I’m back, bitches!

Its been about six years since my last blog post. Wow. A lot has changed since. Back then I was a stay at home mom. Everything revolved around my kids, which honestly isn’t healthy for a mom. We need our own identity and to do the things that we love. Things that help us recharge our own batteries. Sure, my life still revolves around my kids, I live for those butt-heads. An important lesson I have learned in the last six years is… you need to know who you are. You need to figure out the things you love. The things that make you who you are. Sometimes when you learn new things about yourself, you grow and change.

In a way earlier blog post, I talked about my Dad committing suicide. That was a life changing (duh) moment for me. I realized life was short and unpredictable. It made me see the big picture and reevaluate some of the things I wanted from this life.

To make a long story super short- I now needed to find a job because I was a stay at home mom now going through a divorce. I needed to find a place to live all while trying to be a good mom to my kids. Stress levels were at an all time high and I sometimes felt like a bomb, ready to explode at any second. Sometimes I did.

Fast forward! It is 2017 and a long time friend of mine, turned boyfriend and I were moving in together. We had been together for 3 years. The kids adored him.

Fast forward! It is now 2020 and god damn what a year it has been! I don’t think there are many people who can say they have lived through 2020 without losing a loved one, losing their job, getting sick, etc. Anything heart breaking and we’ve all been touched by it this year.

This was an unplanned post. I guess a quick overview of the last six years for me. I left a lot of major details out but I plan to talk about some of them in upcoming posts.

I will say, I am a completely different person from when I created this blog. I’ve become stronger, smarter (or more of a sassy smart mouth.) I have felt loss and great love. I have learned and damn I’ve packed on a few pounds. My kids have grown also. Teaching and guiding them through this crazy life has been interesting and fun. I hope you stay tuned for more posts.

Quick side note: Facebook informed me that I created this blog on 10/18/2013. Today’s date, 10/17/2020. Coincidence? Nah.
