Roll with It

This week has already started off very different than I had planned. And that's ok. I have been toying with the idea for awhile of taking a break from Facebook and Sunday evening I decided that, come Monday morning, I would follow through with that idea. So far, so good. I like social media (for me just Facebook, Instagram, and this blog), but there are times when it just gets to be too much. Everyone's little moments can be viewed at a click of a button or app on your phone instantly. It was getting to be overwhelming for my heart and for my level of confidence and self-esteem. See, it's easy to compare yourself to the things you see posted, which for me can cause struggles with my insecurities. I'm in a place right now that I needed to remove that temptation. I needed to free myself and my time to focus on the things that truly matter. So here I am, day 2 and going strong! I've decided to share any moments and/or events on my blog because to be honest, it helps keep our families in the loop (Facebook is a GREAT resource for our far away families). Plus I like writing and have failed to keep this little blog up and running for quite some time.

Monday marked the day of a new month - hello, September! Happy belated Labor Day as well! It was also a day I had planned to start my "2 year old homeschool preschool" with Josiah. Sadly, I've postponed it to next week and here are the reasons why: 1) slight car issues 2) serious tooth pain that has left me feeling absolutely miserable and so so tired! Sunday we got new tires on the car knowing there was a broken stud that needed to be fixed. Mechanics were closed Monday (duh), so today we've had to take the car in to be worked on. Nothing too horrific, just a little wrench in our original plans, but we're rolling with it. Several weeks ago I went in to get some fillings done at the dentist. Toward the middle of last week one of the fillings (and surrounding area) started hurting. The pain quickly became unbearable over the weekend and my home remedies weren't helping at all! I've not slept very well that past few nights and all the tylenol I've been taking to help ease the pain (which hasn't done much) have left me feeling pretty icky. Called the dentist this morning, shared my painful story, and was informed the earliest I could be seen would be tomorrow morning. The NEXT DAY?! The. Next. Day. I literally started crying on the phone, both from the pain I was feeling in my mouth and the pain I was feeling in my heart for having to deal with this awfulness for one whole day more. Definitely praying it gets fixed tomorrow and does not need a second appointment to make it better. Have I mentioned it's been awful? Sigh.

Needless to say, Josiah has been stuck playing in the house and backyard when I had planned to get out and do some fun activities with him at home. Next week, people. Next week. We've watched a lot of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood in the past two days...

He rarely sits still, but he will for Daniel Tiger.

There are many ways to watch his favorite show {don't let the undies fool you, he still refuses to go on the potty and is not potty trained}

Seriously loves this show

Next week I hope to share some of our "mini lessons" and outings from our first week of my version of homeschool for a 2 year old. He has very little attention span, so this should be interesting. Also, I'll be working on more projects using my new Silhouette Cameo that I can't wait to share!
