It’s Okay NOT to Enjoy ALL of it…

Posted on January 24, 2022January 24, 2022 by dance0015

Today is January 24th. Already this month, my kids have had 5 snow days and 3 days off for holidays and professional development. All of this comes directly after two weeks of winter break and a house filled with covid quarantine and I’m hanging on by a thread.  I’m writing this because I know I’m…

Protect Your Spirit

Posted on September 27, 2021September 27, 2021 by dance0015

Years ago, there was one day where I lost it at work. So much was happening I didn’t agree with (if you’ve ever been an educator, you can relate) and I went to my coworker’s and friend’s office. Since I went to this high school as a teenager, this coworker has also become a second…

Thank You, 2020 (I think)

Posted on March 14, 2021March 14, 2021 by dance0015

A year ago, we had returned from Disney with family only for schools to shut down a few days later. We intentionally gathered some close friends and their kids at the local park and had our last get-together before we wouldn’t see each other for at least two weeks. Little did we know that two weeks…

I’m Sorry I Thought it Was Easy

Posted on January 18, 2021January 18, 2021 by dance0015

Losing weight in your late 30’s is no joke. Losing weight has become the bane of my existence. Growing up I was skinny and petite.  While I’m sure a lot of it was high metabolism, I also spent the majority of my free time dancing, playing outside, walking, or riding my bike.  Even through the…

Today Was the Day I Broke

Posted on April 9, 2020April 9, 2020 by dance0015

Today was the day I broke.  I’ve tried to reset my mindset through this whole quarantine, stay at home experience but today… well today nothing worked.  The kids were awful. I’m talking temper tantrums, cuss words, holes in the walls, paint spilled, things broken…and that was just the kids.  It was the worst behavior I’ve…

The Hardest Part of My Anxiety…

Posted on March 11, 2020March 11, 2020 by dance0015

  Looking back I’ve probably had anxiety most of my life. I was very shy until high school and even then, pretty reserved.  I’ve never felt comfortable in social situations and have always second-guessed my words and decisions. This has made for some emotional times.  Roller coaster periods of depression and anxiety, and my behavior through…

Why Kobe is on my Mind…

Posted on January 27, 2020January 27, 2020 by dance0015

I’m probably the last person you would imagine to be struggling with the death of Kobe today.  Let alone the last person to write about it. Honestly, I’m surprised myself. So why is this white, rural living, mom so distraught? This will probably be a long one, but I hope you stick with me to…

Motherhood Isn’t Pretty

Posted on January 6, 2020January 6, 2020 by dance0015

I’ve been stuck in my house for 4 days with a sick baby.  I finally snuck in a shower and I’m hoping to venture out tomorrow to put on a bra and workout.  Not much has been accomplished since my 18-month-old has been crying non-stop, even when held. Basically, I’ve been trying to remain nurturing…
