I think....

I think someday I'll be a cute, put-together mom...

I won't look like previous blog photo with my make-up all smudgy and gross from a day without care. And my hair all pushed aside because I just don't care about that either...

I'll be cute in scarfs and outfits like my Polyvore feed shows!

But I guess I have to start remembering to take care of myself first...

In the midst of that, I've gathered up all my inner strength I can muster and began cooking good for me foods!

Things like baked chicken breasts with a dash of black pepper. Mounds of veggies (which were never really a problem). Baked tilapia filets to feast on in a multitude of ways.

*sigh*

If only these things worked over night.

Sadly, I'm beaten down by the way I've let myself go over the last six months. Why in the world would I ever allow myself to not be a cute, put-together mom!? Especially, since I'm single!?

Ay-yi-yi...

It's okay. These things happen, right? (Please say I'm right, I don't have anything else to go on)

So, at 26 years old, I think I'll figure out finally who I am supposed to be! I hope!

Anyone else go through this??? I hope I'm not alone! I hope one day that Marlee can peer at me and wonder in complete awe at how in the world I managed a full time job, school, raising her, and losing weight...cause, well, that's what I'm facing!

THE REAL LIFE MARLEE AND ME!

Yep...that's us!

Finally Friday...one week closer!

Last night, while chilling in her very cool waffle pajamas, anxiously waiting for me to start reading a plethora of books to her, Marlee cuddled with her sock monkey that we've aptly named Butthole.

Yeah, I'm -that- mom...her dad and I named him Butthole because his butt and his face are basically the same pattern and we just have to laugh at the fact that the mouth and the butthole are the same size and shape! Maybe when Marlee can talk better she'll name him something else!

------------------------------------

I've neglected to be very informant as of late...

I got the State Farm job!!!!!! This morning I took the highly uncomfortable potty test (sheesh I am a mom...potty is now a normal word for me). Now I just get to finish out my time here at Coca-Cola and enjoy 3 weeks of down time a.k.a. go-through-everything-in-the-house-time and start a new adventure!

------------------------------------

I'm finding myself more and more comfortable with wearing my odd concoctions out in public. I live in a fairly straight laced area of Colorado, so I think I stand out. But oh well! I'm happy to finally feel like me!

Now if only I could get rid of this extra weight I'm carrying around, then I'll REALLY feel like me!

------------------------------------

I bought a laptop computer! I'm terribly excited about it. But not so excited about the fact that I have to wait until March 1st to get it!!! GRRRRR...I can't wait to blog from it! :)

------------------------------------

*sigh* 2 more weeks....and my life flips again....

Oh no! She tried to pour water on my phone when i attempted to take a nakey pic of her! Adventures of the real Marlee and me!

Greek yogurt trumps milk in the moustache department! Just ask Miss Marlee!

Friday at last...

Knowing that my working world is slowly coming to an end, has made these weeks go by incredibly slow! I want nothing more than to just be done with this chapter and moved on to the next.

Ah, time, you're a torturous maiden!

Funny thought...I kind of want an iPhone simply for the Instagram app...yeah, I just want to have a bunch of fun pics to post... Like when Marlee is sporting a delicious Greek Yogurt moustache instead of milk. She's a cool-kid like that! (May just e-mail that photo to the blog...yeah, that's the long way to do it!)

I'm lately counting on having 3 weeks between jobs and I'm compiling a list already what I want to do with those 3 weeks...

Here's what I've got going so far:

1. Clean out house. Like, legitimately clean out the cupboards and donate anything I haven't used in the last 6 months!


2. READ...read the massive amount of books I have adding up on my Kindle Fire.


3. Workout. Like a mad-woman...maybe I can lose a little weight next month...

I don't think they're impossible feats for 3 weeks...but we'll see how truly motivated I get once the time hits!

Numbers Don't Lie...

...and they're bitches!

I guess my city-life will just have to wait until I'm for certain going to have a grown-up career!

I interviewed for State Farm yesterday morning. I think it went well. I should have answer next week.

I'd fall short moving to Denver to even remotely pay for daycare. I just can't do that kind of struggle. Once Marlee hits school-age, I think I can then have my dreams...but until then, I'm hopeful for this State Farm job!
