Happy Wednesday everyone! We made it to the middle of the week. Honestly there really isn't that much going on around here to talk about.
The new job didn't work out. It just wasn't the right fit for me and that is okay. Something will come up that will be for me. I will admit that it is hard to not get depressed and down and frustrated and honestly I am some of that. It is what it is.
I can't believe it is July 16. This month is flying by.
Today would have been my 20th wedding anniversary. It hit me this morning as I was going through Facebook memories. I hadn't thought about it until then. I am not angry now, just sad. I never thought I would be a divorced, single mom.
I have been binge watching nature documentaries on Disney+. I never knew that octopus were such interesting creatures.
The weather has been so humid the last few weeks. I walk outside and immediately am drenched in sweat. We had some rain earlier today.
I had a good nephrology appointment this morning. That is a positive.
Ben broke his bed, so I will be in the market for another one for him. I don't know if he jumped on it or if Jacob jumped on it, but they sheared off one of the middle metal legs. I am not sure how they did it. Ugh. He would rather sleep on the floor anyways, so I am thinking about getting him a frame that is like 3 inches off the ground.
The kids are all gone tonight. The boys are at their dad's apartment. Rebecca is at my sister's house. It's so quiet here and I don't like it. I will have to get used to it though as Rebecca gets ready to move to college.
I just need to get back into a good life rhythm right now. I am depressed I think and my medicine isn't helping but my doctor left the practice and is not practicing right now. Ugh.
Just lots of ughs right now. Such is this season of life. I will get through it. It is just hard for me right now.
Until next time....hope everyone has a good rest of your week.
Sorry for all of the 'ugh' moments in your life right now.
ReplyDeleteI have grown ass adult kids who still break things like beds. Honestly, I am keeping a checklist over the summer!If it was me, I would keep my eyes peeled in thrift shops. You can almost always find bed frames there. We had a twin over full metal frame bought new which kid destroyed by breaking a leg in about 5 years. I found a full headboard, footboard and rails for $12.at a thrift shop. (Full is the easiest to find in the thrift shops it seems.) In the interim, we stuck some paving stones under the snapped metal leg to keep the bed stable.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you go for new, and your kid likes being low to the floor, ask for what is called a “low profile “ base. The mattress stores almost always have some sort of sale going on.
Good luck.

I'm so sorry life seems to be stuck on "ugh". I know the feeling all to well. I pray that you can find some different life rhythms to help you find your way back to yourself. You have been through a lot and have to still deal with a lot. I hate the new job didn't work out, but it has to be a good fit for where you are in life. I am a firm believer that what's meant for you IS meant for you, and I know that the ideal position will come to you. But, I know how worrisome it can be in the meantime. Just keep swimming....do whatever you need to do to feel better. I'm praying for you. Also, if you use Facebook, check marketplace for a bed frame. Something might be there.
ReplyDeleteHello there, my friend. I am sorry you are feeling stuck in that "UGH" place right now. You have accomplished so much and are so strong, but sometimes it just all gets to be too much.I know the feeling. Show yourself some grace. Do whatever makes you happy, and soon, you will be on the other side of this challenge. But until then, it is ok to be sad. Hugs and best thoughts coming your way!
ReplyDeleteI hope that your 'ugh' will be short-lived. I just came across your blog today and wanted to send you warm greetings from a retired lady living in Montreal, Canada.
