To be honest...

I try to be patient and kind and (since watching the new Cinderella) have courage. I always try to be positive and put others first. I try to be a great listener and not talk about myself too much. I really really try... But, the fastest and most effective way to bring out my crazy and not so nice side is to ignore me. Seriously, I can’t stand that shit! 

My (not) boyfriend and I had an argument last night that was completely avoidable. I texted him after work about something and then responded “Kay.” to his response. (I meant to type “Okay.”) He took that as I was mad at him so he waited about an hour to text me again asking how my day was. I said it was fine and again, he ignored me thinking I was mad. I texted him again about an hour later saying I was going to sleep and that he was being rude for ignoring me. We fought for an hour over why he was being an inconsiderate jerk for ignoring me because (God forbid?) I might be upset with him. I was only upset with him for ignoring me (which he knows is something that pisses me off). Ugh. How old are we again?

We’re fine now by the way.

A mothers love is…

The feeling you get when you find out you’re pregnant. The feeling you get when you see them on the screen for the first time. The feeling you get when you feel them move for the first time. The feeling you get as your bump grows. The feeling you get as you count down the days. The feeling you get in your tummy when you see them for the first time. The feeling you get when you hold them close. The cuddles you have and the never wanting to let go feeling. The kisses they give to you and no matter how slobbery you wouldn’t change it. The magic of hearing “mum” for the first time. The way they look into your eyes and you don’t want anything more than to protect and keep them close forever. The entire world seems scarier than before as you have to protect them from harm. The fact you’d move heaven and earth for them, no matter what. The giggles you hear, as they find you funnier than anyone else in the world. The smiles on their face makes your heart melt. The fact you are just as irreplaceable as they are, no one will ever be them and no one else will ever be their mum. No matter how sleepless your night is, it’s worth it. No matter how naughty they are, you look at them and all is forgiven, just by looking in their eyes and feeling that “mothers love” Watching the same Tv cartoon all day, everyday. Sick days are cuddle days and work will always have to wait. Nights out turn into nights in and you wouldn’t change it.

A mothers love, is indescribable, you cannot describe it, you just feel it, whether you’re a biological mother, father, adopted mother, carer, guardian or foster mother, you’re still a mother and will feel it in your heart. It cannot be taken away.  A mothers love is perfect.

Sometimes you just have to cry.

Sometimes it takes everything to not break down from life. And sometimes, I’m just not strong enough. Being a single working mom is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I have tons of help and support from friends and family and it’s still so so difficult. 

I got the dreaded call from my sons daycare yesterday that I had to pick him up because he had a fever (104+). I broke down right there at my desk. In front of my boss. Maybe that’s why he hovered for a few minutes saying that if I needed anything all I had to do was ask. Because what else do you do when you’ve got a woman sobbing in front of you? There were many reasons for my tears yesterday: obviously the fact that my son was sick (again), the fact that I had to leave work early and couldn’t really afford to, the fact that I have to find a way to make up the hours so that I can pay my rent this month, the fact that I’m making 15/hour and am still living paycheck to paycheck, the fact that I no longer have the luxury of staying home with my son everyday, and so many more reasons. 

Sometimes the stress of life is too much and you just have to cry. Then, you pick yourself up and do what you have to do to get through the day/week/month/year.

Real Talk

I talked to one of my coworkers today about his life. He works 14 hours a day 6 days a week. Sunday’s are his only days off. He’s been living like this for well over a year. I asked him when the last time he had a girlfriend was. He said “Girlfriend? Probably college. I don’t like labels. I don’t like commitment.” I asked him if he had a “friend”. He said he did but he doesn't talk to her on weekdays. Understandable. He also doesn't always talk to her on his one day off. I said I felt sorry for her. He told me not to. That she didn't want a relationship either. And that was it. The end of our conversation.

It's amazing what a good nights sleep can do. ❤️

TMI?

At what point in a relationship is it appropriate to bring out all of the dirty skeletons in your closet? My still not boyfriend came over Monday night and we had a long conversation about his ex girlfriend and naturally he wanted to know something about my past. I couldn't give him anything specific. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather not let someone in on my life story unless they are going to stick around forever. Like, my parents don’t even know everything about me. No one knows. And I’m not ready for him to know either. I’m not sure what to say now. 

It’s a lot harder to talk about things that have happened to you rather than talking about things that you've done. Why can’t life just be all rainbows and sunshine?

Happy Monday!

I find that starting out the week with a positive attitude and a smile on my face makes for a better week. It wasn't too hard for me to do that today because I had a really great weekend! On Saturday I met my (not) boyfriend’s parents at their house for a craw fish boil. If you've never had craw fish, you are missing out. Seriously, go try some. Sooo good! I ended up spending the night. Weird, I know. But it was a really good night(: We started talking about passed relationships and commitments and what that meant to us. He actually started crying! I’m taking that as a sign that he likes me a lot and is almost ready to commit. Yesterday (Sunday) was spent meal prepping for the week. Meal prepping for me usually take about 5 hours. And that doesn't include clean up afterwards. Since I spend so much time grocery shopping and cooking on Sundays, my roommate/brother usually gets to clean up afterwards. It doesn't seem like a fair trade to me because I really enjoy cooking so it doesn't really feel like work to me. But I’m happy to not have to do the clean up.

Anyways, my hopefully soon to be boyfriend is coming over tonight to spend the night(: I’ll write more about my adult sleepovers later. Until then, have a great day! Enjoy your Monday(:

Defining The Relationship

I’m sure you have ALL been there before... But how annoying is it when you’re dating someone and they refuse to define the relationship!? How long do you have to be dating to earn a title anyways? Like, I get that you don’t need a title to be in a happy, healthy relationship. But I would rather not have to describe someone as “My friend who sleeps over and I have sex with sometimes and we like each other a lot”... And when they’re spending just as much time at my house as they are at their own, it’s probably time to define the relationship. I’m going to tell people you’re my boyfriend anyways so you might as well just accept and admit it already.

TGIF?

Good morning lovelies!

Waking up this morning was rough. Soo rough. I don’t know if it’s Spring Fever or if I am just THAT tired but my bed has been extra comfortable this week. Which is why I am SO happy that it’s FRIDAY! There’s something about knowing that I don’t have to get up, get ready and leave the apartment in the morning that helps me sleep so well. It would be so much better if my son would consider sleeping in too. But still, not having anything I HAVE to go do makes Saturday and Sunday mornings SO good(: I hope you all enjoy your Friday! I know I will!

Introductions

Hello ladies and gentlemen, My name is Anna. I have a 15 month old son named Kellen. He is perfect. We recently relocated to Dallas, TX. I started working for a construction company through a temp agency. I have a lot of free time at work so I thought I’d start a blog. Maybe I’ll do this often. Maybe I won’t. Peace and love my friends. I’m off to daycare to go pick up my son. <3
