Keeping Busy

I haven’t written much lately because I’ve been keeping very busy. Going from feeling like I’ve got nothing to do to searching for time to write. So what have I been busy doing? Well, I’ve been working on decluttering my house slowly but surely. I do it in 15-20 minute chunks so it doesn’t become…

Therapeutic Thursday (9/2/21)
Today I was late to therapy. Ack! I hate being late!! I had it in my head that my session was at 11:00, but at 10:07 I got a text from my therapist asking if I was going to be joining her online. I can’t believe I got the time wrong! It was in my…

Therapeutic Thursday (8/19/21)
Just finished therapy. I knew going in that I’d be going through a lot of tissues. The tears have been flowing a lot this week. Ever since finding out that my home testing was denied, I’ve been out of sorts for so many reasons. I guess it has brought up more emotions than I realized…

New Territory
My kids have been in public school for 6 years now and I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to deal with drop off or pick up. Working in the school where my kids attended meant we were there long before the carpool line started up. Yesterday we…

Planning a routine
Two days until the kids are back in school. Two days until I feel completely lost and adrift. Two days until my days are an empty expanse of waiting for them to be home and praying they are safe. I know that I’m going to have a hard time with this change. I’ve worked in…
