Reactivated my Peloton membership and did a 30 minute ride this afternoon. Now I just have to motivate myself to wake up before the kids and workout from now on 🤪

I got so little last year and then this school year has been SO stressful and I’ve put on about 25 pounds. I’m not as big as I once was, but I’m not where I want to be. At the beginning of the year I wanted to lose 35 pounds before my 35th birthday in October so now I just have 49 to go 😅😅😅 (but also literally what the fuck happened there?!)

On another note, what are y’all reading/listening to? I listened to Heated Rivalry and Yesteryear over the weekend and enjoyed both.

If I don’t get 🍆 soon, I fear I may become everyone’s problem

Today was the last day of school! It’s time for Christmas break!

To do list:

1. Watch the Harry Potter movies. HP movies feel like winter time movies to me, idk.

2. Watch the LOTR and Hobbit movies, because duh.

3. Finish Empire of the Dawn. This series has wrecked me. The 60-ish hours I’ve listened to the series has definitely been worth it and depending on how book three ends, it could become one of my fave series.

4. Spend as much time with A and B as I can. I see them every day, yes, but I feel like I don’t get to enjoy spending time with them. I want them to feel loved and seen by me. I want them to enjoy being with me too!

5. Deep clean the house, throw stuff away, declutter, donate, yada yada. Y’all know the drill.

6. Rest. Relax. Spend time at home a with my family. Hopefully feel rejuvenated by the time school starts back. This semester has been a lot lol

It’s my birthday :)

I’ve spent the morning being serenaded by my sweet children (happy birthday while on the potty anyone? that’s motherhood lol) and eating birthday cake.

Now it’s time for a tea party and Shrek.

It’s going to be a great day!

I’ve lost 140-ish pounds in the past two years 🤪

But I started lexapro (again) today because my job is *stressing* me out so incredibly bad and now I can’t stop thinking about how I’m going to gain weight. Ugh, this brain!

Dear God,

Please please please send me a kind, soft spoken, bearded man who will say yes to my silly ideas and wants. Someone to keep me in line, keep me laughing, and keep me on my toes.

Well, the state of TN cut funding to the program that was paying for me to go back to school so it looks like this is my last semester for the foreseeable future.

Why did I decide that I wanted to go back to school in my 30s? A nursing degree wasn’t good enough and I just had to go back for teaching?? Why???

All kidding aside, classes start back tomorrow and even though I took two summer courses, it feels like fall semester is going to be harder. Idk. Maybe that’s just my nerves.

Between working all the overtime I can get, classes starting back, bills and unexpected car expenses, vacation and Christmas coming up, I feel overwhelmed. I feel like I don’t see my children enough. I don’t see my family and friends enough. I feel like I’m missing out. I miss my people.

Yall don’t know how close I am to selling feet pics 😅
