[Music]
good evening good evening it has been a
very very very lazy day here in the
Ramadan house I don't know about you
guys but I'm sure there's others I'm
sure it's just not me but a today was
just one of those days that I could not
seem to get motivated to do nothing like
literally I I had a really rough morning
to start with with my babies and that
just kind of set my morning off to
probably not the best on a percent start
Omar well it started with my oldest son
getting his blanket stuck on my water
bottle and it's the purple one that has
the straw well every night before I go
to bed I always fill it up with some ice
and water I always put it on my side
table because you know throughout the
night I like to be able to drink water
if need be or whatever and not have to
like get up and go into the kitchen you
know puddle around trying to find cups
and all that so I always just filled my
water bottle and put it next to me
well my lovely son decided to wake up in
the middle of the night and come and
sleep with mommy and I think when he
flipped his blanket he dumped my my
water bottle well he probably wasn't
paying much attention because he's I'm
sure half asleep so I wake up at 6
o'clock this morning to a of water and
I'm thinking where is that noise coming
from as I know it's not raining so I can
look over and there is my water bottle
pouring water out and it was my whole
bottom part of my floor where my chair
is in the couch everything was saturated
wet so since the clock this morning I am
down on the floor
cleaning water all up off the car
which did not start my morning off at a
very great start
then Omar came out and a cranky mood as
usual because he's just not a morning
person and I think we finally have
accepted that he's just never gonna be a
morning person - as for waking up at 8 o
clock this morning and all of them be
well the two of them the two babies
wanting everything under the Sun that we
do not currently have in the house so I
had to keep telling them well we don't
have that so here's your options know
every option I gave them wasn't gonna
fly so I had them screaming and fighting
with me because they wanted certain
foods - finally my husband coming out of
the room and getting ready to need to go
and do some work and I was just like
today is just not a day for a night so
our dryer the heating element is
completely out like it is just we called
the appliance people to see because I
called like to eat long it was either a
week or two weeks ago to get quotes on
heating elements and scuse me and they
quoted me that it would be 58 to come
out and change it and then and then plus
not including the parts so you know when
they said well you know give or take no
sorry
it'd be 36 for them to come out and do
the part or to do the labor and 58
roughly between 58 to $75 for the
heating element and I'm thinking okay
that's still cheaper than going and
buying a brand new dryer which our dryer
is only I'll say five years old if that
because we got it right before I either
right before or right after I got
pregnant with Omar but I mean so it's
literally it can't be any older than
five years so I'm thinking okay well
let's do the math I guess you'd say to
figure out which one's going
work is it feasible for us to fix it or
just go and get a new dryer
so after looking at everything and
calling them I was like well obviously
it's gonna be cheaper to just get it
fixed so I told the guy that I would
call them back well that was like I said
either a week or two weeks ago but the
element is completely shot now like it
is not drying our clothes we are have to
run the dryer like six to seven times
our clothes are still coming out fairly
wet so I know it's the dryer the element
so I called them yesterday and the guy
says that well so he had us give him the
model number which we did and he says
well you know let me go look at the back
see if we have the element on hand and
then I'll call you right back I so go
okay not a problem this was like a four
o'clock at night they closed at 5:30
so last night comes and goes I never got
a call back and I thought okay well
maybe he just got busy or something you
know it's not a big deal I'll just call
back in the morning
so come to this morning I called him I
explained Who I am and the situation and
the lady says well let me send you to
the back to the repair you know the
repair department and let you talk to
one of them I said okay not a problem so
she sends me to the back and I'm talking
to another guy I don't know if it was
the same guy or not but clearly I don't
and so I'm telling him all this stuff
and he says well I'm gonna give you
three things to try first before you
know we go any further check the breaker
box check the the vent and check
something else I don't remember now so
or make sure that the the vent wasn't
King so there's your three things so we
