Grats… today I’m struggling, that’s why I’m going to sit here now (10:17 am) until I come up with some because this is when I need to be doing this the most: 1. Sibling Secret Handshakes 🤝 (my 7 & 9-year-old #WombFruits literally just walked in and showed me theirs 🥰; I never had anything like that with any of my siblings, I must be doing something right for these two balls of love to be such beautiful souls) 2. Perseverance - I asked for help and was turned away, but I couldn't afford to let that stop me; there's too much at stake here if I did. I’m not supposed to lift heavy things due to previous injuries; I don’t discuss how I sustained them, I'm not ready to go there yet, but I’m in constant pain every day. My healing isn't just about the mental. Somehow I moved all my bedroom/home office furniture by myself. I’m sore as fuck, but I did it. I did it. 3. My teapot 🫖. I just made a fresh pot with my herbal blend (a little recipe I have, those who know, know), and it’s very comforting for me. I'm chilling myself TF out; I will not let the blues get me today. #VulnerabilityIsMySuperpower #LivingMyBestLife #LivingMyHashtags #BestFeelingEver #OneDayAtATime #RecoveryIsFreedom #IAmSober #TheyMadeMeDoIt #Gratitude #TrustTheProcess #NaturalHair #ModelFromTimeG #SomebodysMotivation #TheAnyaShow #TodayIChoose #CannabisAdvocate #MentalHealthWarrior #BlackGirlMagic #Naturalista #Blogger #BlackGirlWhoKnits #DogLover #Mother #RecoveringAddict #Human #Me (at The Show Must Go On) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7YO3yljwy/?utm_medium=tumblr

What’s on your mind? Day 1. The battle is halfway done. It’s lunchtime. I thought I was ready. I thought we were all ready. How hard could it be? We had almost two years of practice, right? My #WombFruits returned to government-mandated virtual learning today. I wasn’t ready; now, I keep thinking about all the regression I saw in my children’s learning the last time we tried this. We just started working on some of the issues created that are still impacting them now. Now I know I have to be hyper-vigilant to prevent any new problems from arising. Have I mentioned I don't have any training in teaching, let alone teaching children with specialized programming needs? I know I'm not alone in this, and I swear I started writing this to stay positive and not a rant, but I have to keep it real. This fucking sucks and I'm probably driving my babies cuckoo with my hovering. But then lunchtime came; the joy on their faces accompanied by happy squeals from getting hot dogs and fries 🌭 🍟 for lunch it brought me back to the present; the right here and now to hear “You’re the best mom in the world” over and over again because I'm serving them convenient frozen foods (made with love though 😉). I've got to run. Break time is almost over, and my WFH productivity is pretty much non-existent today, but they're stuffed; no tears have been shed, and we're all pumped to finish the day strong 💪🏾. Tomorrow, we'll tackle that when we get there. The next couple of weeks... Okay 😔 I won't do that to myself. To other parents going through it today, I'm sending all of you a little extra love 😍 and light 🔆 . #VulnerabilityIsMySuperpower #MyLifeShouldBeAMovie #LivingMyBestLife #LivingMyHashtags #BestFeelingEver #OneDayAtATime #RecoveryIsFreedom #IAmSober #TheyMadeMeDoIt #Gratitude #TrustTheProcess #ModelFromTimeG #SomebodysMotivation #IAmSoberAppAmbassador #IJustBeMindingMyBloodclaatBusiness #TheAnyaShow #MentalHealthWarrior #CPTSDWarrior #BeYourOwnMeme #HealingIsTheNewBlack #CannabisAdvocate #BlackGirlMagic #BlackGirlInTherapy #Naturalista #Blogger #DogLover #Mother #RecoveringAddict #Human (at The Show Must Go On) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYW5EFTut_u/?utm_medium=tumblr
