Last night was rough, to say the least on these kiddos. Catching up on their immunizations was rough for them and they had a little bit of pain and did not feel good at all. I did the best I could to soothe them with PawPaw's help. He is such a wonderful man. He works 6 days a week to provide for us and we love him for it. I know he works hard since he comes home muddy and dirty. I may complain about the mud on the floor and the clothes, but I know he is working hard and doing a great job while he is at it. Tommy is a very smart man with a wonderful imagination and can accomplish anything. The projects and jobs they accomplish are extraordinary. The pictures and videos he shows me and what I used to could see on Facebook (my account was hacked and cannot access my account any longer) are amazing.
I'm telling you, they are perfection. One of these years we might be able to afford at least one of those projects, but if we don't, it's ok. We are truly blessed with what we have. We had a great life, or so I thought before the drug addiction. We are truly living a great life now with numerous blessings and these kiddos and our granddaughter Braylee. Our kids are struggling, but we try our best to help them. This COVID crap is hard on everyone. Don't get me started on the shitshow of that.
I really need to learn to take better care of myself. These last few months have been an eye-opener of how bad I have been to myself. My body is hurting all of the time and my teeth are awful. I used to have a normal amount of fat (even though I thought I was fat) and the prettiest teeth. Now, I am carrying several spare tires and have rotten teeth. But, that is not going to stop me from being the best MoMo I can be to these babies. I just have to choose which days we can venture out and go to the park. Some days I can get this body going and there are some days it says we have to stay around the couch and find ways to have fun inside (which is several days after an outing). I wish we could treat this arthritis better, but we have to wait until the heart issues are ruled out. Soon, soon.
On a different note, I am wondering when our first freeze will be. I cannot wait for these mosquitoes to die. Oh my gosh, we cannot go outside or the kiddos will get swarmed. If you leave the door open for a moment to let the dogs out or in, they just all come in and swarm us in the house. It is awful. Benadryl gel is being used a lot to soothe our mosquito bites. We really wanted to take the kiddos trick or treating, but we will have to slather on the lotion and repellent to keep them away from us. We have a few days and hopefully, we will be able to do something fun for these kiddos.
These changes in weather need to decide already. The cool fronts along with the pollen are not helping our noses and throats. Both kiddos have a runny nose and I have a sore throat. I have had a double ear infection for over a month and have been through 2 rounds of antibiotics and steroids, but it just won't go away. So frustrating. Have a message out to my doctor to see what we can call in or if I need to go in to be seen. I have never in my life been to the doctor this much. That is why this needs to be a PSA for those who can start now, please take care of yourself. It is so important. I know now why my grandparents preached to me to do the same. I just didn't take their advice.
Well, I hope everyone is having a great and blessed day. I have to go do more dishes and more laundry. And, I might as well sweep and mop up the floor again (done daily where my husband takes off his boots each evening). TTYL. God bless.
