I’m Up

March 8, 2022

I finally got to bed but now I’m up. Little Bubba baby woke up crying. Probably in pain which was hard to hear. I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. So did hubby and he hurt his knee. Because we are old parents. We used teamwork to get little boy back…

Hiccups

March 8, 2022

I have hiccups. I should try to go to bed. I have hiccups. What is wrong with my head. It’s dark outside. It’s dark inside. It’s late. Baby is asleep. Why can’t I go to bed. Any excuse will do. I have hiccups.

Therapy

March 16, 2021

Therapy therapy. I have to go to therapy. Have to? Get to. Who is making me go? It’s me. I’m making me go. What will I talk about? What will I feel? Did I do my homework? How about not getting to bed on time. And I have to nurse in the morning plus just…

Your Mental Health is Worth It

April 2, 2018

  This past semester in the teaching program was rough. Like really rough. I mean this past year has been crazy with wedding planning, but it finally got to a point where I needed to get real with myself and figure out how to not feel like a nervous wreck constantly. I needed to focus…

Gold Stars and Demerits

September 20, 2017

I listen to a podcast by Gretchen Ruben called Happier, based on her book Happier and she and her sister talk about their wins and fails at the end of each podcast. They call them gold stars and demerits. I like the “gold star” because I will be an elementary teacher in a couple of years…

Dear Diary, I’m 30.

June 18, 2017

It’s been awhile, but I don’t want to waste time apologizing for my absence. It’s been weird, but freeing to not blog regularly this year. I’m 30 and I’m blogging. I’ve gotten to the point where I wish I could just start blogging over again where NO ONE was reading. When I knew no one…

Back to School at 30

July 26, 2016

Yup. I’m going back to school at 30. Okay I’m technically 29, but basically 30. I’m trying to make it more dramatic. Go with it. Back to school…back to school…to show mom and dad that I’m not a fool. Name the movie. First of all, since this is my first real post, you may be…

Kitchen Therapy

October 22, 2015

So today is Thursday, which in case you didn’t know, is a day for Thinking Out Loud. Let’s have some coffee with pumpkin fluff and chat, shall we? I’ve been struggling a bit lately with personal stuff and on one particularly rough night, I typed out a bit of prose in my phone. I was thinking…

Confessions of an Imperfect Blogger

March 19, 2015

I know you guys probably get by now that I’m not a perfect person. It’s challenging to convey this through snippets in blog posts, so oftentimes bloggers (or even friends on Facebook) come across as having the perfect life. Having it all together. Being happy all the time while crafting Pinterest-worthy meals and crafts and workouts. The…
