Today starts a new year in my mind!
Okay, so hear me out. Yesterday, I saw a show on Netflix that really changed my perspective on my health and my families health. I also had a spark to challenge myself to read the Bible. So, to keep myself accountable I will be blogging about my experiences.
Firstly, last night was awesome because I was able to read Genesis Chapter 1-3 after I watched the show and it brought some insight to verses that didn't hold meaning before. (See pics for recap notes)
Then today I decided to eat the following:
Breakfast: doughnut (by default because my husband bought it yesterday for me!)
Lunch: Mediterranean Salad, flax seed crackers with spinoff dip, and some flavored chickpeas on my salad.
Dinner: pizza and salad
Being all grown up
Why is it that even though you keep aging, you still don't have your shit together? I mean I'm about to be 28 years old and I still don't have a regular doctor, regular schedule for anything in life, financially stable, nor have a house that I can call my own. I mean seriously, I'm over here figuring out adult shit on top of having to make sure that I figure out my child's life. How does anyone stay sane? lol
Modern Parenting
Can we talk about it?
I don't know about you but I want to acknowledge the parents that are struggling because they do not have help. I'm talking about the parents that grew up in a split household, irresponsible parents, no grandparents, and no support from another family. I'm talking about the parents whose families have shunned them away because they are with a person they do not agree with. I'm talking about the parents that do it all on their own.
SUPPORT IS SO IMPORTANT.
Because these parents have to pay a daycare if they work and that can cost anything from $900.00 to $2,200 a month which could cost possibly more. Parents may pay a nanny or a babysitter which may cost the same thing if not more than a daycare just to get help. Or their parents living off of one income while the other stays home with their children because they can't afford daycare or a nanny or a babysitter but they also can't afford not to eat and be homeless.
DON'T SAY THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE KIDS.
Having kids at the ages people are or if they aren't ready for them financially isn't the problem. We live in a raising economy and are growing up in generations where there isn't help anywhere in sight. Back in the day, grandparents help or other family members step in to take care of their kids for free. They would call them family days, trips, and vacations. We now work 3 times as hard to be able to spend time with family, the family wants money for taking care of the kids, and everyone expects it to be normal nowadays.
We have failed as a society to have to bust our asses off just to provide a better life for our kids yet get no incentive to help raise them.
Parents are struggling. They have to juggle being a parent, a full time worker, and for some a student to help further their education. They have to take care of their home, their job, their kids, and lastly but should be the most important aspect, themselves.
People call it selfish when a mother is out having fun and having a drink but little do they know that mother hasn't gone out in months and was on the brink of killing everyone around her. SO LET HER BE SELFISH AND HAVE THAT DRINK. SHE DESERVES IT.
I won't leave the dads out of this equation either. Dads deserve breaks to because they have to play a role as provider and protector and that can be mentally and physically exhausting always thinking how am I doing enough to support my family?
PLEASE PRAY FOR THE PARENTS.
They are raising the next generation while barely holding up themselves.
They are exhausted.
Mentally fried.
Physically depleted.
If you have parent friends, check on them. Offer your assistance.
They may seem like they have it all together....
they don't.
Little health journey
The past few weeks with my health have been absolutely crazy. I started to have a cough about 3 weeks ago and has not gone away. I talked to my doctor about 4 days after it started and they recommended using Mucinex, allergy medication, and nasal spray. They said I had a sinus infection. So, I do that for 6 days and I’m getting worse. I’m coughing out more phlegm and I really wasn’t feeling good to work but I went in anyway. I go to work and I tell my manager I was so close to calling out. My manager sends me home about 2 hours early. I go to the doctor and they said I had a respiratory infection. They gave me steroids and cough medicine. I stayed home for three days after that trying to get enough rest, fluids, etc, and feel okay to go to work. During the weekend I still felt like I wasn’t getting better. I take everything for a week and still nothing helps so I go to the doctor a week and a half later and they give me Amoxicillin. The next day I had a dizzy spell during work and almost pass out, my arms were feeling numb or weird of sorts so they decided to take me to the emergency room. On my way to the emergency room I feel my body getting really tense and during my wait my toe turns purple a few times and I freak out. I was in the emergency room for about 8 hours. During that time they gave me an IV, Nausea medication, a blood and urine sample, covid/rsv/flu swab, and EKG. They did not find anything so they give me medication for the dizziness and medication for nausea. I get out of the hospital and I get my period. I stay home the next day. It’s currently the next day, I’m still getting dizzy spells and feeling tired.
I am unsure if I am stressing myself out or if this respiratory infection is, or what. But one thing I can say is, I’m over it.
