Happy Mother's Day

Today is a very special day to all Mama's out there. Whether you're a fur baby mama, or a mama who has felt loss, you are just as important in this day dedicated to mother's. Mother's come in all different forms. They aren't always biological because that doesn't automatically make you a mother. A mom is selfless, caring, supportive, worrier, cheerleader, enforcer, loving, and so many more adjectives. But not a single word that describes what being a mom is says it's genetic.

Mom's wear all sorts of hats and walk down different paths. For me, today marks the 4th year I've been able to celebrate being a mom to my Miss K. Although she isn't old enough to really understand what today is all about, she was able to spend it with my mom!

This is a shout-out to all the Mama's out there who had to work to help serve others so they could enjoy his day with their families and mother's. I am one of those mom's who worked today to help make mother's day special for other mom's. While I wish I could have spent my day in bed getting pampered and maybe a nap, I'm happy to show Miss K what hard work looks like. Because it's not always about only doing the things you want, but doing the things that are necessary and that are sometimes not so high up on the fun list.

I am thankful for my mom and dad who helped K pick out flowers to give me to acknowledge this Mother's Day. Without them, it would be just another day.

Being a mom, let alone a single mom, is one of the most difficult and thankless jobs in the world. While I wouldn't change being a mom for anything, I do wish this whole parenting thing came with a book! I am far from being perfect and I find myself thinking, more times than not, that I have no idea what I'm doing. Regardless of not being perfect and feeling like a hot mess 99% of the time, one day it will all pay off. It's not just about someday, those days are happening now. Evey day she surprises me with how much she knows.

Just this weekend, she helped her papa put ice on his arm after getting his skin pinched in a compound bow. Apparently, my anatomy lessons and first aid is paying off. Her curiosity amazes me and how quickly her vocabulary changes.

I may want to scream and lock myself in my car and turn up music just a little too loud, but it's all worth it. My hair may fall out in chunks when I'm stressed out, but it's worth it. I may have too many nights with not enough sleep, but it's worth it. It's worth it to see this little human become a little adult.

There are some things in life that don't make sense but being a mom is not  a one if those things. Because being a mom might not be the easiest job, but I couldn't be happier to be a mom, especially Miss Ks mom.

But one thing is for sure, I couldn't be a mom if it wasn't for my own mom. Thanks Mom for always being in my corner and being such a great role model. I wouldn't be as strong of a woman if it wasn't for you.  Love you!

Happy Mother's Day xoxox

I've Got This

I've been silent for quite some time from this blog. At times I don't always know what to say and don't always want to have negative things going on to write about. However, at the same time I am so tired of having to be fake and being "OK" all the time. I'm not perfect, and I'm doing better. Some days are better than others and some days are even great. I'm so happy at where I am at these days and I am feeling so accomplished for so many things. At the same time, there are days where I feel like I'm thrown back and have to face everything head on all over again. I'm learning that my former extended family doesn't belong to me any more, especially now that there is another girl in A's life. I need to allow for her and A and his family to start their own memories and start developing whatever relationship is going to happen. I absolutely adore them and will always care about them. Seeing pictures of the lake, and the pontoon makes me m...

Catching up

It's been awhile since my last post but life has seen to be keeping me busy. The holidays were fine as usual and I was able to celebrate with a few friends. I still can't remember to write 2016 on my checks. I'm getting into the groove of teaching 3 classes a week at Vital Fit Club, which Racquetball Plus. My life has literally come in full circle. Because of how everything ended in my last communications position I've decided to look at new career options.  My self-esteem is so low on being able to complete anything correctly I just need to find my new niche. Every year in January I always ask myself why I live here in Minnesota, where winter is half the year!?! Oh well. Someday I will live in a warm state. If I try some spiralizing I will post pictures. Hope everyone has a great week and take a few minutes each day to reflect, center your body, and take a few relaxing breaths. 🎎

End of the Year Wrap Up

If I gave myself a dollar for every time I said, "Wow, time really flies by!" I'd likely have my student loans paid off. I haven't written a post in over 6 months, since my last post was June 11th. But once again, I have been busy...because who isn't!?! No excuses, but I have held back a little bit due to my new position and getting the feel for my new digs, new location, new job, new friends, new routine and all that jazz. Well, if you hadn't figured it out by now, shortly after my last post I was offered and accepted a position teaching full-time health. Exciting right!?! It was. It was absolutely the most amazing thing to ever experience hearing over the phone, we would like to offer you a position. It is even more amazing when you get the offer the same day of the interview, and even better when you left the interviewing thinking to yourself, this is where I need to be. This is where my career should begin. In my previous post "Where Have I been...
