Our Saturdays Are Boring Lately

Today has been what I would consider a typical Saturday in our household, minus some things. Pretty much since Ken started working his new job he has worked Saturdays. It’s been something to adjust to since he works second shift.  Him working second shift has really been something to adjust too but that’s a whole other story. Today seemed to be just overall a bleh day. Brayden has pretty much stayed bundled on the couch. He hasn’t felt the greatest and neither have I. I chalked mine up to being Aunt Flo visiting but even that has been off this go around.  However, I just have felt extremely tired. I honestly didn’t even get up for the day u til around 11:30 a.m.. and have pretty much stayed in bed all day.  That’s okay though we are allowed to take it easy some days or even multiple days if we want too.  Ryleighs boyfriend is gone for the weekend so she has stayed at my parents all weekend.  Therefore making today extremely boring because it’s been so quiet especially since Brayden hasn’t been his normal bouncing off the wall self today.  He has actually been asleep for a few hours which very rarely happens on a Saturday even with his sleep medicine he still try’s to stay up all night. Ryleigh started her a FB page where she is sellingscrunchies she’s making and bracelets. My little hustler entrepreneur little girl.  But here’s to another boring Saturday. Tomorrow’s agenda will probably be just as boring besides the fact Ken will be off and we are going grocery shopping.

Anyhoo, this momma is gonna go to bed so I can get up to make sure Brayden feels ok enough to go to church in the morning. Just maybe I will feel better and get some much needed picking up around the house done.

One Sleepy Birthday

Not sure if I have mentioned lately that my son is in his last year of Elementary school and my daughter is in her last year of Middle School.  This week for both of them has been Homecoming Spirit Week. Each day they were allowed to participate in the fun activities to show their school spirit. Today (Oct 10th) has been overall in my opinion the funnest of them all. What child doesn’t like PJ day at school but what made it extra special is today is my daughters 14th birthday.  That’s right my baby was born October 10th, 2005 at 5:19 pm. 

But today was also such a fun day for Brayden as it was PJ Day for him is as well.

He wore a onesie of the llama character from Fortnite. Once the kids were home from school our friend Micki and her little boy Iain whom I refer to as my nephew came out and we all went to the Homecoming Parade. The theme this year was Mirror Mirror...therefore Brayden was one of the seven dwarfs and he chose to be sleepy. However we found out as soon as we got to the float that supposedly they got T-shirt’s made with the character names on them and hats and beards made. Since not knowing this until 15 minutes before the parade started I hand made Braydens costume this afternoon and I feel he turned out one cute sleepy dwarf. He even had house slippers to match. 

With the parade being tonight and Ken working we haven’t officially celebrated her birthday. We plan on celebrating it next weekend because she wants to celebrate it with her daddy and boyfriend (he’s gonna be out of town this weekend) by all of going to the movies.  Overall we had a wonderful night, now off to dreamland for us all.

Love always,

Where To Start

It is now the first day of October. I have not posted a blog since February but for good reason.  As most know I have had a lot going on since last year. From being addicted to a certain pain killer to learning to live life again without having to make myself high to do so.  But since February 2019 my life has been everything but simple and easy.  In April Ken and I had one of the biggest fights we have ever had. I will leave it at that out of respect for him and our relationship. However, since then I have battled with my health especially mental health severally.  I will say pretty much the summer was pretty decent, normal summer besides Ken not working but we survived.  Fast forward to September,  I know my body, I have struggled since I was 12 years old with my thyroid. I have a under active thyroid. For six and half years tho, I have been on the same script mcg. My body stop responding. But by September I got to the point I found absolutely no joy in anything. Like I was back to doing bare minimum to survive. I had brain fog like none other. Half the time not remember where I put my keys.  So I spoke with my doctor after not seeing her since April.  She couldn’t do anything with my thyroid meds because previously my levels came back normal (they’ve come back just in the normal range since having Ryleigh).  Therefor she was worried tho because I do have a goiter and now have a knot above the goiter that’s tender. Now I have to have an ultrasound done.  She put me on a generic form of Zoloft.  I went to the doctor on a Thursday and by Monday they were calling me that indeed my thyroid medicine wasn’t responding.  For almost two weeks I have been on Zoloft and a week and a few days have been on a new mcg of thyroid medicine.  But I really can tell a change. I’m getting my spark back. When I say I lost joy in anything, I even lost joy in keeping up with my planner. Well today I order my new Erin Condren planner and some Etsy stickers and ya girl can not wait to dive in. I also have been wanting to clean more and do things more. I’ve been a lot more active than I have been in a very long time and I hope that it stays this way. 

With all that being said, I am wanting to really dive back into blogging. Even if it’s just simply about our day. I am not going to make  quarented posting schedule but ya girl is going to try and back to what she loves to do. I am also gonna go through and clean up my blog some. My website isn’t extremely fancy but hoping once we get a computer back in our home can get all that set up. 

I hope those that have taken time out to visit the Occassionally Chaotic Mom understands why I’ve been gone but sticks around for more things to come. 

Also to remember you know your body better than anyone. Don’t stop fighting to feel better.

Thanks For Stopping By, 

The Occassionally Chatic Mom,
