A day in the life of a multitasking Mom, wife and Plexus ambassador

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,

whenever you face trials of many kinds,

because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." -James 1:2-18

Here goes Nothing..


My aunts suggested that I start doing a blog about a day in my life, so I figured why not ? What is one more thing on my plate in the grand scheme of things? Most of you know me, but if not I'll give you a little history. I am a single mom of two boys who are 2 and 4. I have basically always taken care of them by myself, and I don’t know any differently. Yes you read that right, and yes I still have a teeny tiny bit of sanity left.  I also work full time at a doctors office which can be extremely stressful at times... or 99% of the time I mean. It's a harder job than people think. It's not like I just sit and "answer phones" all day. I do answer phones (at nothing short of a stealth speed), check grumpy patients in and try to please them and everyone! I love the company I work for though (Integris) and I’ve been with them for 3.5 years now.

This semester, I started back at UCO to finish my English degree. I must have been out of my mind when I signed up for classes, but so far I am managing. I am doing well in the English lit class, but the Biology class makes me want to jump off a cliff. I never liked science in high school, so therefore I never learned ANYTHING. Even when I try to study for it, it’s a lost cause because my brain just doesn’t work that way! As soon as I get a couple more ridiculous classes out of the way, I’ll be onto all the English ones that I am good at.

Besides work, school, and kids, I like to write when I have time (hence the blog, although I’ll probably post new ones rarely) play the piano every now and then, hang out with my family, and shop at cheap stores like Dollar General and Goodwill with my sister. I’m always laughing, and I can’t live without music. That’s me in a nutshell.
Well, it’s almost 9:00 which means it’s time to clean, fold laundry, tiptoe around my house until my kids are finally asleep, do homework, and mentally prepare for a crazy week ahead…

ahhhh Monday morning comes way too soon.
