William's Little Mermaid Makeover

Today was a typical day.  Not much happened...just the usual.

William gave Caitlyn's Little Mermaid Doll a makeover with some of Caitlyn's fake make-up, ha ha.  We died laughing when we first saw it!  I had to document it. 


The weather was nice early this morning.  We went on a walk before starting school.  Such a beautiful day.  Such a beautiful area that we are blessed to live in.


I was texting my friend today who lives down the street (she's in our ward).  She had 1 biological child and adopted 4 more.  She is so inspiring to me.  I have been really thinking about fostering and adopting lately.  It's just been weighing on my mind.  There are so many babies out there who need a good home.  I want to help so badly.  I really do.  Every time I bring it up to Jon, however, it's a "no".  I became upset about it today.  Is it a bad thing to want another baby?  Is it a bad thing to want to foster a child or to adopt a child?

Because I feel like I'm being the bad guy every time I bring it up.

I hate being the bad guy.

Jon is being very stubborn in regards to this.  No baby.  Final answer.

I think this a yearning that I am going to have to struggle with for the rest of my life.

There has to be an alternate way for this yearning to be fulfilled, right?

2021 Summary

 2021...What a year! Some Highlights: I read the Book of Mormon 4 times this year (one time I finished in 29 days!) We studied the Doctrine and Covenants for Come follow Me! Lizzie Started Highschool (and seminary)! William started Kindergarten! I got depressed being home without the kids...so I got my first job in 14 years! I was called to be the ward Young Women President in January. Jon is still serving in the Bishopric, this year as the 2nd Counselor. Bryce was ordained to the office of a Deacon and serves as the Deacon Quorum President. Jon broke his foot in March and had to have surgery. Our fruit trees produced no fruit this year, which was sad. Lizzie was extremely sick for about 2 months.  She had ovarian cysts, major constipation, and valley fever! We had the opportunity to listen to two General Conferences, which are my favorite holiday's. We went to Last Vegas after Christmas 2020, we went to Utah for Kynzlee's baptism, we went to Utah for the 4th of July holiday, ...

Another Lag in Posting

 I apologize for not writing very often.  I have just had a few really bad days this week.  Emotionally unstable days where I could barely make myself do the bare minimum.  Updating the blog wasn't number one on my priority list.  I'm feeling much better now, but I just can't properly document the past week.  Sorry! The days where I experience mental health challenges really get to me.  I feel like I'm in a dark place and trapped in my own mind, drowning in negativity, self-doubt, and self-loathing.  It's extremely powerful.  Thankfully, it is not like that every day of my life, as it is with those who suffer from severe depression.  I can't imagine not being able to snap out of it.  My "bad days" correlate very closely to my time of the month.  For about a week out of every month I feel very poorly, emotionally.  It's a hormonal imbalance that I feel is worse than most women.  At least I am unaware of any women who s...

Decluttering Day

Image
Jon took today and tomorrow off from work.  While he was working on decluttering the garage, among other errands...I started decluttering the house.  I only made it through Lizzie's room, the shoe closet, the kitchen, the loft, and William's room.  I will continue to add to this Goodwill pile tomorrow when I finish the rest of the rooms.  Those two garbage bags by the front door came from Lizzie's room alone! Mason and William did a few art hubs.  William is just starting to enjoy coloring.  It's so cute! Potty Training Update:  William was being very stubborn today.  He pooped and peed in his underwear and refused to sit on the potty, for the most part.  He did manage to make it to the potty a few times.  I will try to stick this out if it kills me! Lizzie put mini braids in her hair (after her shower).  She's hoping for the crazy hair look tomorrow! The kids after prayers and scripture reading....
