@Wildfire: I'm doing okay today. I'm trying to not let the hormones take over. My brain wants to over-think things and feel annoyed with the little stuff and that's not me.
So I'm going to focus on getting my son done with school and then head over to the grocery store to make some stew for dinner.
The drive was good for me last night. I poked around Barnes n' Nobles and bought a western and a very ecchi manga. XD 2 very opposite books. lol.
Sounds like your walk was nice and good to catch up with a friend. :3
@Wildfire: Good Morning.
I ended up being a potato yesterday and in the evening, I drove an hour to the city to do some browsing and get out of the house.
@Wildfire: you're definitely right on all accounts. I sat and thought a lot about it last night.
I'm just now getting my foot in the door with the homeschooling community. Next week I got day-time stuff lined up for my son. I'll be able to chit-chat with other local moms and see what other groups/programs they do.
I realized last night, that I have taught my daughter to not gossip much unless it's something that really got under her skin. I don't really tolerate drama. :o This situation just tells me my daughter acknowledges that about our relationship.


good Morning. I got my coffee and I'm likely going to jump into a video game soon.
@Wildfire: I went to my daughter's best friend's bday today. and boy, the mom had lots of fun stories about our daughter's school drama, friend troubles, etc.
I felt really out-of-the-know. It kinda felt like a slap. The whole time I was thinking 'maybe.. she should be at home too...' but my kiddo is social and needs that chaotic school life. =O

@Aisukohi: Its pretty cool to ask people what they use on these forums. Almost seems like a 50/50. Half like their phones and half like their laptops/computers.
I don't ever move my laptop, it lives in one spot, and when I have free time, I go to my comp spot and chit-chat throughout the day. :d
lol, now I feel like a weirdo. I only use my laptop.
Only things I use my phone for is messenger, phone calls, and TikTok. XD
@Aisukohi: your avi is Beautiful! <3 omgosh!

@Wildfire: My husband wants our daughter to go to the dojo too. But- I really expressed that our son needs to have something of his own. She gets competitive and passionate about everything she does. So if she excels quickly [no doubt], our son will get 'bored' or discouraged by her drive.
I hate when computers do that! D: But I'm glad you and your hubby had a good excuse to get out in the garden together. :3

omgosh, All these different art styles are amazing! =D
@Wildfire: The dojo has quite a few options, I'm going to stick my son in basic karate. My husband, on the other hand, has some 3 black belts, so he wants to go do the adult classes in some specific martial art- I can't remember the name. XD
Now both my boys are going to the dojo a couple of times a week. XD lol, probably.

Good morning.
@Wildfire: appt went well. All is good. Even got some good 3D images from the ultrasound. :3
I got my tires changed while I was out of the house and checked out a dojo for my son. I went during a perfect time, there was a daytime class going with other homeschooled kids. :p
@Wildfire: I'm not seriously concerned anymore about most things. But now I'm being wary and attentive. I get Braxton hicks throughout my whole pregnancies. There's no way of knowing without appts if they're serious or not. I'm getting the braxton hicks and paying close attention to them now.
I almost had my son early because I ignored the Braxton hicks with my last pregnancy. XD I was dilating without even knowing. Going about my business, having a grand ol' day and just so happened to have an OB appt that day. I got rushed off to a NICU where the doctors worked some magic and kept my son in for a few more weeks.
@Wildfire: yes indeed. It's a baby check. I've had appts almost every 2 weeks since this began. I'm a bit paranoid about some details.
Today will be an ultrasound appt where they check measurements.
Good Morning. Man, I slept a lot yesterday. And through the night. I still wanna sleep. lol!
But I got an appointment today. Time to wake up and get dressed and maybe even do my makeup. XD
@Wildfire: lol, I showered and then slept for over 2 hours. OTL there goes my errand running before I get a kid from school. I got tomorrow to accomplish things..
Turns out my grumpy non-snuggly dog likes my heated blanket. So she was laying with me the whole nap time. <3
@Wildfire: We had snow this last week and I couldn't drive my dinky little car because of the tires. XD I've had a continuous leak in one tire this year. So hopefully changing them out will help.
It's warm today, so a good day to bring it in as the 'change tires' rush is about over.

brb, I'm going to shower, and hopefully, that will help me get a bit more energy to finish up the tasks I wanna accomplish today. =O
