Mommy’s Random Thoughts

(11:54 PM Sat.) Dad just finished putting up a billion traps to catch Michael, Minnie and Jerry...and whatever other mice friends they invited to live in our house lol. Mice always come around this time of year for some reason, I think they know it's almost time for our family to bake treats and they are hoping to get some too

(4:16 PM Sun.) Finally figured out what Monday's lesson was going to be about after my family watched Encanto on Disney+. I'll be discussing what holding onto things in the past and not dealing with trauma can do to not just the individual, but the family that comes up after the individual. I'll be taking about how it's okay to remember the things of the past that hurt, but continually living in it isn't healthy. Gotta get to writing! https://media.tenor.com/e7lST69157oAAAAM/shirasagi-chisato-bang-dream.gif

Psst... Just reminds me of what I used to do many moons ago... I used to, believe it or not, find passages dealing with something that stood out during the day, make a sermon and then a poem. I would then email that under a pseudonym, to people at my church. I still have a bunch of them, somewhere. That was a different life, 13+yrs ago.

(2:43 AM Wed.) Our eldest brother's birthday is today. I just finished making his birthday card, he's getting old! XD Not really, at least to me, but I will be teasing him about it today when we wake up for breakfast (one of the only times our family actually eats breakfast lol)

(12:42 AM Sat.) Just finished writing my lesson for this Monday. I believe it's the last lesson I'll be teaching to the babies :'(, that's sad but I'm thankful for the opportunity to teach and encourage not just adults but children as well ^-^. I wrote for like 3+ hours for this lesson...I was really inspired by one of me and my twin's conversations this past week. I'm really excited for this lesson in particular and I hope it touches somebody who's listening, even if it's just one

(1:20 AM Thu.) Mom, sisters and I had a girls day out...like two or three days ago, it was fun! We were out for most of the day and went out to buy pizza for dinner, twas delicious! (I love pizza). Our dad and brothers started to go crazy when we were gone for too long though XD, I'm just glad they survived. Today however was a fun day as well! My family has pizza and chips for lunch and then just sat around laughing and having fun. Then we played bingo like we are old people XD, but that was a fun game too! Didn't win at all but it was still enjoyable with the laughter and everything

(3:26 AM Mon.) We got to see stars today! Like, real life stars! It's been so long since my siblings and I have seen them, six-years to be exact, the last time we saw stars was in December 24th of 2017. We are fond of stars since we always saw a bunch at our grandparents house after leaving for the Christmas Eve gathering we did. And our grandad died not too long after...so that was the last time we saw a starry sky. But tonight we did and we witnessed two shooting stars! It was so beautiful ❤️ https://media.tenor.com/mpOMAJpsf3EAAAAM/aesthetics-anime.gif

(12:23 AM Thu.) I was so tired today and hardly ate/drank anything, but I'm choosing to eat now and just made some pizza with jalapenos and pepperoni's on it, sprinkled with pepper jack cheese and mozzarella. I also have a pumpkin spice tea I'm trying and I hope it's delicious!

(12:18 PM Fri.) Sometimes I randomly think about how when I was a child how...anxious, worried or even fretful I could be lol. And I'm surprised I held it together well as I was through the ages of 6-10 maybe? I thought my dad was deaf when I was like 3-6 and went up to people begging them to help my dad hear, I thought my dad was dying slowly (he was sickly then but not to the point of death) and my parents were too depressed about it to tell my siblings and I (so I just decided to make every moment count with him); I constantly cried and worried for my eldest brother and also worried he would die for the way he was when young. And I'm sure there's more but dang...I was going through it then XD. https://media.tenor.com/BSAEGR5ftsUAAAAM/satania-gabriel.gif
