Keepin' It Real Friday: "I'm TIRED!"


It has been a LOOOOOOONG day. 
And I'm 

Pooped!

It feels as though I'm like this every Friday night now. 
I can't even think straight in order to write my "Keepin' It Real" posts anymore. 
I always have so many brilliant ideas about what to write, and then I start writing and I can't ever seem to stay awake!

I can't even tell you how many times I've fallen asleep while trying to write tonight's post, not to mention how many times I've changed the topic.

This last week, I called myself 
"hot-headed" because I got VERY "worked up" about a few things (understatement of the century). My friend called me "passionate." I like that. I'm not cranky. I'm passionate. 



Because I'm so passionate; however, I ALways have something to say. It's just a matter of whether or not I choose to say it. And this blog? Well... that's where I get to let it all out! 

Trouble is, this last week, there were OH SO MANY things AND people who have gotten on my nerves, that I can't even put my thoughts together, nor can I pick just one thing to rant about.

But that's okay, because it brings it all back home and leads me to my next:

KEEPIN IT REAL FRIDAY: 
"I'm tired!!!"

Today I have:
  • Worked out
  • Wiped 6 poopy bums
  • Fed 4 mouths breakfast, lunch, and dinner
  • Cleaned the bathrooms (all to find my baby trying to play in the toilet bowl)
  • Cleaned the kitchen
  • Kissed boo-boos
  • Sung songs
  • Played peek-a-boo
  • Danced
  • Hung laundry
  • Swept the house (all to discover that our broom for SOME reason smells like pee... thus leading to me mopping that room). 
  • Cleaned up toys
  • Cleaned up vomit
  • Gave my baby a bath
  • Slipped in pee and cleaned that up
  • Scolded and Disciplined a little
  • Yelled a couple of times
  • And smiled... a lot, A LOT A LOT!

ALL TO DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY........

Get the picture?

C'mon Moms all over the world. You know EXACTLY what I'm talkin' about.

So today? I'm tired. I should have been in bed a LOOOOOOONG time ago. My day tomorrow could suffer a great deal because I'm still up typing, yet I felt a sense of duty to "keep it real" and let you all know that my head is currently bobbing up and down as I finish this post. 

If that's not dedication, I don't know what is.

This is what I do. The reward, I'm told, is priceless.


And I go through a lot of this...


and this...



in order to simply catch a small glimpse of that reward.








And tomorrow... I am motivated by the hope that more will come.

Keepin' It Real Friday: "I'm the Wife of a Medical School Student"

My SWEET husband is home tonight!!!
AND he just informed me of this: 
He said,

"I'm caught up. I'm not going back to school tonight. I'd like to just cuddle up and watch a movie with you." 

WHAAAAAAAT????



"Oh! And give you an AMAZING head massage!" 
(Okay... he never said that.)


 For those of you who don't know? 
This is a biiiiiiig deal. MONUMENTAL!


And... :( Sadly, The most dreaded 4 months of medical school is 
inevitably. coming. our. way......
(beginning Monday) Wa-Wah-Wahhhhh....

So? What does that mean for my "Keepin' It Real" post?
I won't leave you hangin' like I have in the past when I've been busy. 
That's just plain rude.
I WILL post something! I have 3 whole readers who can actually still stand me after my last FB rant.

Here it is:

#8 "I'm the Wife of a Medical School Student"


He's My Everything.
I'm so proud of him.
He's come a LOOOOONG way to get here! 

(Just like every other medical school student all over the world.) My GOSH! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY DO!!!!!!

We thought getting IN was the hard part. Well, it was, but man... this ride is InTeNsE!

Bry continues to improve his study habits every semester, and he's figuring out what makes him tick 
(other than me, of course).

There is truly no way to explain what he does 
(nor what we do to support him)
until you've done it. 

HOLLA AT ME!

So? My post?

I'm "Keepin' It Real."



PEACE OUT SUCKAS!!!!

I've got myself a movie to watch!
