What's It Like?
Let me set the scene, I walk into my supervisor's office and lay in the floor after showing up at 8:01, my goal is always 7 but usually when I have both kids it's between 730 and 8. I asked myself. What is it like? What is it like to wake up for yourself? A little back story I got pregnant not long into my freshman year of college. After my son was born, I spent the rest of my life working and trying to take care of my son. Every day was finding a babysitter for my shifts at work and make sure he had everything he needed breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. My son is now 14 and my life is way different but still just as crazy I wake up 2 hours before the kids, let the dogs and cats out, feed them, start my coffee, make lunches for both kids yes, I still make my son's lunch I know I don't have much longer with him before he goes off to college so I will do the little things to make sure he knows he is special and loved. I start to get myself ready and start to try to wake my daughter up. I always start an hour before my son because she is a nightmare to wake up, like I have never in my life dealt with someone who hates mornings so much! Usually takes the whole hour to get her up and moving then wake my son up finish getting ready rush to get the kids to two different school and make it to work before 730, that rarely happens, work my 8 hours alongside trying to plan out what sports practice which kid has today what we're going to do for dinner and if there's anything special like appointments I need to plan for. So back to the question, what is it like, people without kids what is it like to wake up and just have to worry about you and only you? Like I don't think I would know what to do with all that time and brain space, don't get me wrong I love my kids and the chaos of my life but wow that's a thought to be had. I will have to let you know in about 14 more years because I stupidly started completely over when my son was 10 so stay posted.
Reason 200 I will die alone!
So, like always on Monday we always have a weekend catch up with the coworkers. This is my favorite part just hearing everyone's ups and down. I love my work family they are everything I have prayed for! But anyways we have a running joke that I will die alone because I cannot talk to guys, I find attractive. Here are some of the stories about these amazing flirting attempts.
I was walking down the hall at work and there was a good-looking guy. So of course, as he walks towards me, I try to come up with what I am going to say. Hey, hi, hello, Good Morning, but nope that's not what comes out, I just lift my hand to wave and say yup. WHAT ON EARTH!!! YUP that's what I came up with?
My daughter does gymnastics at a very popular place, so when you walk in, they are packed you have to wait for one class to leave so there is room for you to sit. Well, my daughter was wearing her sweats, so I am helping her get them off. I all of a sudden notice she's smiling and winking. he is 4 years old, but she is a flirt. I look over my shoulder and there is an attractive man, he sees me look and say she's flirting with me. Without thinking I said to him Well I guess she should teach me her ways. Which you would think that was a pretty good line, but I didn't look to see if he had a ring a wife or nothing, I just spit it out. So, after embarrassing myself I refused to look up I just stared at the ground the rest of class.
On the weekends I don't have my kids I try to work a second job, times are hard, and things are expensive. But anyways, I was taking a delivery to a house in a very nice neighborhood. Usually, I just drop the orders off, and leave don't have to talk to or see anyone which I love because obviously I am an anxious dork that can't speak. Well, this heavenly looking gentleman walked out and grab his order from me. I did pay attention that he wasn't wearing a ring which doesn't always mean anything I mean he could have a girlfriend or future wife you never know but once again mouth runs before brain catches it. He said nice jeep, I said nice face. Yup Nice face what on earth!!! I quickly said I mean have a good day and ran back to my jeep.
As I continue my struggle at speaking to men I will add to these stories.
