Finding Joy Amongst Chaos

cjingram5660

So, this last year has been nothing short of chaos. I started nursing school in August of 2023 and from that point on, I started losing my mind. I lived solely off of coffee, hugs and kisses, and tears. Lots and lots of tears. But, I am happy to say that I made it through my first year of nursing school! C's get degrees, right?? So, here I am at home with my babies once again and feeling alllll the pressure. Financial pressure, mom pressure, school pressure, wife pressure, just pressure. Thankfully I finally have some time to catch up on all the books that I have been hoarding in my book closet. I have a ton of books in there and its still not enough! I love to read and I don't just mean the material I have to read for school. I thoroughly enjoy reading for pleasure. It is what makes me happy. It is the joy that I find amongst all the chaos. My babies are getting older by the second and I am just not okay with it. We are having a pretty solid summer though. They swim with the neighbors all the daggum time, which means I have plenty of time to read. Someone has to be out there watching them. The pool is just getting to the temperature that I am comfortable with. My kids have been getting in since it was 62 degrees. Mama cannot do that. I truly believe these kids have zero nerve endings. Everyday is chaotic and I am finding myself beating myself up because I don't know if I am taking advantage of the time that I have. I want to get up super early and get a workout in, but then I also like sleep. I want to have a clean house. I still have a 4 and 6 year old, 2 dogs, and a husband. I know how truly blessed I am, and as the old saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side. So, I guess for now, I will keep trying to get up at 5 am to get a workout in, kick back with a good cup of coffee and fall deep into a book. Happy Wednesday, all!
