Life in the Penalty Box: Updates on our lives...

So we had a crazy July. We took our little one to VA to stay with Grandma and Grandpa. And J and I drove to NJ to have his surgery done. It was really crazy, stressful, and exhausting. Hotel living and surgery don't mix well as well as travelling as much as we did. G was not happy to be at Grandma and Grandpa's house. She did get to meet her cousins in person. They are her second cousins but they are her age. She had the best time with them. We had an extra 2 days in VA before we traveled home. I spent as much time with G as I could. We went to Surge and she had a great time climbing and jumping all afternoon. She even got to have desert for lunch. Not my idea but aparently there are no food options except for the pancake desert place in the mall. So for dinner we had pizza and then she got to go play in the pool and her Aunt and Uncle's house. The next day was travel back home day. Longest drive ever. 8 hours plus a car wreck that took over an hour to clear up just 500 feet away from us. But we made it home and tried to get G under control. Monday was orientation day with her teacher and Wednesday she started 1st grade. We went to her therapist app as her behavior has been deteriorating lately. Maybe it's all the traveling. Or J not being well. Or just starting 1st grade. Who knows. She has good days and bad days. The therapist is going to have a psychiatrist contact us to get her started with another medication. In the meantime we have to wean her off of the current medication. It's not really helping so better to get her off of it. That's where we are right now. I'm doing all the work. Working full time, taking care of G, cooking, laundry, shopping, etc. I have been looking into preparing and having ready meals ready to make. Some will be in a jar that can cook with just water. Others will be in a bag with all the ingredients ready to grab off the shelf and prep. I have some things already that I like but meals in a jar is something we can use for long term storage as well has easy to go meals. I joined Thrive Life and decided to become a consultant since I can get the lower prices for the products. Plus, I really believe it being prepared and want to try harder to do that. Covid got me that frame of mind and who knows what can happen. I don't want to be unprepared for an emergency. Anyway, that's where I am today.
