College, Crying & Sleep.

I’ve been doing this whole college thing for a few years..
Saturday was my first college tailgating experience. Not kidding.
I enjoyed every single second of it. Oh, yes I did.

I guess I won’t go into a whole lot of tailgating details since I’ll probably bore all of you.

However.. I will show off my new Sodastream…

BAM. Yes. 330am.. after the game.. Lucas calls me while he’s at the grocery store and tells me to stay awake.
He claimed he was worried about falling asleep.. He asked me if I wanted to know the Sodastream flavors..
Honestly, I didn’t think anything of it. Anytime we go to the store I mention how badly I want one.
I never actually look at one because I know that I’ll buy it. He goes on about the flavors..
As usual I remind him that I wouldn’t mind if he bought me one. He laughs as usual and says, “OOOK Bubba.”

But, then 15 minutes later he tells me to come to the door. I’m annoyed at this point.
I’m exhausted. My head is throbbing. I drag myself out of bed. Open the door..
He’s standing there with the biggest smile and his hands behind his back.. Then he shows me the surprise.
I held it together for about 5 minutes before crying my eyes out. Which he couldn’t understand..

And.. if you can’t understand it either you’ve obviously have never been surprised with something you really wanted.

I love my Sodastream! I went out and bought so much to go with it. It’s amazing. Buy one, now.

 

A lot of you asked me about Sleepytime tea…
No, I don’t make a crazy drink that knocks me out instantly.
It really is just tea. I just use the kcups and put bags in it as well..
Add a little honey & lemon juice and it’s super fab!


If you don’t like tea but are looking for safer sleep aid..
try the Bob Marley drinks! Yes, they work!

Hopefully it’ll help some of you sleepless bloggers!

    You may have just convinced me to buy a soda stream. Also I'm gonna take your advice and buy some sleepy time tea... I can sure use a good nights sleep.

    I go to a school where we don't have tailgating or big games or anything, but I went to a game at a college that did, and it was so much fun! Such a great experience.

    As someone who was born and raised in South Bend, Indiana, I will not tell you what I think of Michigan State's football abilities.

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
