HELP!
My milkweed plant is dormant- I need to cut it back, it and the aphids, but as I look at my plant, I see about a DOZEN Monarch Caterpillars!!! WHAAAAAT?! How? And how do I take care of them without milkweed?!
Open to suggestions!!! I donβt know how they have survived without leaves and it being cold!!

Holidays
I’m a little past Christmas, but whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope it was as AMAZING as you are!
I did baking and cooked two small beef rib eye roasts for my family and it came out quite delicious as it was the first time I ever did that, LOL.
My daughter and I baked cookies, including my favorite, PB cookies, and I baked a pie and a cake. It all came out delicious! It was just my kids and I and my fiance. Maybe next year, I will fly out of state to visit my sister, but we will see. What a horrible experience it was for travelers this year, huh?? My gosh!!
I was on vacation this week and next week, and I am enjoying just relaxing. Taking care of things I’ve let be, like my indoor plants. I still have to take care of the outside one, but it’s so cold and then rainy. I’ll get to them though. Thank GOODNESS they are succulents, LOL.
I can’t believe tomorrow is the last day of 2022. This year has just flown by, but I am looking forward to see what 2023 has in store.
I wish you all a safe and fun New Years Eve, along with all the many blessings in this coming year!!
Thank you for reading!

At first I thought she was a bit much, but watching this, Iβm more of a believer of HERβs than of anything Meghan has to say.

What say you?

So, did anyone watch the Netflix episodes (the first 3) of HarMeβs βstory?β I wasnβt going to, but I did. Nothing surprising, boring, quite frankly. Iβll probably watch the next 3 episodes this coming week, to see if they say anything new.
If you watched it, what is your take? Curious minds want to know π

Another One….
SO, my daughter had all the symptoms of covid, and continued testing negative…until yesterday. She now tested positive for covid-19.
Just as my son and I are getting ready to go back to work, SHE tests positive. He will now extend his time off, per his work, until the 18th, and I haven’t heard back yet from my employer.
This has been no fun, to say the least. I feel 1000% better than I did last week, just a lingering cough, and thank GOD for my inhaler. Anytime I leave my room, I have a double mask on, but if I can get back to work on Friday like I’m supposed to, I’ll be wearing a kn95. I also finished the Paxlovid last night.
I hope my son continues to test negative. This has just been no fun.
Hope you all are staying healthy and safe!

Beautifully Stated
My husband let go, not because he didn’t love his kids, but because he LOVED his kids and saw the pain there was. He also was not going to be disrespected by them or their mother anymore. He told them he would always be there for him, if they everΒ wanted to contact him again. He had hope of a future relationship with his kids, when they were out from the grip and control of their mother. Sadly, that did not come to pass. He died, suddenly and unexpectedly, 5 months after his last support payment was made.

Please see more of my posts on Instagram. I post 2-6 each day to spread awareness about parental alienation, to inform and to uplift. I hope they help. https://www.instagram.com/charliemccready1/
We let go because we love, and we don’t want to hold on to or exacerbate the conflict. An alienating parent absolutely thrives on conflict and then blames it all on us. It is counter-intuitive to let go when we love so much, but because we love so much, and we don’t want to create more pain and suffering, because we worry about the harm being caused to our child/ren, we let go (of the fight/anger/past). This is unconditional love. We don’t give up hope. We don’t quit working towards a better life for us and our child/ren. We don’t forget. We don’t even feel like we’ve lost because we don’t see our child/ren’s life as a game, we don’t see it as winners and losers. We hold firm, we wait, we embody peace, calm, strength, and LOVE. We strive to be happy. We believe we are sovereign, as are our children. A sense of freedom comes from letting go of the negativity in our lives – those situations and people – because holding onto them or fighting them is not helpful, it is beneath us, and it holds us in grief and anger. We ‘target’ parents are tested in the most challenging and heartbreaking way imaginable (most people cannot imagine, and do not understand), but there are many of us. We are not alone. We stand together. We know. we’ve got this. We LOVE.

In-n-Out
This was Keith’s favorite burger joint. Since I was down with Covid on 11/29, my kids went to get us burgers in remembrance of their Dad, my husband. We usually go twice a year, 11/29 and his birthday, 12/21. Even though this year we were a day late and I couldn’t taste it at all, (but I knew it was delicious) I would rather be late than never. We’ve done this in his memory for 16 years. I finished my burger, but not the fries. The sprite was cold, and felt good on my throat as I drank it.
