And on that note…..~REPOST~

Have you ever had a day that you were moving full speed ahead all day?

If you said yes, then I know I’m in good company.

Today was one of those days that I needed to remind myself to breathe deeply and exhale loudly. If you close your eyes, put your hand on your chest, and silence the world around you while you inhale slowly and exhale just as slowly, you’ll find peace and comfort.

Well, I forgot to do that today, and by 8:00 pm, I looked like a plucked bird! Wide-eyed and cray cray!

Story Time

At 5:45 am, my clock made this loud ass buzzing sound; I guess you can call it an alarm. It was time to get up and make the donuts; well, I wish anyway.

I could use a good donut.

It was time to check emails, reply to emails, and check on the situation of my new career move. Before I knew it, I heard my daughter’s clock making that same annoying noise mine had made an hour ago.

She jumped up, freshened up, and headed to the car for basketball practice!

7:30 am was made for working out, and that’s just what I did. By 11:00, the shower was done, breakfast was done, two loads of laundry were done, dinner was done, and two major work-related operations were done.

The clock hit 1:50 pm, and I ran out the door to pick up the pregame meal for the 7th and 8th-grade girls and boys’ basketball teams. 

My daughter wanted me to share one of my military stories with the group while they ate, so I did.

4:00 pm I’m headed back home so I can get a little work done before heading out to watch my daughter’s basketball game.

6:15 I’m headed out for the game.

7:15-8:20 pm I was yelling like a bat out of hell for my daughter and her teammates.

Yay, they won!

10:30 pm, I’m writing my blog, and at that moment, I realized that today is Tuesday and not Monday. I completed all of my Tuesday duties with Monday energy.

And on that note, I’m going to bed.

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you decided mine, and I’m honored!

  3. “I’m writing my blog, and at that moment, I realized that today is Tuesday and not Monday. I completed all of my Tuesday duties with Monday energy.” This happens to me all the time! Minus the duties. And the energy. And the completion. 😂🤷🏾‍♀️
    Hats off to you, beautiful mom, for getting it all done, including a workout! 🙌🏾💜

  10. Great description of your fruitful day (starting with loud ass alarm). I’m so glad you were asked to tell a story out of your military experience. And glad that you shared. I hope your Wednesday (when I’m writing now) is grand.

      1. But God! Lots of people ask me that, and I have never ever had coffee, or alcohol, in my 55 years. This year has been the most challenging, with my wife being in the hospital twice since last December, the last time in May from a stroke, and was there for 8 weeks. For the last few years, alone with working two jobs, being her caregiver, keeping the house, and still finding time to blog; but God. The more things I do, the more I seem to get done, time management was a skill I learned in my 20’s. 🙏🏽
