Hey there, It’s me. Long time no blog.
Life has changed a lot for me since I last wrote. For starters I started my own business, wound up in the hospital again. Took a break from said business and started a job at a food truck only to go on vacation and not come back. Six weeks later I came back home and started a whole new routine (which included starting back up my business). So for the last two weeks Grant has been working 40 hours a week and I stay at home with Maggie.
Staying at home with Maggie is something I’ve never really done on my own before. Yes I watch my child, but it was never an all day every day thing. Grant would take care of her most of the time and would take her anytime he wasn’t in school or at work.
The first couple of days seemed easy. I had activities planned out, we went to the beach, all was well. Then she got cranky. And I mean REALLY cranky. This last week I’ve struggled to help her but sometimes just wanted to shake her till she snapped out of it! Come to find out after taking her to the dentist on Tuesday she has a canine tooth starting to break through the surface which might be causing her a ton of pain. It also would explain why she wouldn’t sleep or eat which made her even MORE cranky.
So lesson learned. Sometimes you gotta give your kid the benefit of the doubt. I hope someday when she’s a teenager and shes screaming at me then, I can look back on this post and think hmm…maybe I should give her the benefit of the doubt. Or just ground her. Either or.
But I digress.
The real point I wanted to make is that I’m trying learn and adapt and grow, to reintroduce things into my life that might be good for me. I truly hope that through my own personal reflections I help someone out along the way.
I cut all my hair off, hit that reset button and I’m back.
Love,
Claire
