Thursday Thoughts - randomness at it's finest

As I said on monday, I want to get into the habit of writing at least a little bit each day. I spend too much time on mindless activities (like doomscrolling on social media platforms) and not enough time actually using my mind. I'm trying to get out of that habit...  With that in mind I've set a timer today for 20 minutes just for writing. I don't really have anything in particular I want to speak about, so this I guess is just me doing stream of consciousness writing again. But that's better than nothing, right? It's using my mind to think...  What should I write about? I'm not sure. I love the sound that birds make in the afternoon but I hate it in the morning.

I hate Mondays

 This is my stream of consciousness writing for the day so I can at least say I wrote something today. I hate Mondays! There's always too much to do and not enough time to do it. People are always messaging me asking questions and I can't ignore them because they are relying on me to be there for them but then I'm not able to be there for myself and get my required work done. My boss says I need to work on my time management skills but all the time management skills in the world can't help me if I have too much to do and not enough time to do it in during the day. Everything has to be done before the end of the shift so how do I chose? I don't know. My head hurts, I'm stressed and overwhelmed and I just want to cry and give up and I can't. Some days I just want to quit...but I actually really like my job; I just hate Mondays!  I need a vacation but I can't afford to take time off. I need me time. I need to put me first but I can't. I hate life someti...

Published children's book

This post is slightly off topic, but not quite. Several years ago, I wrote a short little children's picture book for my oldest daughter, Rachel, and last night I decided to take the plunge and digitally publish it with Amazon. The book is called ' Not Bedtime, Almost ' it's a cute little story about a little girl named Rachel, who is so used to her bedtime routine that she "reminds" mommy what she needs to do next before she can go to bed.  Not Beditme, Almost is available for only  $2.99, so hurry on over and get your copy! Don't forget to leave a comment to let me know what you think!!

Wacky coversation with my oldest

Rachel trying to show gratitude because I let her have a Hershey kiss: You're a great mom. Your kids love you. Even if our hearts one day explode, we love you Me: uh, why would your heart explode? Rachel: um, too much air in my body or too much blood in my heart Me: .....pretty sure that's not going to happen...ever Rachel: well, if it does, just know that I love you Me:.....OK...
