Carpe... something.... Mondays suck

I think we can all agree that motivation on a Monday is a rare thing to come across and the little bit that you can muster for the day must be spread between work and home.  For quite some time now, I've been blissfully ignorant with home life and not getting much accomplished after arriving home from my ridiculous days.  Today, I clocked out after 8.5 hours and headed home to get some shit done.

And I did!

I really did.

I learn new things about myself all the time, but I already know that the moment my ass makes a connection with the couch -- that's it.  I'm literally done for the day and doing nothing more with myself.  Chances are also high that I'm in my sweatpants when this occurs.

Behold.  Today I came home and did laundry (lots of it) and got dinner together, made coffee for the morning and *gasp* may even clean the bathrooms.  I fully realize how sad it is that I"m excited about accomplishing so little, but yesterday pretty much didn't happen for me.  I sat/laid around all day with a stomach ache and overall laziness.  In short, I had to catch myself up for being such a pile of shit yesterday.

This weekend will be equally busy so I really need to keep it together and accomplish things during the week.  Saturday morning/afternoon we'll be busy packing and moving two of my classrooms at work and what not.  I say what not because nothing ever goes to plan with this crap and who knows what we'll actually have to deal with upon arrival.  That evening we're headed to South Milwaukee (what.  what.) to celebrate my aunt & uncle's 30th wedding anniversary.  Seriously?  30 years?  They must have a poop bathroom.  Congratulations to them -- I can't wait to celebrate their love and marriage this weekend with all of our family.

There's a slight chance we'll be back at work on Sunday with the packing and moving and such as the rooms need to be ready by Monday so I can open the center as a fabulous infant toddler two center!  Woo!  Anyone bored this weekend should call me.  Donate your time and talents.  Be a team player.  I may be willing to thank people with adult beverages if it keeps me from having to be at work 7 days this week.  Mull that over all of you do-gooders and let me know.

Does anyone else wish it was football season?
I can't wait to watch the Packers this season.  I'm ready.
Found this little nugget on Pinterest the other day & thought I'd share the love:

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

That time we sold our house.

Porch, Charlotte, and I are excited to share that we are moving!  If you follow us on Facebook, you know that we put our house up for sale on Thursday.  By Saturday afternoon, we had 3 offers on the table and we accepted!  I can't even begin to express our shock, our joy, our excitement, and our nervousness about the months ahead. We put an offer on a house closer to my new job as Charlie attends the center and being closer means that Porch can drop her off on my early shift (6am-3pm) and pick her up on my late shift (9:30-6:30pm) so Charlie isn't spending all of her waking hours in child care.  We're ridiculously excited, yet cautious. The new house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is begging for a series of updates.  There are a number of projects that await us but we're so excited to call this new place home and to make it into something that's truly ours.  A home we can grow into.  A home we can share with our family over the years and create ...