did that and we I mean all he did clean
out the vent and there was a lot of
backup like there really was so we ran
the dryer again last night with a new
set of clothing from the washer and it
still wasn't drying the clothes so I
told the guy that today and
he says well okay he says um you know we
can come out we can check it and see
what's the problem you know and if it's
the element then we'll replace it if
it's the thermostat then we'll replace
that and I said oh okay and he goes so
it's gonna be seventy six dollars for us
to come out thirty six dollars for us to
for parts and our sorry for labor and
then you're gonna pay for the parts
which we don't know what that's gonna be
because it could be one of the two
things and I'm thinking okay this isn't
what I was told yesterday but okay
so I'm trying to do all this math in my
head and trying to figure it all out in
the midst of it my husband's trying to
ask me like what are they saying and
stuff like that so I mean tugged in two
different directions I'm trying to eat
my breakfast at the same time I'm sorry
if I'm like fill my anxiety kind of
piping up a little bit because the kids
of course are being kids so they're
being loud in the background the lady is
talking to me and is like well I can't
hear you I can't hear you and I'm
thinking oh my gosh like please and
she's like well if you have me on
speakerphone and I have a really hard
time hearing I'm like ma'am I don't have
you on speakerphone I have you on the
regular phone she was like oh it sounds
like you're on speakerphone I'm like no
so she says well you know whatever the
guys name is just gave me the phone
to write up you know for us to come out
and do the the service I said okay I
said but I never did get a finalized
answer on how much it's gonna be for the
thermostat or the heating element since
you know that's clearly what we're
trying to get fixed she says well I
don't know she's like I don't know what
he was talking about like I wasn't back
there I was like well he never gave me a
quote he gave me a quote on the how much
it's gonna cause for him to come out and
for labor and she's like he arted he
already quoted you and I'm like well
just on those parts like eat it and say
anything about the actual part part and
she's like well I don't know why he
would be saying that because we don't do
that
I'm like oh please just not today
please not today so I said ma'am I will
just call you back like let me talk to
my husband let me figure all this out
because this is the second story I'm
hearing so let me try and figure out
what's going on I hang up the phone me
and only talk all he's like let me just
try and you know YouTube this video let
me see if I can figure this out if I can
figure out how to take off the element I
can just simply take out the element
check in and see it and then we can go
from there okay great well it's really
it's such a mess so he calls the people
back and he's talking to them now
they're saying that it's gonna be 76
dollars for them to come out twenty-five
dollars per 20 minutes that they're here
so every 20 minutes it's gonna be 25
dollars and plus the parts that is
nothing that they told me there was no
no nothing in conversation about 20
minutes payments and $25 this if none of
that was ever said so now there's a
third way I'm thinking oh my god it you
know isn't just better for us to just
say forget it and go buy a new dryer I
mean I don't want to hand that money but
at the same time what are we gonna do
like this is getting frustrating so all
he just said never mind we'll just take
the dryer in have it diagnosed because
it's cheaper to do it that way and then
from there we'll just get it replaced
not the whole machine but whatever parts
need to be fixed so that was the start
of my that was the start of my morning
and it kind of just led throughout the
rest of the day which some days you have
that where something dramatic happens at
the beginning of the day that just sets
that whole day's tone for that day and
it's like like you know and as Sarah
wanted to take an early nap so she
cuddled up to me and she was out so then
of course I was like this is a perfect
time for me to lay back and close my
eyes for a few minutes so I did and I do
take a good nap I needed it I really
physically was just drained I just I
think because of the two days prior
going to Costco going to the mall
yesterday my anxiety I think it just it
really takes your body for that extra
little toll that it's not a hundred
percent like used to and so I think that
that's kind of what was going on was
that it just kind of caught up to me
today I think and I just kind of threw
me into a little bit of a funk and I was
like oh my gosh you know I really got to
get out of this funk like I just don't
have time for this so I got up and I
cleaned the baby's potty chair because I
