Summer Break!
I have submitted my final assignments for my two summer classes and now it is time to relax and enjoy summer break. Summer break is a lot different with a toddler. My first few summers as a teacher I enjoyed binge watching shows, sleeping in late, soaking up the sun, and planning for the next school year. This summer I wake up with my son, binge watch Disney movies, and entertain my little crazy man. (I finally started the new season of The Handmaid’s Tale! Before my son, I would have been waiting for the new episode every week!) This week was difficult because it was my last week of…

30 Year Crisis
I am turning 30 in June and have come to the realization that I may be having a “30 year crisis”. (Is that even a thing?) In the past year, I have started to pick up on a lot of new hobbies. (Yes, this blog is one of them BUT I have always loved to write, so writing isn’t really a new one.) Out of all my new hobbies, I haven’t really stuck to any of them. I started things while I was on maternity leave, thinking that it would be fun and maybe I could make some extra money. Well that didn’t work too well. Let me take you…

Marriage After a Baby
Everyone always says how after they had a baby, they fell even more in love with their husband. Now either they have a husband that has been around babies their whole life OR they are the biggest liars I have ever met in my life! Now don’t take this the wrong way, but after having my son, there were more days than not that I wanted to strangle my husband. First of all, his nipples are useless!! During those LONG nights of nursing I would get so frustrated with sleeping beauty on the couch! (I made him sleep on the couch because I couldn’t fall back asleep with his loud…

The loss of a fur baby
It has been one week since my fur baby passed away. My heart feels like a piece is missing. Dante was only 8.5 years old but he had so many health issues. I never thought it would be this hard to lose a pet but my goodness, I’ve been a wreck. Dante was born July 21, 2010 and he became part of my family on October 12, 2010. This little ball of fur was the most obnoxious puppy ever! He had it out for me, I swear! The first few months were the worst. Luckily, when I felt I couldn’t take him anymore, my mom said we were keeping him…

Growing up with undiagnosed A.D.D
I was not diagnosed with A.D.D until the age of 22. Before this diagnosis, I was told I had depression and anxiety. One day when I was talking to my therapist, she asked me to take a short self-evaluation to see if I had A.D.H.D. While taking the test, I had so many AHA moments. It was hard for me to realize that a lot of the traits I hated about myself, were due to a chemical imbalance in my brain. My therapist said that A.D.D is like an onion and you need to peel back the layers. This is the reason I was misdiagnosed for so long. After taking…
