On the positive side...

    I left the house for the first time in a week today. I went Easter shopping for my Nieces and Nephews! I decided I was going to do something fun and interesting for them this year, which I’ll share after I do it in case any of their parents read my blog before then! I want it to be a surprise for everyone! 

    I knew that If I waited everything was going to be super picked over and I hate compromising when I have a vision. If it’s last minute, winging it is my specialty but, this time, this time I have been meticulously planning this out for a couple of weeks now! 

 

    So I needed it to be just right! 

 

    I thought, “I’ll do something cheap and easy this year, but fun!” My cheap and easy Idea cost me nearly 200$ 180$ to be exact! Typical Shelby! 

 

    BUT! I got everything I needed and am super excited to watch the kids do all the activities I have planned for them! I even included some cute little gifts for the newest baby (we’re still waiting on his arrival!) I’m almost patient. But I just can’t wait to see what he’s going to look like! 

 

    I am on the mend, I think! I don’t wan to jinx myself, but I am feeling a little more myself today. I am still having some stomach pain, residual from my gallbladder attack I assume, but I am keeping a close eye on it, just in case. My health is my # 1 priority at this time; mental and physical! 

 

    Anyway, I am off to relax, I AM still recovering from a terrible head cold. It was really hard to carry groceries up my stairs today because I am still having issues with congestion and breathing. 

 

    I am trying to keep the mindset, that this isn’t permanent and I am not bound by my ailments. It’s easy to get lost in the negatives but the positive point is, I am alive. And for right now, that’s enough for me. 

 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

Adult Money...

Image
Having access to adult money is ridiculous sometimes! Gets notification: “Your TV will be delivered Saturday!” Gets another notification: “Your remaining packages will be being delivered several a day until Christmas” Like okay, Siri! Thanks for reminding me of my inability to stick to the budget I created each week! I go over it by an offensive amount each week! I should know by now that I can't even follow my own rules.  If you're good at this kind of stuff, I applaud you!  XOXO  Also, thanks for selling me out, SIRI- you bitch!

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
