Wrapping up May

 Today is Sunday, May 30th. 

I woke up early this morning around 5:00 a.m., I couldn't go back to sleep so I gave up and got up at 5:30.  My hips were hurting so bad, I just could lay in bed any longer.  I sit here at the table now with my cup of coffee, taking a moment to journal and fill out my weekly unemployment claim. Sara left for work already, Susan left for church, Ben is watching T.V. and here I sit for a bit catching up on my blog.

So on the 15th while I was celebrating my birthday with Karlee, Sara had gone to Gallup with Ben and Susan to pick up her new car to her from Susan's mom.  It is a 2008 Chevy Impala.  Its perfect for Sara since she is moving in less than a month to Phoenix.  We will keep her other car, known as Sheila.

Karlee started her move to Phoenix on the 19th and finished up earlier this week.  Tuesday the 25th Nat's mom and dad came to help load up the girls stuff in a trailer.  While they were here an explosion of drama happened.  I still don't understand it and I don't really want to go into too much detail right now.  It happened with Nat's mom personally, verbally attacking my son Kyle. I'm not sure things will be the same with all of us again at least not for a long time.  I hope we all can heal and move forward from it.

The rest of the week after that I went to the house while Kyle was at work and Karlee and Nat were in Vegas to work on getting the rest of Kyle's stuff out and do some cleaning.  Scott met up with me on Friday to take the last load to his place, since Kyle will be living with him for awhile until Kyle can get back out on his own.  It was a hard physical week on my and I'm so tired.  

I had an interview on Wed, with a job that I thought was perfect for me only to find out in an email later on Thursday morning that on Wed. night they had sent an email to say that they went with someone else.  I was instantly crushed and felt so defeated.  I'm so tired of not being able to land a new job.  Its hard and stressful.

Karlee and Nat are coming to Flagstaff today to finish cleaning the house to get ready for a walk through tomorrow so they can all move on.  They are going to stay the night.  I plan on enjoying every moment. Then from Monday on she will officially be living in Phoenix and I'm not sure when I'll see her again.  It hasn't felt real yet, its felt like she has just been gone on a vacation.  

I am going to go through an adjustment of not being to just pop over to see her or have an idea of what she is up to.  She is on her own two hours away from me.  Its crazy she will 24 in September.  I'm going to miss her so much......

Well I better not sit here dwelling on all this for too long.  I need to get some things done around the house today and make a plan to re-group next week and continue my job search.

May Highlights Pt. 3

Saturday, May 15th I celebrated my birthday with Karlee and Nat.  We met up late in the afternoon for a drink and then we went shopping.  She bought me a few new items.  Then we enjoyed an amazing dinner at Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar.  The whole experience was so good, the atmosphere, the food, wine, and of course the company was perfect!

May Highlights Pt. 2

 

Sunday, May 12th Mother's Day

We enjoyed a windy mother's day bbq with music, smiles, and family.

Wed., May 12th my 48th Birthday!

Sara and I spent the day together. We enjoyed a very yummy lunch together at Pita Jungle.

We went over to Beaver Street where Karlee was working and enjoyed dessert before going to have a pedicure done.  It was a great day with my youngest!

Random pics of May

Susan got her and I a building to store our stuff and declutter around here so Ben can eventually have his whole building to himself.

I took my unemployment money out to go deposit into my account and I noticed a little message on the top of one of the 20 dollar bills.

A beautiful bloom!

May Highlights 2021 Pt. 1

 I haven't been blogging too much lately.  I'm not sure why, I do love to blog but it seems I don't take the time to do it much anymore.  I do have a new planner, self-care planner type of planner that I've really been using and enjoying, maybe that is it.  I'm too busy on that planner that I haven't felt the need or the energy to blog.  Anyways I will play catch up and show a little of what has been going on for the month of May.  It has been a busy month!!

Oooops I knew I had one more post to add to April....and its a big one!

April 29th my oldest graduated from NAU with a bachelors in Psychology! 

I'm super proud!

 

After a little day drinking celebrating all afternoon with Karlee and her friends, Sara picked me up and took me home and then we enjoyed a little sunshine out front to end a good day.

I love this picture of Sara just sitting there, looking calming out in the distance. She is such a thinker.

May 6th, 2021

Painting has become our thing when we are together.  We enjoy it!

May 7th we celebrated Karlee's graduating at Historic Brewery downtown.  It was so much fun!  She had a great turn out.  I've only posted a few pictures of that day but there were a ton of memories made.  And sadly the awesome day did end with a down side to it.  Scott (my 1st ex husband and the kids dad) ended up having a mild stroke.  The day ended in tears, fear and unknowns but the kids held strong and did what needed to be done and Scott spent about a week in the hospital after that. Since then he is alright and doing better and making improvements in his life.
