The best way to approve 194 timecards, most of whom make WAY more money than I do, is with a tall glass of wine. 😭🍷 https://www.instagram.com/p/B87-Y8ZFFaZFU_Yn687hdpXQ0vhjLyb4t2PqmU0/?igshid=z795mmamgeeu

Today talking to my sisters... Me: I feel like getting cute and going out. Me (immediately): Who am I kidding? Where am I going and am I still going to want to be there when I get there? https://www.instagram.com/p/B84zaTenrds4o54jOYfR8Y7YGOQbGkjMXVPUY40/?igshid=dq535awfkjlk

There is no sleeping in on the weekends. 9am bowling and breakfast. https://www.instagram.com/p/B84EeUfn9ywRuzU_PqsCFykH9LDRVJkrCk2A_E0/?igshid=hbgegjtc6jik

I'm a day late, but I still have something to say!! 10 years ago, I went to check on a new friend in labor (@cubanakiss). Mainly because @deerochel and @mrs_ike87 were asking me ridiculous questions about what constitutes clear liquids (not cream of chicken soup), but also because I wanted to make sure she was all good. Somehow @mrs_ike87 and I got trapped in the room with @cubanakiss and @quehampton when it all started to go down. After lots of crying and yelling (from @mrs_ike87) I got to see this beautiful baby boy come into the world. Quanell has held a special place in my heart ever since. The amount of "just in case Quanell is coming over..." stuff I've tried to keep at my place. The amount of places we took this child, including the ones we learned we couldn't. Accidentally teaching him cuss words. Instruments. Dance parties. Quanell was my first tiny "roll dawg". @kingboom214 to the kid who cried with me when I had to give Shadow away. I love you so much. I am so proud of the young man you are growing to be. It has been an honor to be a part of your life and I am SO happy I got trapped in that room 10 years ago. I hope yesterday was amazing and that you're having a wonderful time tonight. Happy Belated Birthday #thisismyfavoritephotoofus https://www.instagram.com/p/B8nUPCnlxUdgriff6zr2o9qt8o_aKpwCrwyAkc0/?igshid=11pikkxo4xh0f

#pettyparenting Riley reads at a 4th grade level. He gets extremely frustrated when people limit his reading to typical kindergartener level books. Riley also has taken to taking an hour to get ready for bed. I'm tired of fussing and nagging. So fine, you wanna take an hour to get ready, you can read preschool books for bed. #goodnightsir https://www.instagram.com/p/B8fdFNRHR1T75VgpN1UrdWp0qXcVX8kkCR1B2A0/?igshid=k1fdirn2u6mi

I don't know why, but this is how I walk around when I get home from work. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8fXLrPHITJwjHwBJ26XXB8BNinbPdOYZ1oWJ40/?igshid=x8cs3wexjz19

I had the flu. Riley had the flu. I have been IN the house with myself, my toddler, and my mother for a full week. Yesterday, I finally lost it. I was over it all. The bickering. The restless nights. Grinning and bearing it. I am single-parenting the 3 of us. And I am human. I did not apologize for my tears. I did not apologize for my frustration. I DID ask to be heard and in turn I took the time to listen to their frustrations. Tomorrow we return to "normal". So, I'm going to sit in my corner. Sip what's in my cup. And talk to my sisters. They have been my rock this week. Them, who always have my back. My work wife who can always make me laugh. And my sister from another mister Amy who sent me fat happy baby pictures nonstop. #wishmeluck https://www.instagram.com/p/B8XiuUIHpyjGfqXqaC_08qmkCwjasILBbO1cYk0/?igshid=1cv4hui6xc3t2

Homework standoff. Being home with the flu doesn't mean we aren't doing homework. It also doesn't mean I'm doing it for him. So, we will sit here until it gets done. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SfW3EnPHVrRYVlxuEld6KsycmSz3GGjsJFtQ0/?igshid=a7bkiq5qcf3y

I don't know why I'm playing with this little boy. He is controlling 5 of these players. And then me. He keeps trading with himself. #imfinnago https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MjOPpnwAid9d5j16iU6eUrGO8tIL6AgsJlyo0/?igshid=wda5zdis23l2

While DeCosta was a dad to this girl, he was not a #girldad. 3 boys proceeded me. But as a girl that lost her father early in life... My heart is hurting for their loss. I know what that can do in the moment and in the long run. My prayers are with these families as the loss of all 9 lives are mourned and grieved. But I have an additional prayer for all of the children that lost a parent last week. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8C9NHSHmXxd85cin4B-nKRO0aBxSiLvJj1TYg0/?igshid=16xah3bclv4mk

I had to take Sudafed, my inhaler, migraine medication, cough drops, cough suppressant, AND put emergen-c in my medicine ball. But we made it to bowling. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8B_ynznSkKnljg5nP1BzSJP0wLJrUwJBkL03A0/?igshid=2ekjclpln4kq

Sometimes you have to multitask. It's important that my family has a homecooked meal most days, it's also important that I be available to help Riley with his homework. Solution: Bring Riley's homework into the kitchen. https://www.instagram.com/p/B714TrMnm-c-uNpsfrhCwOToAjtBZUf9sm_8Yk0/?igshid=10futknuitg55
