It's a good day to have good hair

Am I having a midlife crisis?

Probably . . . I mean technically, this is the middle of my life. And I feel . . . restless, bored, unsettled.

I think this is when wealthy people go out and buy a porche, or a yacht. We don't have the money for that, and if we did, the hubs would probably have a heart attack.

So, the poor folks like me . . . just kidding. We're not poor. I've actually been poor and this ain't it. Anyway, I'm just out here searching for the next thing. Like, tick freaking tock.

Homeschool is about the only thing right now that I am loving, which is shocking considering I never wanted to be a teacher. I always say that we didn't choose homeschool; homeschool chose us. It was something I felt called to do, but God had to close every door in our face before the hubs would buy into it. And now, I think even he would say that it's been awesome for our family. #homeschoolforthewin

There's a lot of 'stuff' going on in MK land right now so I'm just kind of riding the wave, doing what I do, building customers and guiding my team. But the future feels uncertain here for sure.

So I'm bored, which is why you're reading this post. It's the whole reason I came back to this blog. I kept getting notifications that someone looked at it. Honestly, I had completely forgotten it even existed. That's scary if you think about it . . . your thoughts are just wondering around the interwebs and you don't even remember that they're out there? Whoa 😮 But, I mean, who's really reading this thing anyway. Like, 5 people that love me anyway.

But here I am . . . trying to sort life out on my laptop. 😁

I'm having a good hair day, so there's that. 😜

5 Years Later . . .

Hey, so, it's been 5 years . . .

I've had another baby, switched careers (twice sort of), and decided I would resurrect this ole thing. Let's see . . . what's new . . . 👀

- We had another baby (#3), the caboose, and by far the funniest of the 3. She'll be 4 in April.

- We home school now after a disastrous stint in public school and a mediocre experience in private school. We live in a 'great school system' and sometimes I feel like we're the only parents that hate the schools around here. I know we're not, but we're definitely in the minority, not without reason though. Choosing to home school was BY FAR the best decision I've made in the last 5 years. Well, and having Lennon (#3).

- In June of 2016, I got my real estate license.🏡 In January of 2020, I hung it up. In case you didn't know, it's really freaking hard to home school, run a Mary Kay business, do real estate, and care for your elderly father. So, I had to pick something to let go of. Real Estate was the sacrificial lamb. However, I want to say that my last real estate client shares so much good home decor stuff on her IG - daisyanddaydreams. Go check her out!

- I love my Mary Kay products, and my Mary Kay customers, and my Mary Kay team. So crazy thankful for the business opportunity and flexibility that comes with it. I mean, in the last 4 years, I've earned multiple designer handbags, a free cruise for 2, more jewlery than I can possibly wear, and countless other items.

- I'm currently working on redoing our house. Because, surprise! I'm bored and unfulfilled right now. I'll share pics of the before and afters in future posts.


So thanks for reading. Feels good to be back. I think.😜
