Battle Hymns of a Hot Mess Mom

One day at a time…

Friday Junior

Woke up at 4:30am and stared at my phone for another 45 minutes until the alarm went off at 7:00am. My plans are laundry – can’t wait. But since I did absolutely nothing yesterday today gets to be my more productive day. Still waiting on the bone marrow biopsy results. I know that for the rest of my life I will have to wait on results of a bone marrow. Biopsy a 3 to 5 day wait on average. but I really don’t want to be anxious every time I have to do this. I’m thinking of drafting a “waiting celebration” I’m not sure how that would actually look. But will need to give it some thought.

I finished a few loads of laundry today as well as the dishes. Sitting down for a minute to watch Beckham and then off to make a dry rub for the chicken. We ran out of honey bear honey (Costco one) a few weeks ago and since J hadn’t gone to Costco I order some honey from Amazon. Highly recommend and everything. But tasted like absolute garbage. My lemon and honey water was not the same. I like my honey lemon water tart but with the honey aftertaste and Nature Nate’s just wasn’t hitting the spot for me. But that Honeybear honey from Costco hits on such a level.

It’s nearly 2:00pm and I realize besides my lemon tea I haven’t eaten anything but nothing sounds good. That’s the weird part of losing your appetite. You think you should eat but don’t have any hunger to eat or drink. It’s just a thought like “haven’t eaten all day – should probably do that”.

Two loads of laundry washed any folded and I’m tired as hell. Back to Beckham – pretty cool biography.

Oh do I have a bone to pick. My child was left alone at a sports complex by himself. The coach concluded practice and left early. Yea…that’s not going to work for me. I’m supposed to be afraid of him because he’s a lawyer. But he doesn’t want to engage with me, yeah I put on my Karen hat and called the commissioner of the league tonight and sent him the screen shots of the conversation. I will be contacting the president of the league as well in the morning.

About Me

Hello, my name is Nina. I am a mother, wife, daughter and friend. I am lover of country music, & 80’s love ballad. I love me some karaoke! I identify as hot mess mom. I get it wrong, all the time. On the rare occasions I get it right? Even I’m shocked.

I am a working professional in the field of Compliance. I am mother two, daughter to immigrant parents, wife to a “redneck” – and proud of it, sister-in-law to the two most incredible human beings I have ever met and a niece that is just so cool but doesn’t know it.

I work too hard and play too little. I’ve always focus on the wrong thing and never quite sure if I’m ever enough. I grew up on the East Coast and was a latchkey kid in the 80’s and 90’s – I dodged the sketchy people on the walk home and tried not to end up on a milk carton.

I went to a very privileged Boarding School on the East Coast and college after that. (So yeah that’s exactly why this journal will be riddled with grammatical and spelling errors. On the days I feel good, I’ll type it out. On the days I don’t feel good it’ll be voice to text. I can not be held liable for the things Siri puts in as my “voice”. ) Graduated on a Friday and started Fleet Bank on a Saturday. I hustled my way through the midnight shift at DHL and hustled and hustled and hustled. I knew nothing except the hustle. (As I said, I’m a hot mess mom).
