@Bex953172 - My daughter gave up on the homeschooling as well, the battles that were occurring was wreaking havoc on all of their mental health. She has gotten Jonah reading more, and he has made some things with his Grampie that has taught him measurements, he plays some games that require math skills so he's learning, just in different ways. He also started riding a bike, with stabilizers (we call them training wheels) and without. Previously he felt that a bike was a death trap and wasn't willing to learn.
I'm so happy you and Ash have turned a corner with depression, it is a terrible disease. I had a cousin lose his 28 year old son to suicide last week, he was a new father and it devastated everyone.
Tbh it was tough mentally, I think I prepared 3 days worth of stuff and I knew, right at the moment, I wouldn't hack it. So I did things you said too lol got them in the garden planting stuff (Casey's got a beetroot growing lmao) got them riding bikes etc. Got Marley fully potty trained night and day now lol!
And yeah I'm glad we're out of it, 6 damn years. I'm sorry to hear about your cousin's son, that really is so so sad
I'm lucky I never got to a point where I actually did anything, in fact I never had any intention of hurting myself but it doesn't stop you thinking about it time to time.
I think for me it was just like living in constant low-level despair. I could smile and say hello to others like at the school gates but underneath it all I was just living in this constant despair, that just never went away. For me that was bad enough, so for those like your cousin's son, I can't even imagine how it must feel.5 -
Wow, 22 posts since I posted last night. I'll have to catch up later. This a.m. I started early even though working from home, b/c I wanted to walk dog before heat & humidity got to be too much.
JFT R 7/2

5) RSVP niece's wedding / wash towels / make strawberry recipes / meal plan & grocery list / other home chores?
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / set alarm to walk dog early a.m.

5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training

@Bex953172 BEEEEEXXXXXXX!!! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!!!!! I missed you so much and have thought of you often! I'm glad the girls are doing well and that you and Ash have turned a corner. That's a really huge step!
So I've been gone a few days. I'm have a really hard time staying consistent. I did so well for like a full year in '17 I think and then since then, I've just haven't been able to. I hate it because when I was coming every day I dropped 30 lbs. Now I have 50 lbs to lose and can't keep myself doing the same things every day. It probably has something to do with the fact that I don't have much of a routine anymore. Although, now that Matt is back at work I've generally been getting up early with him and not sleeping until the early afternoon like before. That's been really nice. And we've both been going to bed early so I guess that's a step in the right direction, right?
Yesterday was the start of July's Novel Writing Month. My goal is 25k words which I'm pretty sure I'm going to knock out of the park quickly. I wanted to make a goal that I could achieve fairly easily and this I definitely can. I finished my outline and flushed it out decently well. I've gotten over 6k words written in two days. I wrote a bit this morning and am going to write some later this afternoon probably. I also should do some cleaning today too. Lol. I haven't done much recently.
JFT, 7/2/20

It's definitely due to the lack of routine! And getting into a routine is hard on its own!!
Maybe in 2017 you did do well, I did too til Casey decided to rent my womb lmao!
But since then, Im sure you've just had $h!t going on! Wasn't most of last year took up by Matt's mystery illness? And then he gets back on his feet then boom. Coronavirus. So basically poop hit the fan again so if I'm really honest, I'm not surprised at all that you can't nail down some proper routine because there is no routine!! Everything is different and we all know how hard it is to change routines!
Give it some more time, and some more thought and you might just see places where you can alter things despite all the craziness going on in the world!

@mytime6630 JOANNNNNNNNNNN! I've been so worried about you and hoping all is well! So happy to see you posting!
@azulvioleta40 I haven't seen your post yet, but it sounds like you've not been feeling well. I'm glad you are back and hope all is well!
@ZizzyBumble I'm SO sorry to hear about your mum. Hugs and love, friend. xoxo
I have so much to read up on, so I'm sure I'm missing many of you, but please know I've been thinking of you all! I'll catch up later tonight and try to take notes!
Thank you for the caring comments about the loss of my job. I'm working through it day by day, trying to do one thing at a time and put one foot in front of the other. I'm trying very hard to find medical coverage at a reasonable price, and if I can find that, then I think I will be able to just retire early and be done with it all. That would be so exciting, to be able to just spend the days enjoying life with my husband. But first, one step at a time and we will see how it all works out.
I hear there is a pic of baby Ray on here, so I'm going to have to dig until I find it!
@Bex953172 I cannot believe our baby Casey is already going to nursery! Where does time go?
@SERmom3 I love the picture of your girls going on picnic! Thanks for sharing!
More later.....(As I go back 12 pages and catch up... lol)

