More Than One

Sure, it’s great being an only-child with all the stickers I could ever want and a top-of-the-line computer with games galore.  But, nothing can replace having a sibling that although you may not always see eye to eye with, will most likely be the longest relationship you have in life.  A sibling will share the same core beliefs instilled into you from your parents, and will still be there through every failed heartbreak or career failure.  This is why I knew I always wanted to have at least two kids.  I love having one of each: a boy and a girl so I can see what a difference it is to raise them.  But, I also secretly always wanted to have two girls.  To see a sisterhood grow over the years would have been so fulfilling because I had always wanted a sister myself.  Maybe a third baby?  Nah, I’m not crazy.

2nd + 3rd weekend of August

Thank you for the lovely notes and cards of comfort and warmth yesterday.  To be honest, I was a bit surprised to hear from some of you, but it's nice to know there are a few people actually reading this blog.  I feel a lot better today because of you guys.  *virtual hugs*  Time also has a way of lessening the deepness of the sadness.  I'm sure there will be days ahead that will be difficult again, like when I actually see my mom in person for the first time, but I'll cross that bridge then.

Fixin 'er up!

My blu-ray player stopped working all of a sudden on Friday. I was thinking oh well, I've been wanting to upgrade it anyway for a while. Then another thought came into mind, hey, I should try upgrading the firmware before trashing it. Just upgraded, and I get to see this now:

It's Okay to Not Be Okay in 2020

 This year has been, what can we say; Disruptive, strange, and hard.  We were supposed to go on an epic Japan adventure sans kids for the first time, party at the BTS concert together, and explore more of LA as a family to name a few of our plans.  Instead, we tried to make the most of remote learning, rearranged our home to accommodate two work from home parents, worked our butts off to retain both of our jobs, and found small ways to keep the sanity. To focus on the bright spots though: 1. We are now raising some cute fish in a 10 gallon tank 2. Tie dying has become a family hobby 3. We enjoy quality family time every weekend with a lunch {& boba drinks} & movie date (Disney's Onward and Netflix's Over the Moon are standout favs)  4. Netflix & Kdrama has become a fond pastime for Eleen & Lucas (Netflix's Signal and It's Okay to Not Be Okay are excellent) 5. No one has been sick for a whole year (with kids in preschool & elementary school normall...
