Feeling guilty: but loving it

Before Covid 19 I was the mom with busy kids! Basketball, Football, Baseball, Cheer, school activities, birthday parties etc. I was the mom always in their room making sure I got quality time in any way I could rather it be watching them play a video game, watch a movie with them or just to talk! The mom who checked homework daily, cooked DAILY and yes I mean daily! You know the mom that just never sat down until it was time for bed. Oh I love it as exhausting as it is if I’m not moving then something is not being done. And in the mix of all that lovely madness I worked over time for my job a extra hour in the morning maybe 2-3 extra hours in the evening oh and Saturday yessss I’m working! If there was a game lol yup I’m still clocking in before the game and after. Any idle time must be covered, you ever heard that saying “sleep when your dead” yea that was me! My sister use to tell me “Sissy you are a super mommy but you need to rest”! No thank you, I need to come up with a blog or network with bloggers or blah blah blah! Yea I’m tired from reading that so I know you are too LOL

Then came this DAMN virus and it has everyone in a frenzy (a state or period of uncontrolled excitement or wild behavior.) Side note I just had to google the word lol I knew how to use it but I didn’t know the full definition (Face palm lol oh well that’s just me being overly honest as usual) 

Anyway stores are empty, kids are being sent home from school, sports are canceled and it was just a lot too fast! So then I was the mom trying to work (for those that don’t know I’ve worked from home almost 2 years now) all while being a teacher to my children. Clearly it’s been a while since I’ve been in school, some of this stuff they teach the kids is just backwards or maybe it was how we were taught! It became frustrating because they are not understanding how I’m teaching and I don’t wanna show them the wrong thing or confuse them from how their teacher teaches. I was the mom who was making up games for them to have fun and learn at the same time! The mom who was making lunch now for 3 extra people with no peace and quiet. The mom being a referee between two 7 year olds! Still the busy mom but only in the house, and last but not least the mom about to pull her hair out!!

AND NOW.... Here we are put on a curfew and kids will be out of school the feast of the school year.... So guess what mom I’ve been .... (The kids are on spring break by the way) I’ve been the mom who has not went into their kids room until the end of the day. I’ve been the mom who slowed down on over time (and now they just announced we no longer have over time bummer) I’ve been the mom where I have not cooked daily. The mom who let her son stay up playing Fortnite until 5 am and letting him sleep in until God knows when. It’s 1:29 pm on Friday as I write this on my lunch and Kayden is STILL sleep. But guess what i honestly do not care. I don’t have any blogs prepared for the next 2 weeks, clearly because I’m writing one right now!!!

Normally I’d be feeling guilty because there has been too much idle time going on in my household BUT every now and then it’s ok to just BREATH... So that’s exactly what I’m going to do!!! Tomorrow I’m going to try and sleep in as late as I can, which I know will only be until 7:30 or 8 BUT it will be without an alarm. And I’m going to just lay in bed all day. Judge me if you want too lol! 

We try and control every minute of our life with schedules and trying to make everything perfect that we can drive ourself crazy. Maybe that’s just me I don’t know but I am going to do my best to let this weekend just control itself and allow everyone to relax!!

Please comment below your thoughts and what you’ve been doing since curfews have been put in place!!!

Coca Cola blahhh

You all know I have my mommy daughter, mommy son and my date nights but I have yet to tell you all about our family nights! Now all five of us are totally different yet similar. We are all goofy so when we get crazy, we get crazy but we all get in our moods where we just don’t want to be delt with! Which is normal, we just handle it differently lol. I’m usually the more neutral one, or id like to believe so (they may say different) but i think I’m just not as picky so I’m more easy going! Then on the other hand lordt (yes I spelled that correctly lol) they are sooo picky and each want it their way or it’s a issue! And normally at least one person has an issues with where we eat or go to have fun!!
 

It’s to a point where now I just say forget it one of y’all gone have to be mad and the next time it will be someone else. Realized I can’t ALWAYS try to please them all or else I start getting irritated lol. Buttttt the one thing I know we can all agree on is —-PEPSI, we can drink a bottle a day! It’s truly all of our addiction. However that did not stop us from visiting the Coca Cola museum. We were all actually excited to go there! That was until we got stuck in traffic on the way there and was legit in traffic for 2 HOURS. The gps would say we were 1 mile away but it was going to take 35 min to get there so we’d go another direction and end up with the same result.... Everyone was getting annoyed and hungry, we almost said forget it but we stuck it out and finally made it!! Come to find out there was a marathon downtown. If you’ve never been I really suggest going, the place is full of information and history and even though coke is not our first choice the different coke products from around the world were... well interesting to say the least!

I love seeing when we are all united and no one is angry or arguing it’s such a beautiful thing! I’m really glad we didn’t turn around because it really did turn out to be a amazing day. Ohh then came time to go eat, and of course everyone through out totally different ideas lol! We ended up at Golden Corral which is perfect for us because everyone can find something they like woohooo! You would not think this but they have greatttt steak!