@PackerFanInGB@HEGoddard0928 omg your evening treat sounds so yummy! I was obbsessed with yogurt when I was pregnant but havent had it much lately. Im gonna add that to my next grocery order. Ray is good! Hes sleeping thru the night at 4 months! Im a lucky mama

Thu 18: 149.2🤔
Fri 19: 149.4 🤓 I was wondering if this uptick is connected to the fact that I have started interval walking/jogging to get my steps in. I did a little research, and sure enough, there it was, in black and white. When you start jogging, the muscles hold on to fluid for muscle repair. Can be several lbs, and it sorts itself out when the body acclimatises, so I'm sticking with it until it settles down.
😂 Just when you think you have it all sorted, one little change throws it up in the air again. I'm guessing that this is temporary.

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning. PCP July 15 10:30. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
7. Theater: 1984.
8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Google Hangout. Dinners?
12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
WFTY: Progress. Okay so apparently Hamilton STARTS streaming tomorrow. Not sure how long it'll be available, though. My worry, given the limited view time of other theatrical productions I've seen posted (though not on a major streaming service), was that it would ONLY be available tomorrow and I'd wake up on like Sunday and realize I'd missed it.
Plan is still to watch it tomorrow evening!2 -

I meet my usual health goals yesterday but I feel so tired despite thinking my sleep is ok. I understand it’s an effect of grief so I’m not pushing myself.
Log
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg
Water
Fitbit exercise goals
Write some more letters5 -
I've loaded up the start of my day as I need the energy this morning, so today's commitment is to remember that, and not to overload the rest of the day.
Some of you have so many daily commitments - I'm in awe, I can only really focus on one thing!3 -
@Snowflake1968 - That’ll be great motivation to have you doing the same challenge. Good luck! I know it’s going to be really hard for me. 🤐
JFT THURSDAY:
- Log it all / stay green🟢
- Exercise🟢
- Start sorting paperwork🔴
- Start planning girls bday party🔴
We finally had a sunny day, so I skipped the paperwork and mowed the lawn and worked outside most of the day.
JFT FRIDAY:
- Fence project
- Log everything / stay green
- Housework
- Food prep
JULY CHALLENGE:
In an attempt to refocus this month, I’ve decided to try and give up chips. This will be extremely difficult. I eat them almost daily. They are my weakness. I’m using a bikini as my emoji, since that will be a goal for next summer!

JFT, 7/2/20
- Post
- Clean off kitchen table
- Gather laundry
- Perform ovu testTotally forgot. Which sucks because I need a consistent streak to be able to gage properly
- Write another 1k wordsI got caught up listening to a book. I found this new author who writes completely irreverent but still feel good cozy mysteries. Plus they're completely hysterical. I can't get enough of her!
- Clean off grill plate
- Actually cook dinner More grilled chicken and veggies but it is really yummy and super simple to cook. If I use my meat mallet and pounded it out pretty thin it cooks in like 7 minutes. I've been cooking kind of bland recently because Matt's stomach has been acting up recently but he said it's doing better so I guess it worked. Lol
Matt left his inhaler at home by accident this morning so I dropped it off for him. Boy was his parking lot HORRENDOUS!!! There's a Costco and a Christmas Tree Shop in his plaza it was a nightmare even trying to pull into the parking lot. There were plenty of spaces in front of his store though so that at least was nice. I finally saw the amount of work he has ahead of him. It's crazy. He has to build probably 25 bikes for customers who already bought them online and then he has probably 40 bikes that needed to be repaired. I feel so bad for him. He needs to be able to go in really early one day to JUST build. When he's not disturbed he can build like 25 bikes in an 8 hour shift. It's crazy. It's no wonder he's asleep by like 8:30 most nights. Lol
As for me, I need to focus on some writing today. I want to get at least one scene written out and see how that goes. Yesterday it was like pulling teeth and part of what I wrote I didn't even actually write. Lol. The story I'm working on now is a rewrite of the one I started a few months ago but never finished. So I just copy and paste a few paragraphs into the new word doc. Of the 1500 words I added to the doc yesterday I probably only wrote about 1000 of them then. I plan to actually write a decent amount today. Even if I am pulling my teeth out. Lol.
Okay, enough of my novel!

