Sticky Notes

I am a person who lives off of many lists. I have sticky notes everywhere, and if I don’t have it written on a physical list, I will text myself so I won’t forget what it is that I need to write down later on. That’s what happens when you are a single mom of three growing kids, running a full time business, and are a full time college student yourself. 

I have had “Update Website” written on the top of my list for so very long, but there have been so many things that would have to get done first, and any free time I did have between work and school would leave me exhausted, and snuggling with my kids in-between. These past six months have been non-stop. I prioritized my life in the way I have wanted to for so very long, but it’s a learning process daily, and not many people have understood that, but I know it’s what is the best outcome for the future for my little family. I’m not good at asking for help, I don’t like being a burden to others, so I do it all myself. Everything.

I have no intention of anybody reading these blog posts, they are more of small inserts of progress and updates of the craziness of my life. I’ve always found healing in journalism, jotting things down, and I’ve always wanted to be able to have more of an outlet to express my journey through life. I talked to my brother once about writing a book (Ha! Who would read that?) because since I was a teen, I have endured some harrowing experiences, but honestly, who would read it? What would be the point? I really don’t speak about 95% of my life, I keep to myself, I keep my circle very, very small, but I’m here to share some of my experiences now. If anyone wants to follow along, great! If not, at least I will have these to look back on.

I’ll check in as much as I can - My kids are my first priority. I am a full time college student as well, pursuing my childhood dream. This semester I am enrolled in five classes, or 15 credit hours. I am continuing to work full time hours to be sure my kiddos have the best, so time is scarce.

As always, have courage & be kind.
