…27 weeks! all the florals. and the way i look at my coffee. oh coffee, how i love thee!
…someone asked me recently what i do exactly to “not go crazy,” as we discussed what we do for “me time.” i guess i expressed that i don’t really do alone time… or girls nights these days… or mani-pedis, usually, i do my own nails… i’ve seen one movie in theaters in the last 7 years… and i honestly i just do not really like to be away from my kiddos much… but hey! at least she thinks i’m not going crazy?! i’m fairly certain that i am, actually. 🙂 although, the implication that children make a person go crazy really bothers me. i would have a whole lot more patience and focus for them to just be kids and learn and grow if it weren’t for all the grown up crap getting in the way, know what i mean!? anyway… then i remembered that the “me time” i actually do crave is just having everyone asleep in the house and putting on a few episodes of something while i get night time things done and then maybe browse blogs and edit my photos. 🙂 lately, i can’t stay awake to even do such things! i really miss being a solid late-nighter. but… there it is. i’m pretty simple like that.
…aaalso…. don’t ask me if we’re excited for school to start, i’m busy pretending not to be a train wreck when i’m actually beside myself. sorry and thank you and i love you bye.
…minnie’s new little fur cut!!!! my sweet meemer. i can’t even handle it. she needed her fur fixed up so so badly. a huge patch on her back never even grew in from her last shave… sooo… it was pretty rough! and at age 10, she deserves to be spoiled. thank you to anna for making her feel all pretty!! <3
…i sent some things in to thredup a month ago… wait, did i mention that i recently ordered a dress from them that i’ve literally had on my pinterest for years?! but it’s been out of my budget, for sure. i’m so excited!!! i love when stuff like that happens. anyway, i sent some things of ours in and they finally got my stuff all analyzed and such… it turned out to be only a handful of girls stuff and a pair of leggings [zellas!!], and i believe you can peruse it here. [although, let me know if that doesn’t work.] also! my referral link for $10. 🙂 i don’t know how many more times i will send stuff to them, because i can’t really predict what they will or won’t take, but i do love ordering from them… especially when it comes to kids clothing!!
…isn’t it funny how the times that screen time is over and little ones are playing oh so nicely, the house ends up covered. in. everything. EVERYWHERE! i look around at our house sometimes as the little bunners are playing, and i just have to laugh. but i love it. a sterile, boring home life terrifies me. i love their toy messes. i also spend a lot of time cleaning them up instead of making them do it and i’m probably messing up everything by doing that but whatever.
anyway. that’s my coffee life afternoon blob of thoughts for now!
xoxoxo

I’ve been a lurker of your blog for years but never been one to comment. (I love it btw ) this post really hit home with me…I see so many of my peers on social media posting pics of their girls night out etc. I really don’t relate to them????!! Like you, I would rather be at home with my kids who are growing up super fast vs being with friends. I don’t do pedis/manis, dates to the theatre etc. We will blink and in no time our kiddos will want to go out with their friends and we will be missing the Saturday nights at home with take out, redbox and a toy strewn house. Thank you for your transparency and reassurance that I am not the only one out there with this mindset. Side note: we start kindergarten next week and I have teared up at least once a day thinking about missing my girl while me and baby are at home during the day hours. I guess we will survive🤷🏻♀️ Keep posting your brain blobs and such and we lurkers will continue to read.
