Well...we are 13 days into January...
and crazy to say...and think...but a lot has happened in these 13 days of 2021!
so what's been going on?!?!.....................
Well, Lily has officially decided that she hates.every.single.food.item.that.she.actually.likes.but.then.she.likes.it.to.turn.around.and.not.like.it.the.next.
second.....
did you follow me?
Let me explain. She will pitch a fit that she does not like {for example} the chick fila chicken minis. Well, two days before, she ate them just fine. Well, then she gets them the next time and magically hates them and refuses to eat them until I make her. Tyler and I have gotten to the point that we dont even tell her what we are ordering or where we are going, etc....until we are actually there because we just dont want to hear what we know is coming! Somehow....she has to grow out of whatever phase this is that she is going through currently!.........for Tyler and my sanity! :)
Lily also had her check-up on her eye today! Her and I popped over to Birmingham to see Dr. Hall and see his thoughts on if her red spot is dispersing. Well, he determined that it still looks about the same but maybe a little less dense so he wants her to keep doing the eye drops.....4 times a day....for another 6 weeks. On the next appointment he said that he will be able to tell for sure if the drops are working....soooo...we shall see! Lily is a trooper and hanging in there with the whole situation including the eye drops that she does hate but does it! Praying that the next appointment will show some difference!
She has got her Report card.............and A's!!! SO proud of her!! For us to be in a pandemic and for us to be doing blended school.....this is HUGE in my book because it all has not been easy and has just been crazy times so I am so proud of her!!
Even with the mask ON..........you can tell she is NOT wanting me to take a picture! ha! She just can NOT hide her expressions..................even with a mask!
LOOK at this chick! Way to GO!
This girl! She has literally.....turned into a lady in 2021! In just a flash....she is grown! A young woman! How has time flown so fast?!?! She no longer can try and steal my shoes, too, because her foot is officially bigger then mine! She is now in a size 7! I feel like that just happened in the 13 days of 2021 as well! :)
She got her Report Card too....and ALL A's and just 1B! She had an 87 and was so bummed that she was so close to all A's but said that she is going to strive to pull it up and like I said...because we are in the crazy times we are.........that is a GREAT Report Card! SOOOO proud of her as well! She is such a hard worker and really strives to stay on top of allllllll of her assignments and I have to say between all the late night basketball games...and having blended school....she is a ROCK star!
Sooo...the world we are living in....where do I start?
Only 13 days in.....and there is a very funny meme on Facebook where people are posting that they want a return because they have done the free subscription time and dont want to keep 2021 because so far...it isnt working out very well. COVID is still high. We are still in a pandemic...even more than 2020 at this point. School is still blended/virtual. Masks have really become something more important than anything else in terms of making sure you have it....that you have one that matches your outfit....that you have a storage area in your home to keep alllllll the ones that you, and your family, now own. It is VERY rare that you see someone out and about wearing the generic blue masks as now everyone has their own style of mask that they regularly wear and have on hand. My girls have become obsessed in terms of making sure they have masks that are comfortable, that are fashion statements,etc!
At this point.....there are sooooo many of our friends and family that have either been exposed or have had it. I do know more and more people that have become really sick and have been put in the hospital and have even passed away from it. It is starting to be....there are more people that have been exposed or have had it...that have not. To say that none of my little family has had it...is rare these days into 2021.
There are vaccines out in 2021...just 13 days in! The thing with that is....most people are nervous/anxious/scared to get it because of soooo many reasons. Primarily because COVID is still not understood.....so how do they have a vaccine for something that is still not really understandable. There are lists as to if you are able to get a vaccine at this point because the vaccinations are limited. Gran and Ben were able to receive one due to Ben's condition. Mallory and Mitchell was able due to them being in healthcare. I have many co-workers that have been able to due to them being nurses but my family and I....well, we are not on a list and probably will not be for a long time because we do not fit in any of the conditions to be able to have one right now. So, we will wait our turn...and I will decide if I really want one too...........just because....I dont know....it is all just.....well.....hard. It is all just hard right now.
NOW...also...there is a second COVID that is starting up and showing up in different areas of the United States. It is supposed to be easier to contract....and about the same symptoms...but they dont really know. Nothing is really known. Just crazy I say!
I CAN say, that there is an actual REALLY good reason that the masks are doing right now {you know...there is always, always, always....something good...something to be thankful for} The masks are keeping my face warm during these cold winter days! ha! :) I am thankful for them for that! :)
On January 20th, we will be having a new President. President Joe Biden. In the 13 days of 2021, Trump supporters raided the White House and trashed it and rioted the fact that Biden will be President. It was really hard to watch as it was happening. Just sad....sad....very sad times we are in. All in 13 days of January............2021....so much going on.
Prayers and looking to God is more evident than ever. We all need Him. We all need to turn to Him because the times we are in...are just sad. We need prayers for 2021 to turn around too!
Someone shared this on Facebook and I thought it was fitting. Though we have only been in 2021 for 13 days...my little family and I are trucking through and doing the best we can and making the best out of the 13 days that we can! .....................OH...and trying to NOT watch the news...because...yeah..you just cant. No news watching because then depression will set in!
Here's to 2021 at least ending on a great note and hoping that the year starts turning around!
