It's All So Peachy

I'm Laura, a twenty-two year old mother who would go to the ends of the world and back for my daughter, Kaycee Peach. Kaycee is a beautiful, itelligent and absolutely amazing six year old girl who lights up my every day. I'm in a relationship with a amazing man who has raised my daughter as his own, his name is Tony. He is my best friend, my partner in life, my rock, and has all the qualities I've ever asked for. I'm majoring in Social Work, minoring in Psychology, hoping to change the lives of teenage mothers as they embark on their journey of this thing we call motherhood. South Texas born and raised, darn proud of it. Talk to me.

29 weeks pregnant today

And I never thought it would be so great.

Although this pregnancy has brought its challenges and hurdles it is so different when you have someone to go through it all with you.

I’m beyond grateful for the support and love I have received from Tony. My girl couldn’t have gotten a better dad.

The past couple of days have been rough as my body fights off a respiratory infection I’ve had for well over week. I went to the doctor’s today for the second time in a week and finally got some antibiotics to get me back on my feet. But today has been the toughest day.

As Kaycee watched me feel like total crap she made sure to take care of her momma. She brought me my meds as I took a break in bed when I got out of work and even offered me snacks so I could “have some food”.

Tony is working late tonight and with me not feeling well she asked if she could sleep with me so she could take care of me, of course I allowed it.

So we’re laying in bed ready to go to sleep, lights off and the whole works when I feel her lift my shirt from under our blankets and place her hand on my belly. A few seconds later Baby decides to make her presence known and kicks Kaycee’s hand. The look on her face was priceless, more so when she said “I think my baby sister loves me already”. She then feel asleep just like that.

Baby sure loves you lots Kaycee Peach, we all do, more than you will ever know.

PS: Violet is that black ball behind Kaycee that joined in on this love fest too.

I lost my friend Kryztal a while back in a car accident that cost her her life. She left behind young children, unfortunately the first time I had meet them was at her funeral services. When she was on this earth we were always way too busy with work and life that us getting together with the kids just simply always had something getting in the way. And now it’s far too late for us to hang out just moms and kids. Today, I got to see her sweet sweet girl since the day of her mom’s services and nearly broke into tears and she and my daughter played. I felt pained yet overjoyed knowing Kryztal is probably smiling down from heaven while shaking her head and saying “finally”. Please ladies, I ask you to make time for your friends and the people you love. Because in a instant everyone’s life can change.

Today was a good day.

I got a new boss today and got to sit down with him and have a talk about my mental health and accommodating my work schedule due to therapy. My past two bosses were very intimidating and found depression as a silly thing making me feel like I was incompetent. Naturally when I went in to talk to my new boss I was anxious to say the least.

I left his office pleasantly surprised with our conversation. He assured me that my mental health comes first so I can do my job effectively and that he’s willing to allow me to make up time so I don’t lose on pay. He also told me that his office is always open if I want/need support and that he too suffers from anxiety. He expressed that he is impressed with how far I’ve come from the little he knows and that he offers me his best wishes.

This is something I am so grateful for.

where are those startups that are disrupting the glasses industry

[ms-demeanor]

zenni and it’s amazing and i love it 40 dollar bifocals fuck yeah

[ms-demeanor]

Hey I’m reblogging this again because if you need glasses here’s what I do:

Go to Costco/Sams Club/WalMart - wherever they’ve got that $58 eye exam. That’s with no insurance, btw. Just $58 cash on the counter, you get your eyes examined.

They’ll give you a copy of your prescription. ASK THE DOCTOR TO MEASURE YOUR PUPIL DISTANCE. If they don’t it’s not a huge deal, you just have to have a ruler around that has millimeters so you can measure it yourself and it won’t be as accurate but being off by as much as a centimeter isn’t a problem.

Make them give you a copy of your prescription - you are allowed to have this, they have to give you it, you don’t have to buy glasses there. If anyone challenges you say you need a copy for your records and you’re not going to buy glasses today.

Go to https://www.zennioptical.com/ and start looking at frames/glasses that you like. If you create an account it’ll let you upload a photo and based on your pupil distance the site will estimate how well various frames will fit you.

Add the frames you like to cart and start checking out - the checkout process will ask you for your RX details that will be written in the boxes on your RX page. It’s pretty intuitive to copy it over but if you get lost use the livechat feature on the zenni page.

