Where I thought I would be.

My friend Paige had me thinking about something from her blog. If I was 16 and you asked me where I saw my self at almost 24 years old I would never picture this, but doesn't everyone say that. If you are one of those people who thought in 10 years I'm gonna be doing this and this and be here and have this and actually got all that then thank the good Lord above. ( woo the grammar in that sentence lol) I feel like nobody actually gets where they thought they were gonna be. I was raised in the church and everyone told me " if ya want to make God laugh, tell him your plans"...God was probably having a heart attack when I thought I was gonna be with my "lover" at the time and be a nurse and be a marine and also semi famous. I was going to have a farm and never have kids (yuck hate those lil ankle biters) Fun fact 16 year old me that boy is using you, you hate caring for other people, you can't run for shit, and you hate people again, animals are expensive, and you still hate kids just other peoples kids not your own. so like none of those things were ever gonna be possible....

At 23 I have a degree to work at a power plant, married to a guy that was never my type (complete 360 of every guy I ever dated), and have a son, and 6 cats and live in ohio being a stay at home mom.

But it's all good for right now. I have a sweetea in my hand, a cat on my lap, a baby in a swing, and a good book in my hand. For at least another hour I don't care what plans I had or where I want to be in the next ten years. Im going to try and enjoy right now....

Until next time internet diary thing.

5 Things That Help Me Be Productive

So this is gonna be one of those post/blog that maybe someone will get some use out of. Sometimes I feel so bad because I don't do anything. I don't work or go to school. I just stay home and take care or my kid. (Let's be honest though daycare is way to much) anyway, I can tell when I haven't been productive because I feel sluggish and useless and I really get depressed. So these are things I do that hopefully you can do to help you. 10: GET A PLANNER: Now before you say I have nothing to write in a planner,  I don't ever actually use it, or i use it for like a month and then never touch it again. I did everyone of those things above.  9.  WRITE WHAT YOU DO IN A DAY IN THAT PLANNER: it helps me feel so much more productive by just actually using the planner. I write every mundane thing down. Like I took shower, I did the dishes, I read in my book. And by the end of the week I can see everything I did. Sometimes just taking a shower is an accomplishment for me som

Perfect Days

Perfect days are so rare and so wonderful when they happen. It's a beautiful sunny 75 degrees and a breeze is blowing to keep you cool. I worked out in the garden, went into town and paid bills, got a few toys for my kid, got the yard mowed, took a shower, my child is napping, it's not hot...i could go on and on about how wonderfully simple the past few days have been. It's funny how things change. It's the little things that make me so happy now. Like seeing how happy your husband is when you tell him you snagged him tickets to pkemongofest before they sold out. These days are amazing, but I can't help think what makes them amazing is my sanity in knowing we have structure in our lives. A routine that is so common and would bore anyone else is where my happiness comes from. I live for it...the clothes are put away, the kitchen is clean, the cats are healthy, I just want to come back and read this when their aren't perfect days to remind myself that it's no

A bookish blog

You ever just randomly started a book and  got so into it you just couldn't put it down. I love reading. I always have and I'm fairly certain I always will. If someone could put the smell of a fresh new inked book in a candle you can bet I would own every one. Reading a book is literally the one thing nobody can take away from me. I can imagine the story how I want it. It takes you places you've never gone. Historical fiction and contemporary love stories are my favorite right now. It's like entering into a new world and having new friends. I wish everybody read just so I could discuss books with them. I would love to just have a reading party. Bring your favorite book, comfiest pjs, and your favorite beverage and just read until you fall asleep. Reading right before bed is the best because my dream will usually relate to the book I've just read. I would love to do book reviews, but there is just to much difference of opinions out there for that. Cheap used books
