Its Been A While! in Parenting

I seriously don’t know how people have time to write. I haven’t written in months. I started my new job and literally NEVER have any time to do ANYTHING. It’s actually WORK! It’s harder, its less pay, its over whelming. For a while, I thought me coming to this new job was the biggest mistake ever. The stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I still feel like that some days. I keep thinking about all the things that KEPT me at my old job, that this new one doesn’t have. I have to keep reminding myself how bad they treated me and how they were trying to FIRE me. I’m not happy at my new job but that’s because I’m still learning and I keep thinking about my old job, how easy it was, how the pay and flex time was better, the insurance. Etc. So I have to keep reminding myself that it’ll get better and I’m still in the Learning process. My trainer is a very young snooty uppity southern Baptist so its awkward.

I don’t have time to write when I get home, be I don’t have that much time with Norah during the week like I used to. I have some time during the weekend, and I spend it with her.

Things haven’t really been that great. My new job stresses me out, I’m way more tired and exhausted, Brian totaled his car so we are down to ONE car and I do NOT like being a ONE car family. That is just not for us. Jacksonville is the biggest city in America, land wise, you NEED a car, it does help that we work at the same place now, but it doesn’t help that I’m new and can’t use time, so if my mom can’t watch Norah, Brian has to take time, because he is not wasting gas, going back and forth.

Norah is a little over a year and  a half now and I swear she understands everything we say, repeats everything, knows what everything is and is a sponge. Her vocabulary just exploded. She also uses the potty on her own. She’s always let us know when she goes, and now she will run to the toilet and I feel her strain and she laughs, wipes and flushes.

She also says “BewBEES” now if she wants to nurse. She will nurse and say ‘Gud!”

It’s so cute. She is the sweetest, cutest thing ever. And I’m not biased. People tell me that everywhere we go.

Unfortunately, the lady who watches her has a daughter who is obsessed with her pacifier so now Norah wants hers all the time too. It would’ve been easy to wean her from it but now I have to wait. Plus its cute when Norah goes “Pass eh…fire uh” and she also has an obsession with Elmo since the sitters kids love Elmo. I guess that’s the price I have to pay. Other than that everything’s fine. But that’s another thing I never had to worry about at my old job, no sitters, no child care payments, etc. SIGH

We went to a Pagan Festival and I helped run the Intact Florida Booth where we educate people on Circumcision Harm and Intact care. Most Pagans are for Human autonomy so many of them were against it and thanked us for being there. Everyone was super nice and a lady who makes jewelry gave Norah a necklace.

I did the Whole 30 challenge with my cross fit gym. I was pissed our team didn’t win. Especially bc the team who won, had a guy who got wasted, and a chick who had candy. I was like WTH?! I was also mad I didn’t win the over all transformation. Not to be mean, but it’s because I’m not fat. Fatter women lose weight and inches much faster than someone with less fat. I lost 7 inches just around my mid-section. I gained muscle in my quads, lost about 8 pounds. And felt GREAT! I didn’t cheat once. I’m a sore loser though. I need another challenge because I feel myself slowly slipping back into my bad habits…bonus is that I can’t eat as much junk as I used to and my stomach hurts when I do, so it makes me stop.

I’m trying to look sexy so when we go to a party in a few weeks. But there’s a bake sale coming up!

Brew at the Zoo is coming up and I’m pissed that they’re sold out after buying Brian a ticket and waiting to get mine. I’ve been looking everywhere.

Oh and I’m waiting for money from my job. It’s a few grand and it’s supposed to help us buy a new car. We’ve settled on a Prius. Its great gas mileage and lasts forever, and we need that type of vehicle. It would just be nice if my POS old job would process my money already. It would make life much easier and maybe I wouldn’t feel so stressed out 247
