So this is the third time I have sat down to write this. First time, my iPad had to be plugged in to charge. Second, I had to put the chicken nuggets in the oven for TALKSALOT because she only eats nuggets and peanut butter sandwiches. She didn't want a peanut butter sandwich because she doesn't want to make it. Why? Because she is too lazy. That is her answer when you ask her why. Smh. Anyway, I accomplished something major today! So I needed energy for this thing I did so I got out the big guns, my essential oils (not a crazy oil lady). I took a Nitro (like an energy shot), a shot of a Ninxia Red (also for energy), used the oils En-R-Gee and Motivation. Like I said....the big guns. Anyway, I cleaned off our kitchen table! Yes, that's the big major accomplishment. Well I know what you are thinking....yours stays clean. But mine has been a storage unit for.... I dunno, 5 years or so? We stored stuff on, around, and under the table. Yes, I am admitting to it because it's no longer that way. The only thing left is my (never used) sewing machine. This is a huge accomplishment! I got it done even though I had to stop every few minutes because TINYDANCER was upset that she was on the other side of the gate. She thought she was in toy jail. Here is the after, because the before was just embarrassing!
Oh and guess what else!! I took a bath. Yep, a bath. I let the kids find something to watch and took off as fast as I could. I HAD to bathe. I drive a big yellow vehicle to school and back everyday and it
gets hot....and i smelled like a 12 year old boy. It HAD to be done! Anyway, I got to read 3 pages of a book while the tub filled before I had to get out for a major crisis. The book I was reading was one that came out from under the table. It is called "I Was A Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids." It made me feel better because the book starts with saying all moms are losing it. None feel like they have it together. And the authors actually call each other at 4pm every day to vent. I have a friend I can do that with. Just call and say, "you won't believe....." No judgement. She has no judgement over my storage unit in, no that was in, the corner of my kitchen. No judgement that I haven't showered in 2-3 days. No judgement that my hair is a mess 24/7 and I may or may not have brushed it. The thing I need to remember is that after I vent, I need to start being positive. I guess I need to quit responding to ,"how are you doing?" With the answer, "tired!" I'm sure people know that. I am going to start finding a new positive quote everyday to remind me to be positive and not dwell on the negative. Here is today's!
