5 Things from this week

 Happy Friday! Today I am going to try something new, as this would turn into a really long post if I tried to highlight EVERYTHING that has been going on since I wrote last week. So I thought I would do a 5 things Friday types post to keep things updated. So here goes:

***************

Jacob had his 2nd indoor track meet. He threw 25'3" in the shot put, so I had to owe him $5. Grateful he is enjoying himself. Also thankful that I am able to go and watch him throw and then leave since we live close to the his school.

I decluttered our closet of doom last weekend. I ended up getting 8 trash bags of items to  donate and 2 boxes of items to donate. These have been in my car all week, but it has been too dang cold to stop to drop them off. I finally got a chance yesterday when I was coming home from work and it wasn't snowing or anything. Felt good to get those out of the house. 

***********

Speaking of the cold, the weather is stupid. We had a day where the actual temperature was in the negatives. Schools were closed this week, Monday through Wednesday. Today there was a 2 hour delay due to icy roads. The winter weather is stupid. 

*************

A good reminder that I painted the other night to hang up above my bed. I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping, for various reasons. I felt good to be creative. 

I also  put together some Lego flowers that I got for Christmas. They took me a little over 2 hours to do (over the course of 4 nights). I love how they turned out and they look great in the Ball Jar vase that I picked up last summer when I went thrifting.

I have been trying to work on my health this month and I have had various doctors appointments. One of those appointments was to get my very first mammogram. It was easy, painless and not as scary as I thought. I will admit that I have to go back in to have some more imaging done as they found some cysts that they don't like the look of. But I am glad that I am being proactive. 

So there you have it, 5 quick things for this cold Friday night to share what I have been up to, along with work (which I will write about another time), being mom and just living this life of mine. 

Hope all is well with everyone else. Until next time, I am wishing you all well.