really want to start potty training them
and clean the kitchen again I took care
of the bathroom and wipe the bathroom
down and did the what laundry was left
in the dryer that finally dried after
you know multiple amounts of times of
running it I folded that got that put
away and so I did stay steadily moving
but I just didn't have any ambition to
do much of anything else and it's okay
to have those days I mean honestly it is
really honestly okay to have those
moments where it's just like your body
just needs that solid rest day and I
think that that's just what my body
needed because I feel better I'm gonna
after this I'm gonna go and take a
shower and just relax for a few minutes
but you know your body just needs that
and I have to respect that as well
because every day isn't gonna be a day
of co-co-co co-co-co especially when my
body is so used to being on standstill
that I've been go go go go go for the
last couple of days a good amount of
almost a week that it's just like my
body is just like okay Amy let's chill
out a little bit let's have a little bit
of a down day you still move still do
things but just let's chillax a little
bit and that's what I did I just relaxed
and all he took the boys to the store
with him and that gave me a good amount
of time to just rest as her slept and it
was nice huh needless to say it was nice
so yeah today I didn't go anywhere I
stayed home
all day and just kind of bumped around
the house and did what you know I wanted
to do I didn't get any organizing done
today I just I like I said I think I
just needed a day of not doing anything
and just focusing on me and my rest for
today tomorrow's a whole new day though
and I can't I'm not gonna sit around all
day tomorrow you know I want to get
stuff accomplished and done and so I'm
really pushing forward to you know you
can have those rest days but don't allow
that rest day to follow into the next
day into the next day into the next day
because that's what I normally would do
but you know it's nice to have a down
day and for dinner tonight I took a
picture and I'm gonna insert it right
here
that look a little no me no me I got a
little mixture of some shrimp I got a
little mixture of some avocado a ism'
chicken but I told ollie tonight when he
made my salad he made it so big and I
think because we are all still so used
to me eating such a big amount that even
him he's used to that like if that's
what I've done on my my life pretty much
um but I told him tonight because I
could not barely eat all of it like
there was a lot left but I did pick out
the chicken I ate all of the shrimp I
tried to eat as much of the avocado then
the more you know nutritionist stuff I
did try and just eat more of that but I
got so full that I had to stop and
literally there was over half of the
sound of and I was like honey I love you
so so much it means so grateful you make
these ultimately best amazing salads but
that's because I ain't eaten that much
anymore he's like I'm so sorry I just
sometimes I forget and I'm like no it's
okay things happen and you know we're
still adjusting to me and my changes
that it's gonna happen but let's just
try and make the food a little bit
smaller amounts because my stomach
honestly can't hold that much and I am
noticing that I am wasting so much food
and it's not on purpose but it's just
and it's stuff like solids I I won't
you know I won't put solid away and
re-eat it the next day because it's just
soggy and gross if it's like something
else like meat or something and of
course I will put it away and I will eat
it the next day but um salads I just oh
I can't do I can't do loved or salads
you need any nail um so yeah it was but
it was an amazing dinner and then for
breakfast I just I had my breakfast
sandwich and then for lunch
I really didn't eat like an actual lunch
I more or less just kind of snacked for
lunch which I had a beef jerky stick
and I have like a little handful of my
peanut crackers and that was my lunch I
just because I was so tired that I I
really didn't have an appetite I wanted
to sleep more than I wanted to eat so
and then Ollie surprised me when brought
me a Dutch brothers tea I loved him so
much I was just like thank you baby I
need it today so yeah that was how my
day went I am really hoping you guys all
had an amazing day and tomorrow like I
said is a whole new day it's new fresh
starts and that's always what's the best
um I want to apologize yesterday I
forgot to announce the winner of the box
for the giveaway the the winner knows
and everybody else knows that was on the
life but if you didn't watch the live
you wouldn't have known who won the
actual giveaway and I didn't say it
yesterday on my my video and I meant to
and I got ten I was like oh crap oops my
light just went out oh wow um I was just
like oh no I completely forgot to
announce who I had won it so everybody
