I’m this 30 year old girl, born in Texas, raised
in Oklahoma.
I married my high school sweetheart, I’m obsessed
with baking.
I truly adore my family, Baby M & the dogs.
I am strong only because of the people who do
life with me.
Today I wanted to share some bits and pieces of
Mercedes.
Here’s why. . .
I think sometimes social media paints an amazing
picture, when really, we’re all wishing for Friday and hoping to find some
extra cash in an old winter coat. . . Am
I right?
I think sometimes people think I have it all together,
when in reality, I don’t & I'm super weird.
I know it's shocking to find out, but I'm not perfect and I’m okay with that.
What I am is enough.
I am Mercedes.
Mad
Yup, folks I’m not always happy. I have road rage
to the extreme and I am extremely impatient. Ask C he’ll give you several
hundred thousand examples. I seriously try and pray before I ever touch my door
handle to my car. I don’t like being mad at drivers or mad at slow moving
peeps, but it’s a struggle.
Eager
I’m always multi-tasking, trying to check
anything and everything off of my list. Yes,
I really do make lists.
Re-run
fan
If you ever go on a long car ride with me or
could somehow get into my head phones. .. You’d know I love to repeat my jams.
Like seriously, I listened to 1 song over and over during my half marathon. No lie.
Are
you starting to feel sorry for Cody?
Crazy
I’m crazy about a lot of things. Like, why are
the sanitation wipes empty every time I go to Kroger? Why do people wait an
hour in the Chicfila drive through, when they could park and get their meal
faster? Why does Baby M not like her $300+ car seat?
Excited
I get weird type of excited. I get excited when
Pier1 has a sale. I get excited when my dog comes inside after I call his name
twice, not 10 times. I get super excited when toothbrushes are $.50.
Dishes
I’m obsessed with dishes. I also love platters,
cake stands, bake ware. Seriously, I
would buy a platter every week if I had the room for said platter or could
convince Cody I needed said platter. The
colors, the shine, the placement. Don’t
get me started on pottery or bowls, we could be here all day.
Engaged
If you and I are having a conversation, I am
engaged. I do not look at my phone, I do not drift into outer space, you get all
of me.
Sleepy
About 2 weeks ago I became a non-sleeper. I only sleep for a couple of hours, then I find myself pondering and pinteresting ... Do you know how many pallet projects I've made, in my head?
I tried to stick with the letters of my name, but
I’m also a few other letters.
I’m J
for Judgmental.
I struggle with understanding everyone’s opinion
and reasoning. I know it’s not okay and I’m working on it. The struggle is real.
I’m L
for Loud.
I’m the loud friend – laughs loud, parties loud,
has the loud house, buys the noise makers for kids – I’m loud and proud.
Basically, I’m working on me every day.
Could I work harder, yup.
I’m not the best I can be yet, but I’m making strides to get better.
Adios Amigos.
