I feel good

If you've been reading my blogs, it's no secret that I have been soooo angry. I'm angry about a lot of things. I think I have finally pulled out of it, I am finally genuinely happy. I thought cutting alcohol out of my life would fix the anger. I still don't drink alcohol. 

So a mixture of things have happened, Sunday at church our pastor was talking about not minimizing your problems. I am guilty of that... I have my issues, but then I hear stuff about other people I know and I minimize my problem... Like, oh I'm angry but this person is dealing with cancer, so I have no reason to be angry. He also talked about identifying your problem, and accepting it. I have really been struggling with some relationships in my life that are well... crappy. I can't fix those relationships, so at this point I can finally accept, this is the way that relationship is... It just is what it is. 

So that's one thing. Another thing, this week my girl Stevei is here visiting. Her and her husband are the ones who bought my house in Hesperia, and are very close family friends. So anyway, her and her 3 kiddos are staying with me this week which is fabulous! So she was here for my birthday and her daugther is here for Claire's birthday. So that makes it extra happy birthday. Anyway, her being here is so great because she is one of the few people I can be raw with and she gets me. 

The last thing, and I do believe I owe the most credit to ties into Stevei being here. Stevei has been selling Arbonne since August, she's posted about it and told me how great it is.... I was like, "Oh, that's great, I'm glad you found something that works for you." She didn't push it on me at all. I knew she wanted me to try it because she knew I'd benefit from it. So, she brought a bunch of Arbonne products with her and I have tried a few. There is a drink they have called Innercalm. I struggle with anxiety so this was one of the products Stevei encouraged me to try. It has been so great, especially with 5 kids in my house right now. Yesterday Evan was doing his school work and told me he couldn't find a packet. Normally, my head would explode. I mean, this kid loses something school related every day. So yesterday I'm like okay, let's look for it together. We found it, it's all good. I have stayed so chill with 5 kids in my house. The other product I am loving is an energy drink. Okay yes, I am so anti energy drinks.... However, I have stopped drinking coffee and moved onto Arbonne energy fizz drinks. It's just this little packet of powder you add to water, and it's yummy. I'm still shocked I didn't get a caffine headache the day I quit coffee. I just feel so much better, I used to wake up every morning and my stomach hurt. Now, I wake up and I feel motivated my stomach doesn't hurt. I feel good. I am not selling Arbonne, that's not for me. I am buying it though, I just placed my first order and I'm super excited. I'm pretty sure Steve already sees a difference in me and that's why he is supportive in me ordering. Okay, that's it. I just wanted y'all to know that I'm good. Oh, I had a FANTASTIC birthday, I'll post another blog about that later. Goodbye anger.

PS - If you do have any interest in Arbonne, let me know and I'll give you Stevei's info.

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

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...
