Confessions {5.18.2017}

I confess…

… that life is completely crazy right now.  Is it just me or is end of the school year almost as crazy and busy as Christmas time?  Between end-of-the-year class parties and breakfasts with parents and summer birthdays celebrations and teacher appreciation gifts and end-of-the-year teacher gifts and preparing for assessments and preparing for graduation, Y’ALL.  It’s just insane!  And then throw in planning for Mother’s Day, planning for Father’s Day, B being out of town for a long weekend, scheduling people to keep Jacob for the week and a half after school gets out, booking our summer vacay, planning what to pack for said summer vacay, scheduling Maui for her shots so she can be boarded, booking her boarding, getting my hair done, and all of the other bazillion things that I have to do… GEESH.  I’m spent.  #CanIPleaseJustBeASAHM  I’m so ready to be lying on a beach chair by the ocean wearing this hat, which I finally ordered.  I couldn’t resist and I cannot wait to wear it! 

… that I had another post planned for today, but I just couldn’t get it done yet again.  #SeemsLikeISayThatEveryTimeIDoAConfessionsPost

… that I almost decided not to do a post at all, but I just love this little space (and y’all, too) so much, that I just couldn’t bring myself to having dead air here on the blog even if for one day.  Every time I do, I miss the interaction!  #BlogBlogBlogBlogBlog

… that I don’t like unicorns.  I’m pretty sure from what I’ve seen in the blogging world that I’m the only one, but I have never liked them, not even when I was little.  They are kind of… cheesy, maybe?  This wall hanging has been everywhere in the blogging world lately and I just do not get it.  If I woke in the middle of the night to that thing hanging over my head, I think I would hightail it outta there, screaming my head off all the way.  I am just not interested in having an animal head hanging on my wall.  If I had wanted that, I would have married a hunter.  #NoThankYou

… that Instagram is driving me insane even more than ever.  They have changed their algorithm yet again and for a couple of days, I think I fell into a black hole.  My numbers didn’t move at all and for a minute there I was thinking I had been shadow-banned.  I haven’t, and things are starting to pick back up, but I am quickly losing interest in IG because it’s just so darn unstable.  #ChronologicalForLyfe

… that due to the algorithm change, I’m seeing less than ever of the posts I actually want to see.  As a matter of fact, there have been loads of people popping up in my feed who I have never even heard of.  Apparently I’m not the only one.  One of my favorite bloggers posted yesterday about how the same thing was happening to her, so she did a spring cleaning of who she was following and now she’s always seeing what she wants to see and she’s spending less time on there.  #Amen #IThinkIFeelASpringCleaningComingOn

… that I know I sound like a broken record mentioning Instagram in every post and I apologize.  Growing IG was one of my goals for 2017, so it has been a primary focus for my blog this year.  Apparently, IG is going to make me work really hard for it.  #Werk

… that I’ve already started planning what to pack for the beach and we’re still a few weeks away from our trip.  I mean, can you ever really pack too early? #InCaseYouWereWonderingNoYouCannot

… that when I was ten my family went on a two week road trip across the United States and I started packing two full months before we left.  #YouCanNeverBeTooPrepared #MyBestFriendStillMakesFunOfMeForThatToThisDay

Well, that’s a wrap! 

Happy Friday Eve, y’all!  I hope you enjoyed these random musings instead of the dead air that almost was.
