2/25/16: I had given each of the kids $10 for the book fair at their school and yesterday was the last day. I had text their dad and told them, he was able to take them to the book fair (it's his days on Thursdays) and they each got some books that they really wanted. It made them happy and their love of books/reading makes me happy.

These are my kids. They are my life and their smiles make me the happiest person.

2/24/16: One of the people running for president was in town yesterday. On the way home from school I was telling the kids about it. They had asked things that he's "about" so we talked about that, then proceeded to talk about the other candidates and what they are "about." We then all talked about if we were president, what we would do... I cannot tell you how proud my kids make me. They both talked about how they would try to abolish racism, that everyone should be kind to one another like what MLK Jr. said. My son then started talking about how he would plant more trees, for all the trees that have been cut down, because we need the trees. They're six and five and they are so smart. :)

** On 2/18/16: I also had a photoshoot on this day and it was super fun and I cannot wait to see the results!**


2/22/16: It was National Margarita Day and you bet your ass I had a margarita with dinner! Josh and I went to Salty Iguana for dinner then went home to watch movies. Very nice, relaxing, quiet evening.


2/23/16:  The kids and I went to dinner to visit my friend Megan, who I haven't seen in a few weeks. It was really good seeing her. My daughter made her a valentine and then wrote a couple notes on the receipts for you. My daughter also wore her footie pj's with a pair of pj pants over them to dinner. FANCY! HA!

2/17/16: I honestly cannot recall all events that occurred on this date, but I don't think anything bad happened.


2/18/16: Saw a couple friends I hadn't seen in awhile. That was nice.


2/19/16: I went shopping, got a couple new outfits.


2/20/16: I got my hair done! It is lighter and trimmed up. Love it!!


2/21/16: Took the kids to dinner and we had a fun time.

2/15/16: Got a new tire for my car that was cheap & saw Deadpool with my boyfriend. I wore a red dress that I had been so excited to wear (for Be-lated Valentine's date). It was a nice day.

2/16/16: Josh's Valentine's gift to the kids was a movie, so we went to see Kung Fu Panda 3. It was actually pretty silly. We all had a good time.

2/12/16: The kids had their Valentine's Day parties at school and they were so happy & excited to tell me about what they did. I love hearing about their days in school.

2/13/16: I went shopping for the kids' Valentine presents. They were simple--socks/tights, stuffed animal (cat & dog), candy & some flowers.

2/14/16: Valentine's Day! I made the kids a big breakfast (biscuits & gravy, pancakes, eggs, & bacon). We made each other Valentine cards & we just hung out together all day. It was great!

2/l1/16: I got to hang out with one of my friends who I haven't seen in a very long time. We had a lot of laughs. I need to see her more often. Very fun time :)

2/10/16: I found a little love note from my boyfriend and it made me very happy.

2/8/16: I ordered lunch from this place down the street, Pickleman's, and they had the most delicious tomato basil soup. I know that's a random happy moment, but it was SO good. Good food fills the soul.

2/9/16: I created my daughter a private snap chat account because she loves doing the silly face filters. So now we can snap chat each other.

2/5/16: Bought two dresses for Valentine's Day. One is for the actual day, because Josh works and I will have the kids until 5. After I drop them off, I plan to get ready and head to Josh's work lookin' all fancy! :) The other is for the next day for our date.

2/6/16: I slept in and it was great.

2/7/16: The kids and I ate IHop for dinner, their request. They'd been asking me all last week that when I picked them up if we could eat IHop. So, we did. It was fun.

2/4/16:  I barely watched tv. I wasn't feeling too well and after work laid in bed the rest of the night. But it was nice not to have the nonsense of tv in the background. I don't watch much tv anyway, but it helped me think better--with the tv off. I enjoyed the silence.

2/3/16: My best friend, Tuyen, and I were getting into details of how our next (and last) wedding would go, who we'd invite, all the silly little details. It makes me happy because I know that she found what & who she deserves and so have I. Our entire friendship, we were with the wrong people. We realized within the last few years that we deserve better, and our counterparts do too. I am very happy for her. She is one of my best friends and I know she was knocked down for awhile, but she's standing tall now. Makes me smile.

2/2/16: My daughter is just like me, there is no denying that she and I are the same. Yesterday after school she was playing with her baby dolls and likes to put on her old baby clothes on them. She pulled out this long sleeper that she and her brother had from the hospital. It was too big for her dolls so I suggested (all jokingly) to put our male cat in it. She did and it was hilarious. He let her do it, he laid around in it and let her hold him in it for awhile. But once he was done, he was DONE. haha It was super silly.

Side note: when I was my daughter's age I wrapped the cat we owned in my baby stroller and strolled her around.

1/29/16: I signed my divorce papers and my case has been filed!

1/30/16: The kids and I had a picnic and then went to the museum. We had a great time! My boyfriend stayed over, that was a pleasant surprise. The kids also helped me clean up the house!

1/31/16: I made some delicious pork chops, mashed potatoes, and gravy...all homemade. :)

2/1/16: It makes me feel happy when I am able to take care of one of my loves. My boyfriend has been not feeling well since Friday and he stayed over Sunday (again) and I took care of him. I made some homemade tea, made sure he was comfortable. We did go out to dinner to get some pho and I think he is starting to feel somewhat better.
