Battle Hymns of a Hot Mess Mom

One day at a time…

Extra

Yesterday was a haze of pain medication. I didn’t have enough in me to focus let alone recall anything. The nurse came in a hung the chemo and took it out – I as passed out. According to Dr P – he’d rather I just sleep through it. The pain is slowly subsiding making the moment to moment tolerable.

Also playing musical chairs / rooms. Apparently I am in a negative airflow room, and they need me to be in a positive airflow room whatever that means.

It is apparently a thing, I just don’t have the energy for anything so we piled out stuff on the bed and wheeled me into another room. I’m just holding on at this point.

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).