@Bex953172 *hugs* you are so right! We found out that Matt's mystery illness is actually 3 very large ulcers in his stomach lining. He's on medication and is doing much better, except for when he eats things he knows he shouldn't(like horseradish which is what got him sick the last few days) But the doctor thinks it might be another year before he's completely back to normal. Also, I had surgery to remove my left ovary which had a cyst the size of a baby's head wrapped around it as well as that fallopian tube. That was in February and by the time I was allowed to go back to work, schools were closed because of Covid so I didn't really have a job to go back to. They aren't supposed to be open again until September and that's not even set in stone yet. If they do, I will have been out of work for 7 months. It's just crazy to think about. Lol. Also, I demand a picture of Casey!
@PackerFanInGB It's so good to see you! I'm sorry you lost your job! I knew you were worried about that. I'm praying that you find health care you can afford because I can just bet you would love to retire early. Lol. I know that you've been loving the time off you've had because of Covid. Good luck my friend!0 -

Well yesterday was just a flop all over the place! I'll try harder today. It's also "supposed" to be sunny so I may get a walk in tonight.
@SERmom3 - It is very hard saying no the chips. I can do it at home if I just refuse to buy them which is easy enough. Here at work we have them all over the place.
@clicketykeys - My daughter is excited to watch Hamilton tonight as well. Her friend is having an outdoor screening of it. They are practising social distancing and watching it in her backyard. My daughter has been looking forward to this for a few weeks now.
@fairy_daisy - I hope you have a great vacation.
@teigansdad - Sorry your vacation isn't what you planned. One thing I do when I'm on vacation is be mindful, but not as strict. You just have to get back into it when you return home.
@Bex953172 - I have had a few bouts of depression throughout my adult life. I was coming out the other side of it when I realized what it was the first time it was after I had my youngest. She was 4 when I realized what had happened, I still don't remember a lot about her first few years. I just couldn't get happy and nothing I did was satisfying. The second time was after my Dad passed away, I recognized the symptoms and saw my doctor and got treated. Then a couple of years later, I realized I was in it again, it was the year that our financial security hit rock bottom.
@HEGoddard0928 - Your 2017 was my 2018. I did well up until after Kaitlyn's wedding last summer. I had injured myself and the weather was crap. We had so much rain last year I couldn't get out. I still had only regained about 10 pounds from July 2019 to March 2020 Covid has really messed with me and I'm not 100% sure why. I am trying to get back into it, I've bought new shoes I just need to have nice evenings to get out and go for walks and I need to control my food intake!3 -
Thursday: all food added to journal
Friday: add all food to journal3 -

Omg they took an ovary?! Is this why you have to do ovu tests because you're still trying for a baby right?
And as for Matt that sounds very painful ! Lol I did laugh a bit at the horseradish thing though, not that itnmade him sick again but that it's just such a MAN thing to do hahah throwing caution to the wind lol!
And I just tried uploading and I do t think it worked, either that or when I post this I will have uploaded the same pic 10 times hahah

Yup. I'm down to one ovary. And yeah I'm doing ovulation tests every day to try and find my peak fertility window. If I don't get pregnant in the next 2-3 months we're going to see a fertility specialist. This is the first time I'm actually doing daily tests and things. Before we were just doing it by the date method which is probably one of the factors why it didn't work. As well as the fact that Matt has been so sick for so long. And yes the horseradish things is definitely a man thing. Lol. Usually, he's pretty good but highly spicy/acidic things and dairy are no good for him. He was just being a dummy.3 -

3. still feeling dehydrated--at least 10C liquids
4. one outdoor walk--if I get really motivated, maybe I will go up to my favorite vineyard/olive mill and do their walking loop

DH has a few days off, the yard needed attention desperately. We jumped right in early morning to beat the heat, anf a few hours later i realizrd the morning was long gone! The yard looks great and were ready for visitors so thats exciting! My cousin is coming over night, friends tomorrow, and my meme and mom on Monday. I am SO excited for some socially distanced visiting. Today we went to my MIL for her birthday for a socially distanced outside visit. I dont know when we all will be comfortable easing into non socially distanced visits...i work with the public on the weekends so i dont want to expose her, and my BIL lives at home and doesnt practice social distancing much. And then my mom is working in a nursing home and despite no positive covid cases i worry. But one day at a time. Today were taking the rest of the afternoon easy...traveling with a baby and not being able to hand him off to grandma for help when were there is a lot of work mentally and physically.

Ah no way!
Have you tried the other way? :P
I think it was 2-3 times daily for like a month or two lmao!!!
And pretty sure Matt wouldn't say no... ANOTHER man thing hahaha
Jokes aside though, I think fertility specialist is a good idea! My brother and sister in law had to do that too, different reasons of course, I think she had polycystic ovaries and endometriosis
I think she started tablets to make her more fertile, I'm not sure, either she did or she luckily got pregnant before she actually started taking them! With twins nonetheless haha
Let us know how you get on!
