Another library summer! My not-so-little gal loved our first story time of the summer ☀️📚
Treated myself to a day off because…
Friday evening - went up north to visit Josh’s brother and his wife who flew up for the weekend. The same family we visited down in Florida. Great to see them, but it was a long ass night 😅
Saturday - fresh hair cut and color which takes some time, and then the long-awaited Hobbit Birthday Party for our friends!! It was beyond my expectations - they did such a wonderful job putting it all together and we met so many awesome people! And the costumes everyone had were amazing!!
Sunday - DRAG BRUNCH BITCHES!Got absolutely sloshed on mimosas and shoved dollar bills into a Drag Queen’s thong; you truly haven’t lived until you’ve done just that 🤣
I have so many things to look forward to during the day lately!
1. My book right now “PS I Like You” by Kaisie West is absolutely fire and I’d probably be done with it by now if it wasn’t for…
2. Paralives released in early access this last week! I’ve been following the development of this game since it was announced 7 years ago. It already has a community online and multiple tips and mods available. Sensational gameplay so far. Lots of bugs, but it’s literally in Early Access. I have no complaints for what it is.
3. Tomodachi Life is fine I guess. I’m finding myself getting bored tbh 😅 I made most of the Bridgertons and our family of course but then I lost all creativity 😭 I’m hoping it hits again bc that’s a game I can play upstairs with Iris since it’s on my Switch.
4. Not a current activity but still current obsession: Off Campus! I don’t see myself reading the rest of the books - I just have too many amazing books on my list I’d rather read at the moment 🤷♀️ But I’ll certainly watch the rest of them!
The only issue is that my only time to do this is at night 😩 Iris doesn’t nap anymore. So I read in bed for a while as she fell asleep next to me. Then I sneak downstairs and play Paralives. But I GOTTA get to bed at a good time bc Iris wakes up by 7 every day, sometimes earlier. So yeah, limited time to enjoy these but I am 100% enjoying them nonetheless 🤭
Today has been a hell of a day. I’m currently laying in a hotel room on the other side of the state so I can (mandatorily) attend my virtual school’s graduation tomorrow.
I’m laying here in my bed, with my book next to me that I haven’t even touched because I’m crying. Sobbing crying.
I’m crying because:
It’s an almost 3 hour drive. Every year. It’s long and exhausting. And the traffic on the east side is UNBEARABLE.
I was given an absurd amount of work to do today with 3 weeks of the school year left. I don’t know why our school accepts new students at this point in the year. But I guarantee they all of IEPs that need to be held by next week.
I didn’t get to talk to Iris before bed. I got here around 7, and then I immediately went to find some grub and some odds and ends at Walmart. I told Josh I’d be back at the hotel and could FaceTime and he never responded. They must have fallen asleep, which is fine, but I just wanted to be warned. We always plan nighttime FaceTimes before bed when he’s on work trips. So silly of me to assume.
I. Shouldn’t. Fucking. Be. HERE. A year ago at this time was when I didn’t land my dream job and was forced to spend another unbearable year here. It’s been awful. And this graduation bullshit is just the cherry on top. It’s only the high school staff, so idk, maybe I’ll ask if there’s a middle school position open or something next year.
I honestly just wanted to talk to my girl tonight. We left things kinda shitty because she didn’t want me to leave, but I had to run so I could get an unexpected blood draw at the clinic since my clotting number was way off. I’m just so fucking sad.
One of my besties is having her first baby (a little girl 🤭) literally any day now!
She was asking me some pumping and just general baby advice last night and I’m like omg hold on lemme just -
Lollll but for real all that pumping and newborn knowledge popped outta the depths of my brain 🤣 I love watching my friends become mamas 🥰
Watched the first episode of Off Campus last night (which is great bc I’ve only read The Deal so far in the series lol) and it really puts into perspective how ABSURD my little hockey romances are 🤣
And you BET I’m not gonna stop reading them or not watch their tv adaptations bc they will forever having me giggling and kicking my feet 🤭
One of my library holds is ready but I am WAIST DEEP in The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion 😍😍😍😍😍
Has anyone else read these?? They need WAY more love and attention in my opinion.
I started them 2 weeks ago and I began the 5th book last night 😆 I haven’t been this into a series in AGES. I didn’t even care about ACOTAR this much. But these???? These are going to be my personality for a while 🤭
- 4 yogurt pouches back to back
- lucky charms (marshmallows ONLY)
- salt, literally just ground salt in a cup
Follow for more of my 3 year old’s meal planning tips 🤣
Tonight’s agenda:
- Get a pizza
- Get a giant Cinnabon bun
- 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
We got STOCKED UP for the holiday weekend!
The holiday: 4/20 💅🏼🍃
Josh and I are planning to, well, do what we always do for the weekend 🤣 but then Monday night after work, and once Iris is asleep and we can sneak away, probs gonna go balls to the wall, order takeout, and watch a movie heck yeAH!
Does anyone else get online shopping/returning anxiety??? Bc I will straight up gaslight myself into feeling like something fits even if it’s too big/small just so that I don’t have to return it and wait for the new one to come. It’s so frustratinggggg…
Currently mad I need 1/2 a size bigger in these sandals I bought and telling myself they’ll stretch and I don’t even NEED them rn it’s still low 60s/high 50s in MI at the moment, but I HATE having to return things 😩
Our friends that we play DnD with, who are also married to each other, have birthdays a week apart. They’re celebrating their 30th bdays with a HOBBIT THEMED PARTY!!! With COSTUMES!!!!¡
My dream come true 🤭 Josh and I already bought our outfits and it’s not till June 😆😆😆😆
Digital cameras are back???? Honestly hell yeah.
We went out to dinner last night - we haven’t been out as a family in ages and it was so nice 🤭
There was a girl celebrating her SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY and she had her pink digital camera to take pics and all the Y2K fashion it was ADORABLE.
Like ya know what yeah let’s ditch our smartphones and enjoy each other and take pics with our digital cameras and wear cute tops with our tiny purses and be HAPPY.
We got tickets to see Bluey’s Big Play this summer and I am SO HYPED 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Thoughts and prayers or whatever you’ve got for me. Tis the season that more teachers will start resigning and hopefully open up some options for me for next school year 🤞
It was around this time last year that my DREAM position was posted, I interviewed, and they didn’t want me back.
YEAH IM STILL MAD DEAL WITH IT
You’d be pissed too if you taught at my current shit show of a school 😅 We’ve lost nearly all special education admin this year, on top of more teachers. What does that say????
This was supposed to be a placeholder, but I’m still FUCKIN HERE.
Anyway. If you live in MI, shoot me your remote job postings 🤪 I know more options will open up for me personally once Iris is in school full time, but I don’t know how much longer I can be here. I even considered moving to the middle school to escape one specific admin who makes our lives hell.
2 months left 🥲
In the words of my child: “happy Easter egg!” 🤭🐰
One thing about me is I will always continue to replenish the marshmallows in my hot cocoa as I continue to drink it 💅🏼
