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,

Half A Day of The First Day

That's right!!! You didn't read that wrong. How lucky were my kids to get a half a day off on their first day back? Seriously no joke! We as parents have the right to sign up for alert texting. I just so happen forgot to do so after I had my number change due to crazy person. Never thought much about it and kind of forgot due to the fact at the time I had my number changed we were out of the snowy months. Therefor knew they wouldn't be calling school off anytime before summer because really the school had no more days to miss.  Summer comes and goes ( promise hoping to get the computer out from hiding tomorrow to update you all on why I have been M.I.A pretty much all summer.) and here is the first day of school (pictures down below).

[Not sure why Brayden looks constipated in the picture by himself. Ryleigh was looking at the TV as if mom I don't have time for the photos. The bottom left hand picture was so cute but my favorite is the top right corner. ] That picture is my favorite as follows (Copy and Paste from Instagram)....As the first day of school is winding down and it's close to this momma's bed time. I must say out of the few pictures I captured today. This one is my favorite. When I took them to the cafeteria before leaving I said, "Bub I want one more picture of you and sissy." This picture is what I captured. The true love he has for his sister. Hard to believe my babies are in 1st and 4th grade. 

Back to them getting out half a day. My lovely boyfriend/fiancé (not official but our phones list him as my husband/me as his wife) always calls me everyday at 11:05 in his lunch break. He said, "Are ya waiting on the kids?" Replying in a smart as manor, um no honey they get out at 3:00 pm and I know I sit 30 minutes prior. He said, "Did ya not get the text about the school dismissing at 11:50?" Replying this time as if I was dumbfounded because I was stating um no honey I haven't and I bet it's because I never register my new number. So hung up on him and called sure enough. They were fixing to dismiss. Why? Because the high school was having electrical problems and the district is a whole therefor they let everyone out. Mainly because the highschool itself doesn't have any windows.  None of the kids or staff was comfortable. As a parent I know I would want my kid out of the school. The other thing is now we must wait until morning to find out if they are out tomorrow. I was first informed by the secretary that a transformer blew. Then on FB teachers and other parents said school in session due to the electric was fixed to only find out that supposedly the electric was still off and it was wiring gone bad and it may take all night and all day tomorrow to fix. 

However due to the unknown which I hate. This mommy is heading to bed to get some sleep before my 615 am alarm goes off. 

Nighty Night
