1) I've noticed a lack of pictures on this blog. Other blogs I read have a picture every second paragraph. Part of this lack is due to the fact that I can't access iPhoto on my iMac. The other reason is I post so many photos to Instagram, I feel like it would be overkill.
2) I'm still Thriving and feeling the best I ever have. I've maybe had two? "bad" days since I started Thrive on December 15th. And when I say bad, I mean feeling like a 6 out of 10. Days where I use up all my clonazepam before the kids bedtime. This is a personal best for me since good days used to be a 6 out of 10. I'm no longer promoting Thrive or trying to get people signed up underneath me. I don't need another business.
3) Speaking of businesses, I'm selling all of my Sweet Baby K inventory. SBK is almost officially finished. It had a good run, but I find I just don't have the time to focus on it any more. Or the desire. SBK will always be my baby and I'm not selling the website. Whomever purchases my stock has to come up with their own name and website. I had so much fun with SBK over the years, especially at trade shows, hearing everyone ooh and aah over all the sweet baby stuff! I'm excited to have space back in my basement and am already planning a kick ass guest room!
4) Temporarily, we had three cats in this house. Apparently, when I PMS, I crave kittens (to buy, not to eat). We got Ruby back in October and by January, I was craving another kitty. We went to the SPCA and picked out an adorable calico/patchwork kitty. She was appropriately named Patches. Ruby and Patches hit it off and were the best of friends. And then Ruby got sick. Really sick. The vet said it was Patches that gave it to her (even though Patches wasn't sick herself). And then our other cat, Baby Kitty, got sick as well so the two have been sharing medicine. The final straw came when Patches peed on Miss K's favourite pink blanket. Once random peeing starts happening, it's game over. So back to the SPCA went Patches. She's a gorgeous cat and I know she'll get adopted again quickly.
5) The littles are currently at gymnastics with my dad and I'm not going to lie…I love this hour and a half to myself. My mom takes them swimming on Thursdays and then dad takes them Friday mornings. It's so nice to know I'm going to get that little bit of "me" time throughout the week. So far this morning, I've got the upstairs cleaned, the recycling out, the kitchen cleaned and the dishwasher loaded and running. It feels so good to get things done without having little people undoing everything you've just accomplished. T-minus ten minutes until they are home and the house becomes a mess again!
6) This past week, I was supposed to be subbing all week in a grade one class. I could barely make it through the first day. My anxiety was through the roof and all I was doing was yelling over the noise of the classroom. I think the full moon was affecting the kids and I felt like I got nothing accomplished with them. As soon as I got home, I phoned the substitute coordinator and explained what happened and that someone else needed to be placed in that classroom. I suggested someone with more experience, like a retired school teacher! That being said, I'm scheduled to do three days next week in another grade one classroom BUT it's a rural school AND the full moon will be over so I have a feeling those days will go much better :)
Happy Friday, y'all!
