Month: March 2020

I’m exhausted and yet I’m laying here in bed, thinking ALL of the things. Honestly, from a Mental Health standpoint, I’m probably in the best place that I’ve been in years and yet the Uncertainty keeps reminding me of how little control, I truly have. And when the desire to escape, ignore or run away from my feelings/problems rises up; I keep reminding myself to turn toward myself. To embrace the pieces and parts of me that seem less than or undesirable. To check in and ask myself, what I’m feeling and what I need. All too often, I just need to actually acknowledge the feelings for the intensity and depth of the feelings to simmer down. I find that in the “turning toward “ myself, there is so much freedom. Over these next days and weeks you may feel it necessary or beneficial to turn toward your self. To sit with her or him and ask what you need from yourself at that moment. You may be surprised at what you hear or sense in response. . #covid_19 #anxious #turntoyourself #xangelle

I feel like we’ve done a weeks worth of activities today as we worked through the anxiety and uncertainty of these days. When the emotions ran high, we processed through words and pictures and art. We’ve played memory, got a LOT of dirt for the garden, made chicken veggie soup, played war, pulled the dead plants out of the garden, watched shows, played Xbox and even did about 3 mins of yoga until we were all stretched out. At least we did a few deep calming breaths. It’s hard to believe that we have about 4 hours to go, today. This is gonna be EPIC! #socialdistancing #doingallthethings #mentalhealthawareness #covid_19 #stayathome

This week has been BRUTAL. Both of my little boys have been home sick. Siah had 5 days of fever and coughing and was bad enough that we took him to the Dr. I was sure it was pneumonia. But the X-ray came back clear and he turned a corner after that. I could just show the first 4 pictures and you might think it was a very serene, calm week around here; but the reality is that it’s been messy and miserable and lonely and whiny. While I do search for the beautiful moments, sometimes the reality just hits a little harder. I’ll be so thankful when these monkey’s are better and I can go back to work……but on the plus side, I can get my hair up in a pony and there’s always popcorn, right? #thegoodabdthebad #lifescontradictions #notjustthehighlightreel #youshouldseemylaundrypile #lookforthegood #allthegerms
