school. I get that some kids are having a hard time, but find a solution instead. Evan had a meltdown the other day and we talked to his teacher who found a solution, now Evan is doing great. Then reading about all the protesting. I hate reading it all but I just can't stop myself from reading it. I can't just not look at it. I have to take Facebook away completely. I think it works, I already feel better being able to share my opinion, and if you're reading this... you probably just learned way more about me than you would have by looking at a happy Facebook post.

Rafting Trip

Image
       It all started when my sister in law Sara told me she was headed up this way to visit with her daughter Savannah and they were thinking of going rafting. I naturally invited myself and Steve and the kids. So I started looking around for a rafting trip that I would be able to bring Claire. I found the perfect trip for us through Raft California. I booked a trip for the 6 of us. Steve's mom heard we were going and wanted to come along so we added her, then Savannah's roomate Iris wanted to come too so we were now a group of 8.          We met our tour guide at a hotel in Auburn. We piled onto the shuttle bus and headed to the American River. We were rafting the Lower Middle Fork American River. It was a blast!!! There was another group on the shuttle bus with us. A group of 3, two adults and a child... I'm guessing he was around 6 years old. Anyway, the ride down to the river felt forever long, we had to wear our face masks and the air d...

Goodbye 2020

Image
Hang in there, this is likely going to be a long post because there is a lot of catching up to do. Please do hang in there, because I am looking for advice. So, my birthday. Oh my gosh was it fabulous. So yeah, that week Stevei was here and that was fun. 5 kiddos under the age of 8 running around the house. Oh did we all have fun. I'm being serious, not snarky and sarcastic. Those kids get along great and pretty much take care of themselves when they are together. The only reason Stevei and I had to be there was to make sure they ate once in a while and didn't die. On my birthday I went to dinner with some good friends, because at that time there was still this thing called indoor dining. It's where you go out to a building and sit down, there are menus where they let you choose what you want to eat and then they bring it to you. Yup snarkiness back. Down with Newsom. So, fabulous dinner with 2 of my girls. Felt very loved on my birthday. My most treasured gift for my birth...

October

Image
 A lot has happened in October. My parents moved to Lincoln, which is only 15 minutes away. We have already gotten back to having our weekly dinners. It's fantastic having my parents close by again. They love their little neigborhood. Their house is in a cul-de-sac, within the first 2 days just about all their neighbors came over and introduced themselves. Their next door neighbor baked them some bread. Just wow! It's so neat that there are still neigborhoods that work like that.  October is kind of a blur. Actually, 2020 is kind of a blur. I spent a good chunk of October angry. Really angry. I try to limit how often I go to the market, when I am at the market I try to get in and out as fast as I can. Then, I have a hard time breathing because I've been nearly jogging the market. I HATE WEARING A MASK!  Our family made the decision together that the kids would stick with online learning for the full school year. Our school went back to teaching on campus November 4. So, t...
