hello summer

Well in 6 days its officially here! 🙌 sweet summer time. The joys of screaming kids 24/7, highs in the 200s, my skinny fat self in a swimsuit roasting like a dehydrated pig in the sun, & absolutely no sleeping in. Ah yes, summer.

I'm in the process of getting nates therapy scheduled, amirahs swim team and guitar lessons on the schedule, rescue work on the ccalendar, sessions booked, vbs, library days, etc. We will be productive this summer. Well that's my goal.

I'm a member at the Y and absolutely love it. Yoga is my favorite. I wish I had time to try other stuff but I am constantly busy with something else or nobody to watch my well behaved kids.haha! So I'm creating a home fitness area at home. I'm pretty excited about it. I'll update on IG my daily workouts and whatnot. My goal is to get fit and feel good.

I've taken soda out of my diet completely. It was hard at first but now I don't even crave it. I do however have my coffee. 👍 and I'm a sucker for sweets. Starbucks has a deeeeelish flower sugar cookie that I am ever so in love with.

My high school reunion is approaching. Everyone is ecstatic to go but I'll be skipping this one. I wasn't fond of my highschool nor do I have the best memories there. I keep up with those I know on Facebook. I have had some friendships lost over the past year. Some I feel refreshed and better about whereas others...I miss. It hasn't hit me until recently. I don't blame them. I think we just had a major fall out and couldn't recover from it. I often wonder if our friendship will reconnect. There are things that make me think of them and question what ridiculous mess brought us to where we are. I was looking at my Time hop and noticing how much I've changed in 4 years. I'm sure 4 years from now I will have matured more. Idk...just rambling. I don't seek pity or woe is me. The other party may be feeling completely opposite and that's understandable. I just miss them and smile at the memories we had.

We're painting the house. Its coming along well. Colors...blue, yellow, gray. I'm iffy on the yellow I chose but its growing on me. Trying to decide if I should refinish the kitchen table and living coffee table. Pinterest is not helping as I want what I can't afford. Lol

Maya Angelou passed. So incredibly heartbreaking. She was a phenomenal writer. What saddens me more is how many people do not know who she is or recognize her writings. Thats just devastating. She inspired so many and my heart aches for those who have never enjoyed her work. They have truly missed out.

Oh remember "spongebob" the pineapple? He's rotting. 😂😩🍍
We're going to have to trade him out here soon. Lol

Well I have a kid to chase and more painting to catch up on. Hopefully my phone will let me upload pictures faster next time. Rambling blog today. :P

Follow me on IG to track my fitness and keep me motivated!
