Hey, welcome! Good to have you here. Hopefully you have a sense of humor (sometimes dark, sorry) and the patience of a saint because the only thing I can guarantee you is that this is a one-way ticket on the hot mess express.
My name is Kim. I am a 34-year-old single mama to three wild and crazy kids. I work in communications full-time from home, which was always my dream (I wanted to homeschool my kids at one point), but sometimes it takes a global pandemic for you to realize your dream may have gone better in your head. We also have four pets...two old dogs, a chinchilla and a hedgehog. You read that right. I probably could have just made this intro shorter and more to the point with, "Hi, I'm Kim. And I'm nuts."
But I digress...this last year has been a doozy on us all. But it's offered so many opportunities we otherwise wouldn't have had. I would have never been able to homeschool my children otherwise. And now I know that I am most definitely not the best person to formally educate my kids. They would be better off watching Netflix for a year rather than a repeat of last school year. I mean, there is educational programming on there, right? Thank God for teachers!
I also know there were families who experienced true heart-wrenching, unbearable loss during this last year, so by no means intend to minimize anyone's pain or experience...
But for those of you with depression, anxiety, panic attacks...holy hell, this was the worst.
The actual worst.
I failed the juggling portion of PE in high school. And I for sure failed it when the coronavirus hit the giant panic button across the globe.
The only thing that really got me through it? Laughter. And chaos. And boy, did we have plenty days full of those while cooped up for over a year.
I will recount some of those stories here. Some are so ridiculous, they deserve a second read, so if you are already my friend in real life...you're welcome.
And if you're new...buckle up.
:)
