Peace out May. You have been an emotional roller coaster. I am leaving you in the dust and making room for some rest and peace in June.
To put my month into perspective…
A little humor from Darcee
Darcee wanted some extra time on her electronics yesterday. My response to that was, empty and fill the dishwasher. And then we will talk.
Darcee throws her ams up in the air and with a puff of frustration looks at me and says....
Still celebrating that birthday..
Darcee wanted to take me out to eat for my birthday and tonight was the first night we could get away.
She decided on Amigos...on my birthday, she got to pick the restaurant
We ordered our food, she ordered a sweet tea and I had water.
When she was done eating she was anxiously waiting for the check to arrive. It was a mix of excitement....sweet and scary.
She saw how much the check was and fished the money out of her purse with zero hesitation. She was so proud of herself.
The whole way home I kept figuring out new ways to tell her how sweet and thoughtful dinner with her was.
First thing she says to Delilah when she walks in the door with some panic in her voice...
I paid over $30 for that dinner.
Needless to say Darcee has realized how expensive eating out is. Maybe now she will want to eat at home more often.

his was definitely not the Christmas I had planned BUT today was the Christmas we needed.
Zero Christmas parties
Zero Christmas cookies/baking
Very little decorating
Even less Pre-Christmas shopping
Santa had to send all her eleves out to do Christmas shopping and package pickup.
Everyone had to jump in and wrap each other's presents. And even get a little creative when one of Darcees presents wouldn't arrive on time.

Even with all the hiccups, this will probably be one of my favorite Christmases ever. Seeing everyone come together and keep the "magic" was priceless.
I won't wish being sick the week of Christmas on anyone but it helps put life in perspective.
Merry Christmas ✌️
