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!!

I absolutely love these! I love decorating for Halloween, I have to say it is my favorite holiday. I don't think you can have enough decorations up! So when I found this DIY project I just had to share! DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape). Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features.