Start selecting your glasses details. Your RX will determine what kind of lens you get (go with the one zenni recommends for materials and thickness) but your needs will determine the other stuff. I make sure to get the fancy oleophobic coating because I’m a slimy bog monster. I also get the cheapest pair of sunglasses possible because bog monsters hate the sun. You can get transitions lenses or anti-scratch coating or super lightweight lenses or whatever works best for you. The extras will add up in cost but you gotta do what you gotta do - my life is much better with a pair of sunglasses than it is with some clip-ons for my regular glasses; your life may be better with transitions lenses instead of carrying a second set of glasses. DO WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU.

Don’t bother paying the rush shipping, this is going to take two weeks regardless.

GLASSES ARRIVE. WEAR GLASSES.

If the fit isn’t perfect see if the place that did your eye exam will adjust the fit for you. They often will free of charge.

GLASSES. GLASSES. I CAN SEE.

PROGRESSIVE BIFOCALS THAT COST $40 WITH CUTE FRAMES AND NICE COATING.

SUNGLASSES.

FUCK

It costs less for me to get two pairs of bifocals, one tinted and one clear, with special coatings and nice frames than it would cost me to get one pair of single-vision glasses from Warby Parker.

The cheapest frames available for adults on Lenscrafter’s site is $69.95. That is JUST the frames, not the lenses. The lenses are like $200. The anti-glare coating is like $70. THE ANTI GLARE COATING IS FREE AND INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE AT ZENNI. Just the frames and the coating at lenscrafters costs more than my two pairs of glasses AND my eye exam.

I can’t articulate how many literal headaches Zenni has saved me because I just used to wear my old prescription until I had trouble keeping my eyes open from the strain. Now at the first hint of eye strain it’s like “Not today, Satan!” and I can plan for the $100 expense that’s going to last me potentially years.

There’s also polette, eyebuydirect, glasseslit, and a few other really good/cheap ones!! I’ve bought from all of them and they’re legit!

Me spending any money that's physical cash and not in my bank account total : this doesn't count as spending, it's not real. It doesn't exist

[leohearts]

Everybody isn’t your friend. Just because they hang around you and laugh with you doesn’t mean they’re for you. Just because they say they have your back, doesn’t mean they won’t stab you in it. People pretend well. Jealousy sometimes doesn’t live far. So know your circle. At the end of the day, real situations expose fake people, so pay attention.

I’m really hurt.

About a year ago one of my best friends told me she wanted me to be her maid of honor at her wedding. Fast forward to now and we’ve been closer than ever since we work at the same place and everything, she had a big health scare earlier his year which I was there for her every step of the way blah blah blah. So we’re on vacation so I haven’t seen her or really talked to her lately but a few days ago I see that she chose her wedding dress and posted a photo on snapchat captioned “dress shopping with my maid of honor” I’m completely railroaded like wtf. Then today she posts another photo “dress shopping with her bridesmaids”, hit number two. Kaycee is supposed to be one of her flower girls, I have that confirmed because I actually already even purchased the dress for her but this shit makes me want to pull her from wedding. Why should she have to take part in something I’m not included in? Why would you tell me, after over ten years of friendship that you want me in your wedding then exclude me? I feel like I’m being a total bitch but I am really feeling betrayed at this point. What a best friend I have. This is why I don’t like getting close to people and pull myself away.

Shout out to all the 20-somethings who have been told that this decade is supposed to be the prime of their lives and are instead struggling really hard.

Some of us can’t get a job, even with a college degree.

Some of us couldn’t go to college or finish college because of all the shit we’re going through, and our opportunities have been limited by that.

Some of us have jobs and still can’t afford to live.

Some of us are too broke to go out and have fun.

Some of us are too broke to settle down.

Some of us are managing mental health problems.

Some of us have disabilities that make every day tougher to get through.

Some of us are dealing with loss, grief, and disappointment.

Some of us are just now figuring out who we are and are dealing with the repercussions of finally expressing that to others.

Some of us are learning that the society we live in is functioning in a way that puts us at a huge disadvantage.

And I want you to know that you don’t have to have all the answers or know what you’re doing with your life even though there’s so much pressure to do so.

We’re being told at this point to go to college, get a job, get a house, get married, and have kids.

Some of us don’t want or can’t do any of those things, and the expectations for when or if these things are supposed to happen can feel like a giant weight on your shoulders.

There’s no one-size fits all linear path for every person.

Just take everything one day at a time and do whatever you can to ensure your own happiness regardless of what others say you should be doing.

You matter even if others make you feel like you aren’t who they want you to be.

Your life matters even if others tell you that you aren’t living it how you should be.

These may not be the best years of your life, and you may have only known struggling for all of your previous years.

I think there comes a point when you have to fight back against what you’ve been told and tell yourself that who you are and how you’re managing your life is good enough for you.
