In This Beginning

 So here we are… these are the first words on my Blog…

Well that was a blast! See you next time.

Just kidding! Lets chat…about what though?

Here we all sit in the year 2020 contemplating what in the actual eff is happening here. We have had to do so many many things that we never thought we would. Like panic about a toilet paper shortage, talk to people through the computer/phone daily, work at home with our families (praise those of you that have had to be home all day for 5,789 miiiiilliooon days with your children and husbands!) and teach our children in home ( I am NOT a teacher for a reason people!!!).

Some day we will look back at this and laugh…? Really?! Who in the hell thinks any of this is funny? I’ll tell you who isn’t complaining… my dog! he’s in people heaven and I hate it! Don’t get me wrong I love my dog and I also love my family but there is a limit people!

I have worked full time for most of my working life. I worked upwards of 60+ hours a week before I was able to become a stay at home mom. I will tell you right now that I work Waaaay more now then I did as the store manager of a retail store! Holy shit it got real!

I had this honeymoon image of becoming a stay at home… the honeymoon did not last! I now had to make three meals a day, do ALL of the house work, a lot of the yard work, pet care, child care, school stuff, help my husband with his job (we own our construction business and I run the saw Bi*ches! )… How in the entire world did I quit a job and get a thousand times busier?! I chose this and my family is better off with me home!

Now, if I didn’t happen to already be a stay at home…Who/how would my kids have been taken care of through this pandemic? You don’t sell skinny jeans to tweens from home in your pajamas. Thank goodness I’m already where I am today! To those of you Moms/Dads out there making this scary stupid time in your life work! Eff yes! Good for you and your kids!

I started this not having a damn clue what I was going to say… more than I thought I guess! I have so many things to talk about so please let me know if you have any thoughts, questions, or comments! I have wanted to start a blog for years but just never did. I’m looking forward to growing with readers and sharing my insight to this crazy life!
