I’m a part-time nurse, full-time mom.

I’m equal parts type A perfectionist, and I-don’t-know-what-I’m-doing-so-I’m-just-gonna-wing-it.

This blog is a little bit of ALL of that. It’s a little bit of me.

So sit down and stay a while because I cannot tell a short story.

Hey friends!

Dear lady that offered to take my picture with my son at the grocery store,⁣
⁣
I’m sorry I looked at you crazy and asked why you wanted our picture. ⁣
⁣
I see now that you were just being nice and are not the psychopath I assumed you were. I too have often offered to help get the mom in the picture. ⁣In their own picture.
⁣
The problem is I am somehow bound by the laws of my own nature to make every situation uncomfortable. ⁣
⁣
Sorry I’m awkward. ⁣
⁣
Sincerely, ⁣
The crazy lady in the pumpkins⁣
⁣
PS Next time I will wash my hair before I go to the grocery store. Sorry you had to see me like that.⁣
⁣
PSS Sorry again. ⁣
⁣
PPS I just looked it up and found out it’s supposed to be PPS and not PSS. Forgive me. ⁣
⁣
…Sorry.⁣

I was gonna post about my kids and how proud I am

I was gonna post about my kids and how proud I am after their soccer games today, but apparently it’s some daughters day thing so here’s a picture of my goalie. ⁣
⁣
Harper wasn’t actually excited about playing soccer but we really wanted her to try out a sport or 2 and Hudson was playing soccer… so soccer it was. She was put on a really good team that’s been together a while so I was a little nervous for her as a newbie. She still plays a lot like her mom, which is to run around and make it look like you know what you’re doing but not get too close to the ball or you might actually have to do something with it. But I’m so proud of her for trying. For doing her best and making a real effort to learn. We’re only a couple games in and I see her starting to like it more and more, especially as she makes new friends (which she does easily, unlike her mom). And doesn’t she make the cutest goalie? It’s her favorite position because you have one job. It’s also my favorite position for her because I can find her easily. I’m learning the game too. 🤣⁣
⁣
And Hudson… I finally told him that it’s okay to be a little bit mean in soccer. That it’s okay to steal the ball when the other team is kicking it. Apparently the permission to be mean was all it took to turn a kid who was completely indifferent about soccer, into a superstar. I’m not really sure that’s a good thing, but whatever. My kid who had no interest in kicking the ball at all before, suddenly made 6 goals in one game (though he insists it was 7). I’ll post the video in my stories. ⁣
⁣
These 2 make getting up before the sun on a Saturday worth it. Mostly. Now if only they wouldn’t get up so early on Sunday too… ⁣

Mom! I’m stuck!!⁣
⁣
It FINALLY feels like fall here in Houston (for now anyway) so I am FINALLY open to joining all of you in your pumpkin obsession. ⁣
⁣
I even tried my fist PSL today… It has coffee. Zero stars. Do not recommend. But I did get my old trusty hot chocolate as a backup and Harry got a pup cup so all is well. ⁣
⁣
I need recommendations for Starbucks drinks that don’t have coffee or tea. Other than hot chocolate, does that even exist? ⁣
⁣
Either way, hope everyone has a happy Friday! ⁣

Same swing, same kids (+1). ⁣
⁣
Their great-grandfather hung this swing and it’s been there so long the trees are starting to eat the board. I just love this so much.⁣

I just need to brag on my father in law for a sec.

I just need to brag on my father in law for a sec. He came to visit last night and brought Harper and me flowers. Then he took it up a notch and did a little amateur flower arranging. 🌸🌼⁣
⁣
He’s also been single for a very long time. I’m taking applications. Must love camo, talk radio, and ALL that entails. 😜🦌🪵🐘⁣

Juuust before bedtime, one of these turkeys peed about 7 gallons worth in a 10 foot line across my kitchen. Then proceeded to walk all over the rest of the kitchen with pee-soaked feet. ⁣
⁣
I’ll let you guess who was who.⁣
⁣
While I stood in the front yard with the dog, huffing and puffing because he was JUST outside and I DID NOT have time to wash the dog AND steam the floor IN ADDITION to getting my kids ready for bed, Harper cleaned it up. All of it. CLEAN.⁣
⁣
It’s not been easy working on her fear of dogs and learning all the responsibilities of having one, but I’m so proud of how far she has come. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes I say the world isn’t ready for this girl, other times I think she’s exactly what this world needs. Sometimes I learn more from my kids than I could ever begin to teach. ⁣

We lived. Actually we slept right through the hurr

We lived. Actually we slept right through the hurricane. Our area didn’t get the bulk of it so we were lucky. Actually we had a thunderstorm last week that was MUCH worse. ⁣
⁣
But when we woke up we didn’t have power, so we did what all good Texans do after a storm, and went driving around to check things out. Whataburger still had power so we also scored some food. 🍔🍟 (Fellow Texans, is it sacrilegious to use a fry emoji in a red box?😬) We spent the rest of the day on Snapchat because we still get a kick out of it and running the battery down on my phone seemed like a good idea. ⁣
⁣
When the power came back on this afternoon we couldn’t have been happier. I was excited to see the temp in the fridge was good and the frozen stuff was still frozen, so we didn’t even lose any food. The kids were excited they could finally watch TV. Tell them they can’t and it’s all they want to do. 🙄⁣
⁣
We did almost nothing productive today, but we laughed and played and laughed some more. That’s my kind of hurricane party. ⁣
⁣
💡⁣

Welp. It’s hurricane season for real now. Tropic

Welp. It’s hurricane season for real now. Tropical storm Nicholas🎅 is coming to town and miiight become a ho-ho-hurricane along his route. Hopefully we’ve been good. 🤞⁣
⁣⁣
I saw a post from someone who just moved here from up north (welcome to Texas!) and was nervous about what to do and how to prepare. Meanwhile, I’m over here just trying to find the willpower not to eat all the snacks and giddy at the prospect of school being cancelled so I can sleep in. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But really, they’re expecting significant flooding, especially along the coast. We should be fine but say a little prayer for those that may not be. ⁣⁣

Harper asked me yesterday what 9/11 was. She knows

Harper asked me yesterday what 9/11 was. She knows the basics of what happened that day, but I could tell she wanted to talk about it a little more. We did, but it still hasn’t really sunk in for her. Which I’m thankful for. Especially because her daddy is a pilot, but also because she’s just not ready.⁣
⁣
The thing is, she lives in a September 12th kind of world. Where it’s your responsibility to help when others are in need. Where you always stick up for the underdog. Where we love each other not despite our differences, but because of them. Where we are all part of the same team. Where there is no evil, no hate. Only love, and an extra helping of American pride. Because in her world, we really are one nation. Under God. Indivisible.⁣
⁣
One day all too soon her world view will change. At some point, we’ll talk about 9/11 as it really was. I’ll tell her my story, and of the moments that touched my life in the days and weeks to follow. But even then, I’ll make sure she knows more than anything what September 12th was like. ⁣
⁣
She’ll learn of the love and compassion shown when unthinkable acts were committed. She’ll hear about our camaraderie despite the attempt to divide. She’ll picture how so many became heroes against the deepest of evils. I’ll make sure she still wants to wave her nation’s flag high and proud, the way it should be. The American way. The way she does now in her September 12th world. ⁣
⁣
🇺🇸⁣
