Today I had to make a decision I have avoided for several months. I made the choice to send my kids back to in-person school. We've been home since the beginning of the school year trying to give the online school a go, but to be honest, it's been a total fail for my 13-year-old. He did well in the beginning, but it got boring and he started opening YouTube and watching videos while he had another tab open for school work. So it would show he was working on stuff, but never actually completed anything at all. He got in trouble with me and my husband, and raised his grades for the first 9 weeks, but has resumed his previous behavior again. SIGH. My 10-year-old has been doing mostly well for his first year in middle school, but still struggles a little with missing his schoolmates. It's not official, but I will call the school in the morning to see how we can make it happen.
I don't want to do this, but the truth is I have failed them in this. I should be better at being a teacher for them, but I am not a teacher, I am a parent. We have kept them home because we thought we were protecting their health from Covid, and I still feel that we have. I'm terrified that we'll get a notice that they have been exposed and need to quarantine. Children always bring illness home to their families, and Covid 19 is not something we want here. Since school started we have received at least 6 emails stating that someone that had been at school tested positive for it, and today was no different. I can now expect to see them twice a week and pray that it does not increase.
The state of Texas is now the state with the highest amounts of cases, and it increases every day. I am scared for our children, for everyone, but I will trust in God and the Goddesses that all will be well in the end.

I will start by saying I have no idea what I'm doing and where I intend this blog to go or if it will be going farther than my online journal of my adventures and hopefully my metamorphosis.
My name is Tia and I am a 49-year-old mom of two adult daughters and two middle school boys. I am happily married to my best friend for almost 14 years. But somewhere in between being a wife and mother, I have lost my personal identity. I remember when I was a single mom of two working 40 plus hours a week, I knew who I was. I was strong, independent, and perfectly happy being a size 16. Size 16 for me was comfortable despite only being 5'4. I felt sexy and curvy and happy. But the older you get and the more weight you put on the more you feel the identity crisis, or at least I have. I am trying to face the reality of me being my current size, size 22/24, and still, feel beautiful doing it. Expressing myself in fashion whether it's store bought or sewn by me, is what I'm hoping to accomplish. I love sewing, reading, cooking, DIY, and upcycling so I'm sure there will be some of this as well.
I feel like this is so 2020, in that I am trying to find or even reinvent myself like so many others. I've spent so many years of being depressed, so many years of repressing my personality, so many years of doing for others and not for myself. But it's time to learn to juggle family, home, and self care. I don't have the knowedge to share with the world on how to do this, but I hope that I will have it someday. Life is too short to not get my shit together, this is me trying to.
I will still be posting book reviews, but will hopefully be adding patern and clothing reviews as well. This blog will God/Goddess willing manifest into a better blog eventually. So I guess I'll be back tomorrow with hopefully more content or at least my own thoughts about life and the world in general. LOL
Here's to a new beginning!

Review: A Storm is Brewing
A Storm is Brewing by Constance BarkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
When 24-year-old Libby dies from a heart attack while working on flipping a Haunted House for a TV station, Everett and Ivy are called in by her mother to investigate. A ghost is accused of being the cause of her sudden death, but can a ghost really be responsible? According to a local psychic, Madame Sonia, it is. Danger, ghost, potions, and a missing brother and more are in Book #3 of the "Ivy's Botany Shop" series.
This was my first read in the series and I liked it, so I need to go and read books 1 and 2. I was able to come in at this point and not feel totally lost about what is happening, but I do suggest reading them in order if you can. I think there's a bit of chemistry brewing between the characters and can't wait to find out how it plays out.

Review: Blood is Magic
Blood is Magic by Alix AdaleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Rowan has had since her divorce from her ex-husband Burke. When Jill assigns her the Lotomaw Murder House her luck seems to continue to plummet. When she misses her perspective buyer's appointment due to another slashed tire, she arrives to see a scary figure that causes her to vacate the property as fast as her car "Mr. Reliable" will take her but she strikes a pedestrian on her way out. The handsome gentleman swears he is unharmed, but she knows she must have harmed him in some way, but she's taken with his Irish brogue and accepts his word on it. Her work seems to have a creepy cult vibe about it and makes one wonder if Jill is involved in the bad things that happen to Rowan every day.
"Blood is Magic" was a good read, but it didn't seem to evolve into more than that. The basic storyline is interesting, but there were some conversations and situations that just didn't click for me or in some cases make sense. I love vampire romances but I felt like Colin and Rowan didn't have enough chemistry between them, and Burke and Cherise were awkward. I'm not sure if I will read another book in this series since it was not very memorable to me.

Review: Chasing Ginger
Chasing Ginger by Marie LavenderMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
View all my reviews
I loved this book so much and was able to relate to Ginger and her dating problems, it was so much like mine before I might my "Lance". My now hubby, is also a tall good looking, fit, businessman that I would never have thought would be interested in me. But now almost 14 years later, I know he loves me just the way I am, however that is! Despite what I may think of myself!
