I know I have been a little quiet, a little absent recently, but I’m trying to get back into doing what I truly enjoy – oversharing 🙂

The last few months have been challenging, but I’ve managed to survive and now thriving and feeling confident and successful.

Back in October, Matt was laid off from his full time job, so in November I went back to working full time (so I can cover the insurance) after being PRN for the last 5 years. It’s actually been a blessing in disguise. Matt is able to focus on his business now, and I’m enjoying having a more consistent schedule rather than working crazy hours, different hours, jacking up my sleep schedule. I work 3a-3p three days a week, which sounds nuts to some people but I LOVE it! Yes i wake up early and I go to bed early, but on my days off my body is in that routine and I find I’m so much more productive when I’m up early. I see the kids more on this schedule, and my sleep is so much better.

Of course, in true Murphy’s Law – as soon as my new insurance started the kids decided to EACH have health emergencies. Couldn’t do it a month before when we were on the amazing insurance through Matt’s work where everything was covered 100%. Nooooo… that would’ve made life too easy. Logan had a random severe asthma attack that involved a call to 911 and a long stay in the ER to get under control. Then Blake had an emergency surgery that has taken him out of sports for 3 months. Then of course the holidays, Blake’s 13th birthday, my birthday, and now the new year!

I feel like we are finally recovering from the chaos, and I’m feeling good and have energy to get back into doing the things I love again. Like helping others, sharing things I’m passionate about, and just enjoying life again.
