A day in the life of….

A day in the life of who even? A single parent? A student? An aspiring social worker? Lol at this point I’m confused. I am all of the above and more.

An Input I got a lot, was to talk about my daily life a bit more… well there’s nothing interesting there tbh. My schedule is as follows

5:30 a.m: my alarm rings. But I don’t wake up until 6 lmao, please I can’t come and kill myself. We get ready and that consists of mainly me repeating myself and trying not to lose my shit at 6am in the morning.

I drop off the center of my universe at school and head to work. I work with kids. I know, somebody pinch me. I leave mine to go work with more. My day also mainly consists of me repeating myself and trying not to lose my shit the whole day because let’s face it, getting on your nerves is what these midgets do best.

I pick up the center of my universe at 4pm, you would think my day ends there, nope it doesn’t. It’s time for entertainment. That means spending some quality time. Either we chill outside some more because he has eaten, slept and gotten a snack at school, so of course he is energized, or we bake because somehow he has decided that baking is his new thing now. Whichever option he feels like doing, nothing is beneficial to me because who cares about me anyways as long as baby boy is living his best life.

We get home mostly around 6pm. The center of my universe has to eat, shower and prepare for bed. We pray then it’s probably around 8. I tuck him in. He doesn’t fall asleep immediately, he comes knocking at my door too many times because he can’t sleep since he napped in the afternoon. On some days I can’t be bothered and he succeeds in sleeping in my room, on other days like today, i don’t give two shits because why did I spend so much money furnishing your room my guy, you better go there and enjoy yourself.

Now where do I come into the picture, you may ask? Right now. It is currently 8:55pm. It is quiet. I haven’t eaten but I will. I’ve spent too much time on this couch rethinking and reconsidering all my life choices. I’ve journaled a little bit. I’m just going over my day in my head.

Work was hectic and on days like this, where I feel really exhausted, I cannot help but feel sorry for myself and focus on all the things that could have been had I done this or that differently. Yeah I know I’m just being ungrateful while also being human. I am so tired. I am struggling to believe in that Isaiah 41 I always tell people to read. But I’m gonna read it anyways. So yeah this is mainly what my day looks like. Ooh and I didn’t mention school because well I’m almost at the end and ain’t much to do there at the moment. I’m gonna find something to eat, shower and sleep because the cycle restarts tomorrow. Good night my lovelies.
