No Average Mom

We all have bad habits. Well my bad habit is coffee. I love coffee just a little to much. This isn’t to say I drink gallons a day. Quite simply I need to have one good sized mug of really good coffee a day. I used to have a special place I would buy coffee until last week when we moved. Now I have nothing. There isn’t even a place around here to buy Starbucks coffee in a bag or anything. I am just a sad girl who needs a good cup of coffee. I have always had a special place for coffee wherever we have lived and I really miss having that right now! Maybe this is someone’s way of telling me I need to change my habits?

Stress and my complexion just don’t go together. I am just one of those people who you can tell by my face what is going on in my life. This isn’t to say I wear my emotions on my sleeve but rather that my skin wears them for me. You can tell if life is a bundle of stress because my skin will look like a 12 year old boy. I have tried everything from Proactiv to homemade remedies in an attempt to clear it up. Right now I am just trusting that once life become more relaxed my skin will once again be clear. This is something my mirror is very much looking forward to seeing

We are about a week away from closing on our new house and our old house. It is nice to be at this point because I honestly never thought we would be here. The sale of our house has been such a blessing. Aside from getting us away from a crummy neighborhood, we have made enough money to pay off some debts. Sure, our house payment will be more but it is going to be okay. About the time our first house payment is due we will qualify for group health insurance through my husband’s job. Instead of paying $400.00 per month for insurance we will be covered for free. This is more than enough to cover the difference in our house payment today and what is to come.

Sleep has been elusive for me lately. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I try to avoid caffeine or anything else that might make me stay awake I still can’t seem to sleep at night. At this point I would take anything even the best diet pill on the market if someone told me it would also make me sleep. That is how desperate I am to sleep well. I kind of have that drunk feeling from being so tired. Maybe once all of this moving business is behind us I can tuck in for a long winter’s sleep…

This mommy is tired. This mommy is so busy she can’t believe it. This mommy is somehow managing to get it all done! Packing, home schooling, and raising kidlets with my husband away. This mommy is drinking a TON of coffee! Guess what? This mommy needs to bathe in acne treatments because between the stress and the coffee I have the skin of a teenage girl. Here a zit and there a zit and everywhere a zit! It will calm down and things will be better because of all of this stress I just know it. If you can please ignore my skin until such a time as my normal 37 year old complexion returns. Thank You!
