Cast iron!

I'm way excited. I have been wanting a cast iron skillet for awhile now and I finally got one for myself. I have been looking up recipes and I can't wait to start using it. Tonight Jay is going to do some steaks. I'm afraid I might burn myself but it's not going to stop me.

Update on self care

For the last 3 days I have taken my vitamins and yesterday I went for a 3 mile walk with my family. I have had more energy and have been sleeping better. Now let's see if I can keep it going.

The weekend

I had a pretty good weekend.
Friday night some of my siblings came up to Fresno and we went to dinner together. That was a lot of fun. We got to talk and catch up a little. And of course razzle each other.
Saturday I went to Tulare to attend a friend's bridal shower. It was lovely done from decorations to food and games. My team didn't win but we had lots of fun laughing and chatting with each other.
Before that I spent time at my sister Stacy's house and then again after. She was a great host. Before heading back to Fresno I got to see my best friend Amanda's new house. It is brand new and very large and beautifully done. I think her family is going to enjoy living there for many years to come. Plenty of space for all 7 of them. Plus she said I can crash there when ever I want!
When I arrived home I was greeted by my kids with excitement and love. "Yay mommy is home!" This is usually saved for Jay but I guess they miss me too sometimes.
A big thank you to Kyla Fox who offered to drive me around all day. And who listens without judgment to my ramblings. Providing amble adult conversation which I rarely find at home. Thanks again. ♡
Sunday I took my new commitment to self care seriously. I got up after 12, allowing myself plenty of sleep which I never get. Then Jay made me my favorite breakfast, California eggs benidic, which he's never made before. It was so yummy. I told him now that I know he can do it I'm going to be wanting it for breakfast all the time. After everyone ate we slowly got dressed and went out for a family walk. The older kids rode their scooters and Jay carried Liam in a pouch thing. I pushed the stroller for those who got tired to rest in (Hazel and Lily). We did 3 miles along the sugar pine trail. It is lined with 4400 trees. It was a great day for a walk. The kids did pretty good with it and I think we might start doing it once a week.
Finishing the night off with my chicken pie for dinner and the Oscars on.
So yeah pretty good weekend.
