Literally saw a few Zentangle videos yesterday while passing the time between things I had to get done. I had Crayola markers and watercolor paper, so why not? And now I’ve made four. I’m only showing two because I don’t like the other two.
And so here I am. I’m probably doing it wrong. But it’s colorful for now.
I am trying to work. She does not care. It is time for pets.
He was so good for the vet, but I def got the airplane ears. He must be learning from my other cat (that I posted a couple of days ago 🤣🤣).
How absolute dare.
We’re in Vegas right now to celebrate my teenager’s birthday (his favorite artist is showing here, and he had a milestone birthday this year, and his gift was a trip out here to see this artist).
Last night, my younger son and I took in a show just the two of us while my husband and older son did some window shopping (older son has champagne tastes on a teenager working part time during the summer budget). Tonight we swap - I’m taking my older son to his concert, and my husband and younger son are going to do some fine dining. My in laws join us tomorrow.
But for today? Today they are happily gaming at HyperX with their insanely fast and expensive PCs and I’m enjoying some peace and quiet, a salty/sweet snack, and some Netflix.
Ten years ago, I was a single mom, struggling to make ends meet, counting every penny and praying I’d have the ability to make it to my next paycheck. I was begging a jobless, lying, cheating, manipulative manchild to stay in my life who found my kids to be burdens. I was insecure, desperate, codependent. And now? Now I have an adoring husband, a partner in every sense of the word, a man who loves me and my kids and supports my much needed me time on vacations like this.
So I’m going to set my phone down, eat a few more pretzels and m&ms, and be grateful.
