What I'm Reminiscing About

 



I have been trying not to but I can't help it and I have been reminiscing and having some PTSD issues... this whole past weekend I thought about where I was last year every hour of the weekend as that is when my issues had started.  Trying to push forward- sometimes it is easier than other times

 


What I'm Loving


Although we have been in a rainy pattern and it looks like we will be for at least another week, I love the heat and the glimpses of sun and the time we have had in our pool and I am grateful!

What I'm Dreading


All the rain that is happening this week...ugh




What I'm Working On


My Job- My Home- Balancing It All- Blackout- My Health and Summer Vaca Planning (or planning on what will actually fit in my suitcase- ha!)





What I'm Excited About



This weekend at the lake - the 4th of July- seeing my girls on stage again- Shania Twain and just Summer in general!



What I'm Watching/Reading


I watched another interesting documentary on Netflix called "Take Care of Maya"

Another one based on suspected Munchausen by Proxy- scary stuff



and not sure I have mentioned this but I got sucked back into Friday Night Lights.  Rob and I had binge watched the entire series a few years back.  I watched the pilot a few weeks ago and now I am hooked again...now that I am committed I am going to see it through again...just can't get enough of high school football



We are still working our way through Blue Bloods too


and we started watching the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel- going to miss that Midge!


I devoured the first two episodes of Season 2 of "And Just Like That" (Can't wait for Aiden to return...eek!)



My Two Books for June are both from one of my faves, Colleen Hoover


Book 3 in the Hopeless Series "Finding Cinderella"



Book 4 is the only one you can read independently as I just learned and I finished it up last night "All Your Perfects"


and I will read the last book in the series called "Finding Perfect" next!




What I'm Listening To



When I am driving with Diana, we go between Shania Twain as we are getting ready to see her in a few weeks


and T Swift :)



Last weekend, we tortured Rob and his Dad when we blasted the West Side Story Soundtrack and Mamma Mia- can't take the theater out of this family ;)

  1. See, my favourite link up is happening tomorrow :) What a fun, action-packed month. And yes, packing for a trip is always fun but also hard, trying to figure out how to make everything fit. And I'm thinking of you as you keep pushing on, despite the hard. You've got this.
