So, I am a stay at home mom now?

Let me make one this very clear. I ALWAYS wanted to be a mom...but I NEVER wanted to be a stay at home mom. Now, there is nothing wrong with being a stay at home mom, but I never felt like it was my calling.

I wanted to work... I wanted to provide for my family. But I always wanted to be the mom that goes to PTA meetings, and helps out when needed with the teacher. I wanted to volunteer for field trips. I wanted to be all the the things my mother couldn't be because she was a single mother.

I find myself in the time when all this COVID-19 craziness is happening that I got laid off from my job. And just like that I am a stay at home mom.

I have to say, that I am really enjoying the kids at home. I am finally able to be the " fun one"! if you are a momma and daddy duo then you know... dad is the fun one.. mom is the one for rules and saying NO.

Now here I am planning fun activities for my kids and entertaining lunches-- which I always do, but I get to see them enjoy it which is so awesome.

so here i am.. an unexpected Stay at home mom... I'm not sure how long it will last for, but I'm excited for the time that I have now.

I Am On Struggle Bus.

The Struggle Is Real Out Here. I am not sure about any of my other moms( and dads) out there... but I am seriously struggling with all of this. It is not necessarily the whole quarantined thing, honestly I get it. This is all about how I feel on the inside because of this.  I love change, in fact whenever I can change something to hopefully make things better I completely embrace it. I love routine and I love to make a new system more and more productive.  Honestly, since like 2 weeks ago... I feel totally out of control of the change. I get it, no one was prepped for this, and logically this statement makes total sense... but emotionally I feel TERRIBLE .  The Mom Guilt is Real I am not Super mom and I know this, but why do I want to seem like I am?Why is everything in front of me so much more important? Why am I not giving myself the space to do the things that are important to me? What is even important to me at this time?  I mainly think it is beca...

Schools Out For The Year... Now What?

Image
Schools Out? I n the state of Pennsylvania where I live, our Governor has declared that schools will remain closed for the rest of the year... yeah.. that just happened. Not sure about you mommas out there, but I am not a teacher. I do not have the patience to teach kindergarten and 4th grade... I don't remember them at all. PLUS all the learning has changed. What used to be math is now common core math. I guess the point of common core math is to make the kids look at solving problems? I don't know... but I do know.. I am not the person to teach it. I usually think that I am a patient person, but for some reason... not when it comes to school work.. I just.. I don't have it lol. I know that the teachers and the school districts are doing their best.. I mean, no one expected a pandemic to happen-- or did you? ( just kidding) Unsung Hero's We all know that the hero's in the world right now are the healthcare system and anyone who is e...

If You See Me..

This is the face of someone who needs a break. Yes I said it... I need a break. This quarantine really has got me stressed out. Yes, I know that I am not the only one, however for this moment I am saying that.. I NEED A BREAK!  A break from my kids, my fiance, my job.. everything honestly. Also, it's totally ok to say this. NOt everything is peaches and cream right now. I just feel overwhelmed and frustrated more than ever.  This is the face of someone who has depression. Sure do have this... in fact right now is probably the worst that it has been in a long time. When Keith told me that what I think is how I am when I'm depressed is how I've been behaving regularly.. well then.. its time to get some professional help. So I made an appointment with the doctor. I am happy to report that I am on a better path and should start feeling better soon.  This the face of someone who wants more out of life. Duhh! how could I not? I'm 30 years old and of course I don't feel li...
