Happy Friday! Sorry I’m late, I was busy being all consumed by tic tok and a lady that got out of a cult. You know I had to watch all of her videos before I could move on with the morning.  And now we can! Happy day, and happy to have you here. Let’s talk about what rocked our faces off this week!

NGAF. I don’t know if that’s actually a thing people use…. but I mean nor giving a fuck. Do people use that? 🤔  I do, now anyway.  Look, I’ve been sick and I’m just so fucking over ear pain and sinus pressure and snot that I just don’t care that I have an ENTIRE ream of paper spread from my dining room to my living room with crazy kid drawings all over. I don’t care that there are puzzle pieces and blocks and stuffed animal creatures from each corner of living space to the next. I don’t care that my sheets are in a wad in the middle of my bed and I’ve been sleeping directly on my mattress. I don’t care that every dish in my house is dirty and my mother totally stopped by and saw my heathen drinking strawberry milk out of a freezer container. This is single motherhood. This is being sick in a disabled body. I spent my twenties and a lot of my early thirties caring about how my house was, how people perceived it. I will clean when I feel better and the antibiotics kick in. I will continue to tell myself that my kid is fed, loved and happy and enjoying himself and that he is okay in a dirty house from time to time. Granting myself grace rocks. We do what we can, when we can.

Speaking of my kiddo. He rocks. Mostly lol 😆  We had a field trip Monday and I was pretty damn proud of him. He is thoughtful,  kind and patient and it shows at school so I appreciate that. We had parent teacher conferences Wednesday and he’s just above average on testing and she had some nice things to say, and mostly said how quiet he is (hahahahahahahaa). I worry about him making friends and attachments because of the issues we have had with his dad and my foster kid’s,  but I’m hoping it’s things we can keep working through together. I took him to the trampoline park after the parent teacher conferences.  A big treat to celebrate my first paycheck! He had the place all to him self which was cool and also a bummer.  The kid working was nice though and tried to engage with him. Halloween stuff is this weekend so I’m trying to figure out car stuff to take him to do that.  This not having a working vehicle thing does not rock. Having a cool kid that is learning to find his voice and love himself does rock though.

Alright,  I know it’s not a lot this week, but all my face is leaking and it’s just snotty and gross over here 🙃 😅  I’m gonna close out and do our round up:

Things that also rocked my face off:

Coffee,  music, antibiotics,  Christmas bonuses in October,  random work road trips, friends,  the animals (always), my friend L for the tower for the demon!!
