You really do have to apologize to yourself & keep moving. We spend too much time punishing ourselves for things.

I am so sad 😞

[middwestbloom]

I feel absolutely no guilt or regret for letting him go. I really think he was ready and was trying to hold on for us. But he was my baby for 10 freaking years. When Corey was active duty and gone all of the time, when I would get up in the middle of the night with my babies, he was there. Right next to me always. Whew it hurts so bad. I knew it would hurt when the time came, but I didn't know it would hurt like this 😔

We lost our dog tonight and man, this really is some of the worst pain I have ever felt. Like a piece of my heart is just gone. He was 12, we had him for 10 years. Literally my first baby 😔

He went downhill out of nowhere super fast the last week and even though we knew what was coming, it was still awful. My kids are so sad. My husband is so sad. Just truly such an awful thing to have happened 😞 He was the best boy. I will miss him so so much

For the first time ever, I messaged a stylist after getting my hair done to tell her I don't like it and would like something different 🙃 We were shooting for very dark brunette, but it looks straight up black on my hair and I dontttttt like it at all. I sat with it for a few days (got it done on Saturday) and decided today I want it fixed. She knew it was darker than we were shooting for and told me to reach out if I decided I didn't like it! And I've been going to her for YEARS so it's not like she doesn't know I love her!

But YIKES I feel badddd lol

I got my ears pierced today (and my helix! So cute!) and the piercer is laughing at me and goes, "you're covered in tattoos, double nose piercings and your tragus, and you're JUST NOW getting your lobes done??" 😅

I had them pierced when I was young but had a horse trainer who wouldn't let me wear them when I rode so I took them out completely because I was a kid and got sick of dealing with it. And then I just prioritized all the "cool" stuff when I got older. But it was a funny realization to have 😅

Both of my kiddos slept in until 9 am today so the first day of school tomorrow is going to be a rude awakening 😬

For the last year, there has been huge talk about getting me on the corp finance team (I'm the regional manager right now). And when I say huge talk, I mean it's coming from everywhere - the VP, the director of operations, the corp manager. A position finally opened up and I applied, got an awesome recommendation from my boss, went through a 4 WEEK LONG interview/waiting process, only to be passed up due to time in service (the guy they gave the job to has been around longer which ehhhhhh as a manager I don't necessarily agree with time=promotion but whatever I guess). After it was all said and done the manager called me to tell me they are opening another position on the team because the guy they offered the job to "can't do everything we need him to do". But I could have. And they all know that. The job is just an extension of what I do now and I could have handled all of it. Even though I guess I can understand the reasoning for passing me up, I really don't agree with it.

So like......do I just quit out of spite now? 😂

In the 2000s you sat a kid in front of a Neopets pet page and they’d learn the fundamentals of html within the hour

I just want to sit in a dark, quiet, cold room by myself for one full day.
