Light at the End of the Tunnel Part 3

So it’s been a while since I have blogged.

I tried a few weeks ago but couldn’t keep up

running around with a toddler. I can’t promise there will

be posts every day but I will do my best.

As far as that light at the end of the tunnel, I’d like to

say I am doing better; I have to say that I am all over the map.

There is a lot I have to tackle on a daily basis which makes my

anxiety run sky high. My depression has been

even with some ups and downs.

My sleeping was getting better however I decided to

take a late nap Thursday night. I slept from midnight to 4

in the morning so I could get up and clean in peace with

nobody watching. I threw in my beats and did so much that

I hurt in so many places. I’d love to say it’s all done but it’s never ending.

The best part is I don’t think anyone appreciates all that

I do which really dampers my mood. Because I took that late nap

(mind you I was up at 4, I cleaned and ran errands till 2.

I took 2 1 hour naps on Friday which didn’t cut it.

I went to bed Friday night at 11, I was up at 2:30, went back

down at 3:30 and was up again at 5. I have a granddaughter

today from 2-8 which means I have to try and get some more sleep at some point or else I will be dragging and toddlers don’t let you drag.

So to some certain extent I am doing better

but not where I want to be!!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
