Battle Hymns of a Hot Mess Mom

One day at a time…


Another Round

Contacted an attorney to see if my case has any merits. It’s very inconsistent and feels like policy is just so inconsistent also. COBRA is going to be expensive but since 2/1 they will discontinue my benefits there’s nothing I can do. I’ll need to see if this is a qualifier for J’s insurance.

I’m trying not to think of it. I can’t control it and quite frankly the anxiety is just overwhelming. I need to be grateful that Transplant is next Thursday and is covered under insurance.

I’m re-watching Dawson’s Creekand realizing just how much this show centered around high school sex. High school Joey travels to Boston to see college AJ. There’s a scene in this episode that made me fall in love with love. I loved the scene, because it was the loudest sound: Love. This instantly transported me back to my preteen self. I was obsessed with this show back then by Season 3 they had changed the song away from “I Don’t Want To Wait” which was a bummer to me.

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).
