Birthday

I am 33 today! 🥳 I came home after work and got some hot coffee in my new cup that my son picked out for me, and worked out on my row machine.

I have to say though, the best part of today was when a fellow co-worker thought I was younger than her; she’s 26. 🤔🤭🤫

Work

I really hate when you work hard and do your job, but the ones who don’t get you in trouble. Why does it feel like good does not always prevail? Where is the justice?

Book writing

I am currently embarking on trying something new; writing a book. This is exciting but also terrifying. What if it is rejected? What if it is a hit? What if this one book is all I can write?

So many questions.

I’m going to keep persevering and get this finished.

What’s even better than 1 snow day? 2!!!

Work is closed again tomorrow due to inclement weather. Am I excited? Most definitely! Does it suck not getting 2 full weeks of pay? Yes, but sometimes a break is needed. 

I am looking forward to being home, wearing PJs again, and sipping on coffee. I may even feel giddy enough to fold some laundry!

A fire, pjs, and fleece robe kind of day

It’s snowing outside, schools are closed tomorrow, and I don’t have to work. I don’t plan on wearing anything more than my pajamas and fleece robe, along with my fuzzy unicorn slippers. It’s a lazy kind of day!

Why can’t everyday be a weekend?

Life lesson: Go to college

I graduated high school in 2004 and I thought I had it all figured out. Little did I know that life was going to teach me a HUGE lesson. 

I was 18 and I figured I would take a year off from college; find myself. During the time I was “finding myself” I worked various minimum wage jobs. As time passed I kept telling myself let’s hold off on college for a few more months. Well, those months turned into more years. 

Here I am 32 years old, married, and have 4 kids and I am just now working on my Associate’s degree to become a certified pharmacy technician. 

Going to school full time, raising my kids, working, and making ends meet is a lot for one person to try and manage daily. 

My advice to you is that it is better to just go on and get your college degree. You are young and nothing is holding you down. Go on and achieve your career. 

You may say “oh it’s just one year. I will not be like her and not go back.” You will be surprised at how easy it is to just keep putting it off time and time again. 

I guess we can say that the life lesson is that life happens. It happens quickly. Sort of just sneaks up on you like a stalker! 

Seriously, though, get your college degree while you are young.

Life lesson on love

One lesson that life taught me was that no matter how much you love a man, he may never love you with all of his heart. This was a tough lesson. 

I met a guy when I was 17 years old and I was wrapped up in him. He was the one thing I thought about when I woke up and the one thing I thought about before I went to sleep. It’s safe to say that I pretty much lived and breathed for him. I mean, being 17 and being in love is quite an exciting time. However, I shouldn’t have distanced myself from all of my friends for love. 

I say that because he and I ended up having 3 kids together, and it felt like one day he just woke up and decided we needed to separate. I fell apart. It was like all the air in my lungs had been removed. I felt suffocated. I had no one to turn to. I hadn’t talked to any of my friends in years. Were we even still friends?

It was scary being alone with 3 small kids. I had never really been alone. I decided to take a PCA class and by some miracle, a person I had known since kindergarten was in the class with me. She and I made small talk that whole week and exchanged phone numbers. We got to know each other again and became best friends. She and I took my kids and her son everywhere. She became “my person” (grey’s anatomy). I had a friend I could rely on. I had someone who helped me hold my head above water during the divorce. 

So, life taught me to not let my friends go just because I am in love. Hold onto your friends; you may need them to hold you upright. Love would never ask you to isolate yourself. That was a hard life lesson.

This says a lot about me.

One life lesson

One life lesson I have learned is that not everyone is going to like you, and that’s okay. 

Not everyone is going to like the way your hair looks. 

Not everyone is going to like the clothes you wear. 

Not everyone is going to get your personality. 

Not everyone is going to like the way you look. 

Not everyone is going to like the way you clean your house. 

The bottom line is, as long as you like yourself and know your self-worth then fuck everyone else’s opinion. Be You. Be Happy.

Motherhood moments

It has been 13 years since:

1. I have gone to the bathroom alone. 

2. I have taken a shower without someone else being in the room with me.

3. I haven’t had to yell “hey, cut that out right now”. 

4. I haven’t run late every morning. 

5. I have had to fight the battle of my kids not wanting to go to school. 

6. I have slept a full 8 hours. 

7. I haven’t been dependent on coffee. 

8. I haven’t felt like breaking down from stress. 

9. I haven’t heard “Mom” 2000 times a day. 

10. I haven’t hidden myself to eat the last candy bar while my kids are home. 

11. A trip to the grocery store wasn’t a mini vacation. 

12. I was fearless. 

13. I was without grey hairs. 

And that is okay. A little chaos never hurt anyone. It has been 13 years since I’ve done or felt some things, but I wouldn’t change it for anything.

College exams

I have my first Pharmacy exam due this coming week. To be more specific I can take it tomorrow or Tuesday. I am so freaking nervous! I do have a great instructor, but I am still shaking in my boots. 

I want to do well and pass with an A. That is my goal. Am I an overachiever? Yes. Do I overthink? Yes. Overthinkers have a rough time with tests, I think. I know I do. 

Anyone else in college? How do you cope with exams? What helps calm your nerves?
