Hello/Weekly Smile

Hello everyone hope you all are having a safe and smooth week. My week was actually quite nice.  Our weather has cooled down to the lower 80’s, a pleasant surprise because I thought it was going to be in the upper 90’s for another week. My teenage son has been asking me to take him

Weekly Smile and A Frozen Cupcake

Hello everyone hope your Monday morning is going smoothly. We have had some really warm weather this summer, but the past two days has been cloudy with a few sprinkles. I am really hoping for a down pour today because we really need it. Plus I love the rain. Yesterday I was at my parents

Checking In

Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Last month I wrote about my mental re-charge and the steps I was taking in order to feel better/get better. One of those steps was meeting with my family doctor and going over my mental health concerns. I already see a

Saying Hello/Panic Attack

In yesterday’s post Checking In, I shared about reaching a goal and not letting my anxiety interfere with my sons birthday plans. I was feeling good, actually quite proud of myself for pushing myself and the thoughts aside so I could continue on with my drive. I felt wonderful.  The whole week felt amazingly satisfying.

Nightmares/Terrors

This morning I got woken up by my pre-teen son, he was yelling at me.  Not yelling to be rude or disrespectful, he was yelling to wake me up. I was doing it again. I was screaming in my sleep. I was, once again having another nightmare. Not just any ordinary nightmare either.  I have