knows so there was a little oopsie
oopsie that happened
the winner was April day aka cat lady
and so but before April was called Miss
Molly was called during that time I was
having some technical difficulties with
my phone I guess and the the connection
and everything was lagging really bad
and everybody was telling me that it was
lagging and I guess when I called her it
wasn't going through and I seen the
message after I got off she was like I'm
here I'm here I'm here
so she was trying to get in you know and
notice but for some reason because the
lagging of the conversation I didn't get
even half of your guys's comments until
about an hour after our life then all
the comments came through I don't know
what happened but Miss Molly was
originally the first winner and
I want to honor that because you know
things happen life happens and you know
I she was there she was on chat so I
felt really bad because it was it was
completely my fault because of the
technical problems and the internet
connection and so I had moved on from
Miss Molly and drew another name which
was cat lady and so because of that I'm
gonna make it right because Miss Molly
was there and I think that that's only
fair that she gets to win her her prize
too so we actually had two winners this
time which is great gives more for me to
give away more and so I have cat lady's
Fox foot away and I also have Miss
Molly's box put away and I'm getting
ready to get those loaded up and shipped
out I am so so so so so excited for them
to get their boxes and also I had also
mentioned that I'm gonna be changing
things around for the next giveaway it's
gonna make things so much easier so
instead of doing where you have to be
live because I understand that life
happens you some of you guys were stuck
at work some of you guys couldn't get on
some of you guys the connection was
horrible and that's not fair to
everybody so to make it fair for
everybody I think that the best thing to
do is I am gonna be live and I will do a
live drawing but you don't have to be
live if you get called but here's the
thing if you want to be placed into the
next drawing excuse me when the drawing
is announced so there's nothing you have
to do right now when it's time to do the
next drawing the next giveaway what I
will have you guys do at that time is
email me because my email is down in the
description box email me your name
that's it I don't need addresses I don't
mean nothing else just your name on
email
what I'm going to do is I will take
those names and that's what I'm gonna
use to put into the the box for the
drawing once that is done and I call the
name I will immediately go into that
email after the live is closed I will
immediately go into that email and
message you're the winner that way then
they can message me back with their
address and all of that so that I can
get that box up and going but I will
already have your email so there will be
no way of somebody's you know breaking
in and saying oh I'm the winner it's me
I'm Sara and really the real Sara is
over here and so there's none of that
gonna happen because I already have
everybody's emails that wants to be put
into the drawing so that's I think gonna
be the easiest way and that way then if
just say a Sara or whoever isn't able to
be on live at least she's still not
gonna miss out on her box because I
don't want anybody to miss out it really
made me feel bad it really tore me up
when I seen that message from Miss Molly
and I thought oh my god she was on and
because of the lagging she lost out and
that's not fair and I would never do
that to anybody so I don't want that to
ever happen again but I also don't want
someone to come in and take a prize from
somebody because they make a fake
account under somebody's name which
would been the winner and get the the
prize and the winner doesn't get the
price because the scammer got the price
does that make sense
so that's what that's the new thing that
I'm gonna do but that will be when I go
to give that do the next giveaway which
won't be too long from now because I'm
really enjoying the giveaways I love
doing this for you guys it's all day I
love giving that's like my what is that
like your love language I think that's
what it's called
is giving I give I mean you could ask
like my husband I give to show that I
love I give ice I do service I do things
because that's how I show my love so for
me to be able to give you guys a chance
to receive something from me it makes me
so overjoyed because I
to show my love to you guys in that way
just like I would for anybody that truly
was here in my presence that I do the
same thing because all of you guys like

able to show my gratitude my love my
appreciation to you guys is by able to

feel good so there will be another
giveaway here really soon I'm just
working on how I want to do you know
like what kind of giveaway this coming
