"A Day in the Life of Me (Spoiler: It Involves Coffee and Chaos)"

“Running on caffeine, dog hair, and mild delusion.”

🌅 5:47 a.m. – The Internal Alarm Clock from Hell

No alarm needed. My eyes pop open like they’re on a timer. Sometimes it’s instinct. Most times it’s a poodle standing on my chest, demanding breakfast like I’m late for my shift. I get up before the sun... but not out of choice.

Soooo where is the food, ma?

☕ 6:15 a.m. – Morning Chaos, Now with Coffee

First things first: coffee. Then I feed the dogs, because they now operate as a highly organized breakfast union. They eat. I sip and question my life choices. We all win.

Life tip: Never trust a dog who gives side-eye while waiting for kibble.

🚿 7:00 a.m. – Shower Thoughts & Sudden Ambition

In the shower, I’m brilliant. I come up with million-dollar ideas I will absolutely never act on. Today’s? “Open a dog-friendly coffee shop called Bark & Brew.” Trademark pending. Maybe.

📧 8:00 a.m. – Fake Productivity, Real Coffee

This is my so-called “golden hour.” I write to-do lists that mostly consist of things I’ve already done, just to feel accomplished. It’s called self-care, babe. Let's not forget homework that is due in less than 3 hours. OHHHH && that test right after.

🥴 10:00 a.m. – Coffee: 3, Meal: Does 1 Ensure Plus Count?

Is coffee a meal? Spiritually, yes. Nutritionally? Don’t ask me that right now. Since it is Friday, I am headed to an acupuncture appointment at the Hampton Medical VA Center for my hips, IYKYK.

🎓 Midday – School, Work, and Mental Gymnastics

Work, emails, projects… some days I’m on it. Other days, I stare at my screen like it owes me money. It’s the circle of life — with deadlines. At least I get to work at my best friend's business, Baby Bump Imaging, LLC. She is a Sonographer that started her own business last year AND IT IS THRIVING. So if you are in the Hampton Roads area, looking for some 3D/4D black/white or color photos of your little one growing, call 757. 238. 5653 for an appointment TODAY and come say hello!

🐶 4:30 p.m. – HRBT Blues, again IYKYK

Traffic time! We go. We stop. We go again. I pretend to be the alpha in this scenario, like I have control over how the people "cruise" behind me. They pretend to listen. Balance. This whole time I am "rushing" to my kiddos at home that are waiting to see their momma! I mean wouldn't you like to see some daylight? LOL, jk. It is NOT that serious ;)

🍕 6:00 p.m. – Netflix, Snacks, Regret

Dinner? Probably something I didn't have to cook. cough DOOR DASH cough. The dogs eat better than I do, well at least guarenteed HA. I zone out with Netflix and pretend I’ll be productive after one episode. Spoiler: I won’t be.

🛏️ 8:00 p.m. – Blanket Battles & Bedtime Lies

I try to go to bed early. The dogs claim the bed. I negotiate for leg room. I tell myself I’ll sleep in tomorrow. I won’t.

🐾 Wrapping It Up

My life is messy, loud, and slightly off-schedule. But there’s joy in the chaos — and if you’ve made it this far, maybe you're just as delightfully unhinged as I am. Welcome to the ride. Bring snacks.
