Bye Bye Grammy

Jenica got to spend a couple days with her Grammy from Idaho. She got a little spoiled by all the extra attention but it's all good! Grammy taught her patty cake and now she's an expert hand clapper. She also started learning how to throw with some new toy blocks that Grammy got for her. We were blessed with nice weather for 1 of the 3 days of her visit at least and were able to take some fun walks. We shopped for new clothes and for fabric to re-cover the cushions in our travel trailer (she's going to help me with that project when we visit Idaho this summer). She also helped me sew my first item of clothing with my sewing machine that Rob got me for Christmas - the black top that Jenica is wearing. Turned out super cute I think! Oh, and the most exciting news of all....after we got back from dropping Grammy at the airport we noticed that Jenica had gotten her first tooth! What a great few days. Thanks for visiting Grammy - see you soon!

Jenica was a most charming hostess! I wouldn't have guessed she was teething, except for the intentness she exhibited while chomping on her new toys. Thank you for everything.
I miss you!

How we got here…

Some of you have noticed that we moved. Some of you know that I bought a house. Some of you know I bought the house with my kids’ dad, my “wasband” of 5 years. Yup, you read that right! Me and the ex-husband purchased a home together. No, we are not getting back together. We have totally separate living spaces and it’s been so wonderful for the kids. Here’s how it started back in December. This is a page from my journal that I was looking back on.  It was my personal writing to myself that I feel led to share, so please be kind. The holidays are definitely a challenging time for me. Broken families, childhood, trauma, anniversaries of loss, along with the cold weather, short days, and little sunlight here in the PNW… It definitely challenges my mental health.  This will be my first winter without antidepressants in quite a while. I think I might have done one of the Mexico winters without pharmaceuticals, but other than that it’s been at least 11 or 12 years since I’ve been anti-depres

(I wrote this a month ago, but I’m just now finally brave enough to share it here. If you comment, please be kind.) I’ve probably taken 25 flights over the last year or so, and every time up until now I’ve thought that things would be better if the plane I was on just crashed, and I died, and Rob could collect the insurance money and hire a nice nanny to care for the kids and I could just go to heaven and be with Jesus instead of having to go through all the pain and hurt that comes with getting divorced. I know that this is completely selfish of me, and I would have never done anything to intentionally end my own life and leave my kids without a mother, but I honestly felt that death was the only way out of the situation I was in. I was not strong enough to leave my marriage, but it had become quite apparent that I was not strong enough to stay either.  Today I took off on an airplane, on one last solo trip before I become a single mom, and for the first time in over a year, I didn’t
