I'm feeling pretty good about my day. I got my podcast episode done and two new ads recorded. If you haven't listened yet, now is a great time to do so. I'm very focused on educating people about vaccines and vaccine preventable diseases. I'm talking to experts that cut through the conspiracy and lay out the facts. Listen to Dr. Tara Smith break down the facts surrounding Measles and other VPD’s. Click here. The boys had a fantastic time at their aunts house and when I picked them up this afternoon, they had just finished spending the morning at the bowling alley. The boys hanging out with my sister and her boyfriend. ☺ ♥ After we got home everyone did a pretty good job of putting their stuff away and…

So I'm getting a break tonight because the kids are going to my sister's for the night and part of tomorrow. They're pretty excited and they really need this kind of thing, especially right now. I have zero plans because I literally don't have a life outside of my kids and yes, I know that's sad. It's fine though because I have work I need to get done and at least two new ads to record for the podcast. It's doable when the kids are home but much easier when they're not.

You won't be surprised to learn that today has been one of the hardest days I've had in awhile and that's saying something. We had to be out the door before 7 AM and make the drive to Akron Children's Hospital for an 8 AM appointment in Behavioral Health. I left…

I've been feeling very positive so far this year. We were able to get the house mostly caught up and more importantly, we're maintaining it. This is the first time I can honestly say this, since we've been on our own. Maybe that doesn't sound super impressive but I feel really good about it. Despite the positive, I'm struggling right now. My kids are struggling and I'm worried about them. I won't go into the details but Emmett is struggling more now than he ever has in his entire life. He wants me to pull him out of school and homeschool him. He's not sleeping well and when he does, it's filled with nightmares. His nightmares are really fucked up because he feels pain in his dreams and actually dies,…
