The Balance

How do you balance work and home life?

I work at a high school as a para-professional. 99% of the time, I don’t bring work home with me, though there may be a time or two where something affected me and I can’t help but bring it home to journal or vent.

When I get home, it’s all about needing an hour to decompress, as I call it. Go to my room, a quiet place, and just chill. Then, I go and hangout with my baby granddaughter before her daddy gets there and after he leaves so my daughter can continue to do what she needs to do.

I’ll text my fiancé or call him to see how he is doing even though I will send him a text during my break or lunch.

Around 8pm, I start doing what I need to do to get ready for the next day and start all over again.

Great question!

Edward or Jacob?

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

Oh man, the movies or TV series I have watched more than 5 times…

SO MANY. If I enjoy a movie, I will watch it over and over. I recently did that with the movie, “Just Wright” with Common and Queen Latifa.

I will also ALWAYS watch the Twilight Saga whenever it’s on whatever streaming channel 🙂 as well as TOMBSTONE, and Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick.

What about you all?

TTFN,

Who Do I Think I Am?

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

I would compare myself to a Lioness, primarily. I am calm, cool, collected, until I’m provoked then watch out! I am also fiercely protective of my cubs and grandcup 😉

My Favorite Drinks

What is your favorite drink?

I have several favorite drinks. Well, I’m not a big drinker, but my favorite alcoholic drink would be Stella Rosa Black. I actually love it over ice.

I can’t seem to go a day without coffee. I drink a half cup at work, it’s all I have time for, but when I go home, I’ll drink another 2-3 cups of instant coffee. I do have a Keurig, but I LOVE this new electric water kettle I have. It’s so convenient. My daughter recently asked me if I wanted to sell my Keurig since I’m drinking instant coffee and I told her no. I plan on going back to the Keurig soon, LOL.

I also love Milk. sometimes I just want a cup of milk, and I use it in recipes or in scrambled eggs to make them more fluffy.

Sometimes when I’m craving carbonation I’ll drink my favorite, Coke Zero, IF I have any. I don’t normally keep any at home, but once in a great while, I will. When we eat out, I will order a Coke Zero. If the place doesn’t have any, I’ll go for a Sprite.

I drink Gatorade Zero to help assist with foot cramps and Charlie horses. NO FUN!

I also drink water through out the day, but not plain water. I have to have it flavored and I buy little flavored sugarless packets from the store, who’s ever cheaper.

TTFN,

My Life Story

If there were a biography about you, what would the title be?

If there was a biography about me, the title would be SURVIVED.

At My Age…

What were your parents doing at your age?

My mom was dancing in Heaven with the Angels and had been since I was 4.

My step mom was a SAHP.

My dad was a retired Deputy Sheriff after 30+ years. He was hanging out in his man-cave (the garage) where he has his train set up and all his model airplanes.

Sports

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I’m using the prompt today because it’s been a minute since I’ve written anything!

How y’all doing? Good I hope!

To answer this prompt, my favorite sports to watch is College football, and college softball. For Football, my teams are UCLA Bruins and Tennessee Vols.

I’m not the type of person who gets into all the stats of the players or the teams. I just believe that College football is way more exciting than Pro ball.

I love college softball. I have a hard time finding it on tv, but I love softball.

I played softball as a kid, and got as far as playing on an All Stars team. I had the best time.

I haven’t played softball as an adult. I think it would be fun, but also a little challenging because of an arthritic knee, but I still have a lot of LOVE for the game and hope my granddaughter, when she gets old enough, will play as well.

TTFN,

💜P~

Writing Prompt Question

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

The N word, I’m sure I don’t have to explain which one- but I will say it’s the one that MANY youth call each other, boys and girls.

It’s a derogatory word and just not nice.

My Younger Self

Daily writing prompt
What advice would you give to your teenage self?

I would tell my teenage self to stay focused, go on to college and get that broadcasting job you want! I’ll support you in achieving that goal, and I LOVE YOU!

MOSTLY

What do you complain about the most?

What I complain about the most is people only at work for a PAYCHECK and don’t care about their job.

It frustrates me to no end knowing that this “work ethic” that some people have is accepted by the powers that be.

It actually irritates the FUCK out of me.

Another thing I (silently) complain about is when people don’t take responsibility for their actions, or lack of actions, and then wonder why they aren’t getting what they think they deserve, should be getting or legally entitled to get.
