Friday has rolled around again, which means it is time for Friday Cocktails! I am on vacation! We left a couple of days ago, and I can tell you that the chances are I am in the pool! I have spent the first couple of days not doing much, and it has been so good for me. Not stressing about posts getting done, not stressing about anything, has allowed me to breathe easier.
I have just been enjoying my time with the kids. I have been doing a little work each evening, and if you send me a message or an email, I will get back to you. Just know I am a little slower right now. I must say, though, that my work has never been more productive. Somehow, being so stress-free during the day has allowed my productivity to go through the roof. I haven’t gotten this much done in a long time. I am going to take it as a sign and just keep doing what I am doing right now.
One thing that always happens on vacation is that I get free food. Even when it is something I eat all the time, such as tacos. My sister-in-law is always trying new recipes or spicing things up. Whether we go to the beach, to their house, or to Memphis to check out the sights (which we will be doing soon), she always does amazing things with the food we eat.
While I have to be more careful about the things I eat because of my illness, I am taking nothing for granted this year. Last July, I was discouraged and thought I wouldn’t be here this year. So I am going to soak up the sun, enjoy all the crazy things the kids do and say, and also enjoy great food. within reason, of course. I am going to be grateful for each and every little thing that comes my way.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

My week was crazy! Snake in the chicken coop, ants coming in the front door due to a ton of rain, one child stuck a water bead in his ear, and another kiddo probably has strep throat. Here’s hoping next week is easy! haha

This past week was nice! Got back from vacation in time to have an old friend & college-aged daughter come to spend overnight with us, and celebrate the 4th of July at a neighbor’s party/fireworks! A fairly relaxing rest of the week, just running some errands & catching up on laundry, followed by a calm weekend!
