Female Realist

Clinically diagnosed realist. You will get the real stuff here. And stuff about my dogs, Bella and Z. I've had WLS and got healthy. I like to run.

One of the hardest parts of having to live out my injury is missing races I had planned to run. This year though, I get the opportunity to do for my daughter what I know my mom would do for me if she were able. Tomorrow, my baby girl will be running in my place at the Cowtown 10K. I cannot wait to be at the finish line yelling and cheering for her as she receives her medal. #running #cowtown10k #familygoals #babygirl #healthylife (at Will Rogers Coliseum)

One day closer to getting back to normal. Trial run to work this afternoon sure did lift my spirits. Icing the shoulder and getting ready for PT. Not gonna lie, anxiety is high but I GOT THIS! (at Little Elm, Texas)

Wonderful dinner with my first born. I don't know how time flies so fast and suddenly my baby is 26. #myson #birthdayboy #sushi #lovesushi (at I Love Sushi)

Happy 26th birthday to the one who made me a mom. Thank you for always being my test child. I couldn't have asked for a better first child/son/brother for the other kids. I love the laughter and humor you bring to our family. Your gentle soul is something I've seen from you since your first breath. I'm incredibly proud of you and am excited for the future. You have persevered and fought some tough battles and have come through continuing to be your own amazing person. I can't wait to see you tonight, hug your neck and celebrate another year of your life. I love you to the moon and back! #sushi #birthday #birthdayboy #myson

I can tell my little squirly bird is getting old. He is slowly not becoming a fan of the stairs and constantly going down them to go outside. I had to sit at the bottom to get him to come down today. I mean, clearly he is my grumpy old man. Look at that face. #grumpypug #z #stubbornpug #stubborndog #stilllovehim #pugsnotdrugs #pugsofinstagram #puglove #pugsrock (at Little Elm, Texas)

Always worth the challenge of getting ready when I get to hang out with my baby girl for a few hours. #babygirl #recovery #icanandiwill (at Fuzzy's Taco Shop)

Survived night one. Best purchase ever for the pugs. With me needing to be in the recliner downstairs, they are able to see me and know I'm close by. ❤️❤️🐶🐶 #pugsnotdrugs #puglife #pugstagram #pugs #puglove (at Little Elm, Texas)
