Mercedes

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.
