Running Around Like a Chicken with Its Head Cut Off

-

If I had a better name for this post I would have used it, but I don't, though the title still fits how I feel this week.

Monday I was supposed to go to work at one o'clock since it was the last day of break for the kids that I nanny. But the mom had to switch part of her work schedule around and ended up taking the day off, but forgot to call me ahead of time. So I ended up getting the day off.

Tuesday (Yesterday, depending on when you are reading this), I had school all day and then I had to go to work after that. I didn't get home until closer to 8 p.m. Since it was AJ's birthday yesterday I quickly ate the \Italian sausage and french fries, that my family had saved me for dinner, before we sang to him and had dessert.

Wednesday I had to go to work at 10:30 because the dad had to go in to work early and the youngest kids that I watch is doing part time school right now. So I stayed with her for a little bit before I had to drop her off at school. Once she was dropped off I went to the closest Panera Bread and stayed there for a while before having to pick up the two younger kids from school. After picking up the two youngest kids I had to drive over to the school that their older sister goes to and pick her up from after school soccer practice. Then we grabbed McDonald's for dinner and then I dropped two of the kids off for their Catechism class.

Tomorrow/Thursday I have to do more running around, because I have school and then I have to go to an acupuncture appointment before going to pick kids up from school. Thankfully after picking up the kids I can take them home.

Friday is the only real slow day that I have this week, because I just have a doctor's appointment in the morning and then I don't have to go to work until the kids get off of school.

And that is why I gave this post the title that I did. So even though I am not a mom I know what it feels like to be running around all over the place.

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
