Well, the United States Government is open again, after the longest shutdown ever...but the bill that was passed only funds through January so we will see what happens next...this is going to be interesting.
Does anyone else think Trump is acting really really weird? First he didn't release the Epstein files after that was one of the things he promised transparency on...second, he straight up dissed Americans saying we need H1B visas because we just don't have talent here...uhhhh what? I quite agreed with Brett Cooper's podcast thoughts about this.
Is Trump being blackmailed? Because he sure is acting weird. And NO we do NOT NEED 50 year mortgages. Thats another terrible idea, Trump. Please put Dave Ramsey in charge of the budget. Seriously.
I will be honest, as a fully homeschooling, cooking from scratch mama of three with a full time job, I mean, chronic illness (hah) I rarely have time to pay attention to politics with the two brain cells I have left at an end of the long day, but sometimes things seep through. I wish I had more time because as I age I find I care and also my BS meter waaayy shorter. I went from "pulling a republican lever" in my 20s to begrudgingly voting republican while internally angry about how corrupt democrats and republicans are. Where are all the good men? Oh, they are working hard for their families, aren't they, not manipulating budgets and dabbling in power plays. I know there are some good guys out there in politics but it seems like for every two there are thirty dirty players.
Who has time for politics when I can watch my baby sleep? Cuteness over stress, definitely recommend.
I was not impacted from the shutdown.
My sister lost her food stamps for two weeks.
My mom brought her food.
Anyway, we did school today and made it a lite day because it's Friday and mama is tired. Reuben starts 5th grade next week! How crazy. He's growing up so fast. Becky is on Year 2, Term 2 starting next week and Esther is alternating between crying and playing with play dough and getting into All The Things while I read.
I made homemade donuts and have been cleaning and organizing all morning. I am decluttering because Christmas. Actually, when am I not decluttering? I really need to get rid of way more stuff.
Life is good. If only I wasn't chronically ill.
Life can be good with a chronic illness, God is good...I know, but this is hard. I have had times where my chronic illness was in remission for a little bit, even long stretches and it's so much nicer. Maybe one day I will get there again.
Anyway, two weeks ago when I was getting colonics, I found out one of the names for whatever it is I deal with. I already know I struggle with type two diabetes, but now I know I have IBS-C. Apparently something called a low fodmap diet helps. I don't know if I can do another diet. We will see. I also have dyslexia and that isn't a chronic illness, it does make daily life interesting sometimes!
I'm a walking conundrum. My other issues are I get heart palpitations and I have blood clots sometimes. I also feel tired all the time but that can be from the IBS-C I have read.
There is no cure for IBS. It's a good thing I was made by a God is works miracles.
How are you all?
