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

Queens Don't

I feel like I have a heavy heart going into this next week of distant learning. Everything seems to come crashing down the moment I get all the plates spinning in the right direction and at the right pace. In an instant life can change. A person can call and change the entire night based on what was said. Co-parenting is really hard some times. I think the move back has helped, but I'm back in the position of where A wants to know all of my personal stuff. While I appreciate his feedback, it truly isn't his business. After being out of a relationship for almost a year, I'm ready to date again. It's not like I have people lining up outside my door asking me for my number. People are meeting online these days. I'm open, but seriously, the whole trusting part is getting the best of me. I had someone ask me if I would be happy if I never found someone  to live the rest of my life with. While that question caught me off guard, I didn't hesitate to answer; of ...

God only gives you what you can handle

Where do I begin. This summer has been the best of any summer I can remember, besides the summer going into my senior year at Concordia. That was an epic summer I'll never forget. But this summer, was one for the books, in so many ways. For one, this was the first time I have had a break from school in 365 days. I took every opportunity and enjoyed my days off, not online submitting papers or reading a text book. Summer school ended at the end of June, and I pulled off 2 B's and an A.  I've always said that you meet people in your life for a reason, and I truly believe that. Over the last year I have met countless people. At different times I have questioned their motivation, but I also have embraced the opportunity to find out what their purpose is to me. Whether people stay in your life or leave, there is always a lesson learned. And then, there are those moments when you meet people and you know right away, that they will have an impact on your life, and in a goo...

Trust

Where do I even begin? I started this year off wanting to not live in the past and only live in the moment, do things for myself, and truly make this year about me and what I want. I've come to the point though where I feel I need to really break down some walls and talk about trust. I've been divorced for two years in July. I have yet to have a "real" relationship since that time. I tend to keep people at an arms length, likely because of my lack of faith and trust in people in general. I had a heart to heart with a dear friend of mine last week where I broke down into tears. You see, she and I have been friends since my divorce and she has been there for me through pretty much everything. She said I had been "off" lately and I wanted to know what she meant by that. She said she couldn't say what it was exactly, but I just didn't seem like myself. I always have a lot going on in my head, and this past month hasn't been any different. I came ...
