I laid down in my sons bed this evening and he asked if I’d like to sleep in his bed tonight. I appreciated the offer, but my plush king-sized bed was calling my name as I felt the springs in his twin sized bed rearrange themselves under the weight of me. I laid in silence …
Autopilot.
I took my first shower at home today since I’ve been back. Honestly, it’s been a little overwhelming arriving home to my husband and three littles after being away and this is the first time I’ve had a moment to gather my thoughts. There were hardly any thoughts while I was in Puerto Rico, aside …
Mom.
I am blessed to have such strength, poise, confidence and gumption to learn from in my Mother. My children are equally as lucky to have such wisdom, tenacity and love to enjoy from their Oma. This evening I stood in my kitchen completely exhausted from a full day of renovation work at an investment property, …
Finally.
Today is the very last day of remote learning for my children. On Monday, they go back to school full-time. With their whole class. In person. With their real, live teacher in front of them. And their classmates beside them. Finally. Finally. An entire YEAR of learning disrupted by a global virus. An entire year …
Grandmom.
I hadn’t sung in public for probably 10 years when my 95 year old paternal Grandmother passed away two years ago in February of 2019. It was undoubtedly a hard day. I know exactly where I was standing, who I was with, and I’ll see the photos we took that day at the Butterfly Place …
A House or a Home?
I am a real estate agent. I’d like to start there, because that statement brings on a lot of preconceived notions. Some are true, and some are not. It is true that I see a lot of houses. Like, SO MANY HOUSES. All the time. Many houses. So many friggan houses you guys. I’m blessed …
32.
For my 32nd birthday, the universe gifted me a new freckle. Or a mole. It’s probably a mole according to google, but freckle sounds cuter so we’ll stick with that. I haven’t been excited for a birthday in a couple of years. I was so excited for my 30th birthday that we booked a trip …
Dancing in the rain.
Surprise! We’ve got Covid. A person thought it would be ok to come INTO OUR HOME after coming into contact with an individual whose father tested positive. Of course, the guy who came into our home thought he did the right thing by getting tested, and the gentleman whose father was positive was also tested. …
Two.
Confession: I can’t f*cking stand my son. To be clear, he’s two. Ugh. The kid wakes up before the sun rises every day. Demands Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. AND the iPad. Both. He wants two screens cause one isn’t good enough for this psychopath. He demands orange juice. Or milk. Or both, or more specifically, whichever …
Pandemic Tired.
Y’all. I’m tired. And I miss writing. I miss writing so much and yet, I’m not sure what to write about. I haven’t written a blog post in months and trust me, I wish I had, and I need to write. So I sit here wondering what monumental thing has happened lately and I realize …
