Just Let Me Vent...
Where do I begin? Recently my mother in law gave me a super
cute “Super Mom” shirt which prompted this post. (Mind you I got the shirt 3
weeks ago, and I’m just getting around to this smh). My life has become
consumed with work; which can be a double edged sword. I landed some really
awesome contracts with some really awesome clients and they have been keeping
me busy! Not to mention my two best friends decided to get married and pregnant
around the same time! So for three straight weeks, my life was in bridal shower-baby
shower-wedding mode, in that order! But I’m not complaining! : ) From planning weddings;
to securing TV spots for clients; to speaking at an 8th grad
graduation; to actually fulfilling my full time duties for my company, I am
completely OVERWHELMED!!! But in a good way. Again, I’m not complaining. : ) I
did however decide not to take on anymore clients this summer (ironic because
the summer JUST began lol). But I owe this to my daughter and my husband. For
months my husband would ask every day “are you coming home tonight.” My answer,
of course, is always YES. But sometimes that meant I was walking in long after
he and Dreux had gone to bed. I saw something on Instagram recently that said “I’m
building a brand, I’m always working.” If that ain’t the truth. It’s difficult
when you are trying to build a brand. You don’t want to turn down any opportunity
to network or learn or take on projects. But I have completely worn myself out!
So I look at it like a mini summer vacation. This doesn’t mean I’m not working
though. I just got a contract with a school for an event in the fall, so naturally
all our planning will be over the summer. But I swear I’m not taking on another
one until after the fall. Oh, and there is this one event I’m planning. But I’m
on the board for the organization, so I have to do this one. But that’s it! Oh
wait, no, I’m planning our 10 year class reunion next year too. See, I just don’t
know when to quit. LOL I had amazing plans on spotlighting a different mom
every month. Well that went out the window unfortunately, due to my chaotic
life. I’m almost certain the people that were following my blog have completely
given up on me by now. I’m sorry guys! I have great intentions, I really do! LOL
One day I’ll have my life together and I’ll be able to tell my story on how I
did it and inspire the world. For now, this is what you get –A real life 26
year old wine and martini drinking wife & mom who does not have it entirely
together, but figuring it out along the way. So I apologize to “unresponded”
texts and e-mails, for passing out on the bed in my work clothes, for being
late to work, for missing dinner parties, and for forgetting to go grocery
shopping! LOL Pray for me ya’ll. Just because you may not see me working my
booty cheeks off, doesn’t mean I’m not! And to the most amazing husband, VP of Operations,
set-up/break-down personnel, therapist, pastor, and personal assistant out
there, baby you’re the real MVP! Thanks for supporting my crazy dreams, even if
that means you had to put yours to the side.
