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 ;)
