Exhausted. Being a young mom people often ask me "how are you doing?" Well, I am exhausted. I am going to school full time, I am momming full time and I am doing the best I can. While I know I have the luxury of not having to work during this time, it doesn't make it any less exhausting. Especially as we are entering a new phase with our daughter. Ginny gets all of my attention during the day everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays (I am in class at Sam Houston State University). At night I study and do homework for 3-4 hours and I NEVER end up in bed before midnight. Lately life is going to bed around 1 am and waking up bright and early to "hot diggity dog mama" around 6 am.

Allie and Kelsee both have 5 year old children as well, but unexpectedly we all got pregnant in 2017. That was honestly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. We went through our pregnancies together, we all started back to college together and when nobody was sleeping at 3 am we had each other to lean on. Obviously, I still talk to them everyday and we FaceTime, but I miss them. I saw them 2 times a week and now nothing. I hate it. Then there is Annie. Annie's mom, Tandy and my mom were best friends. Tandy was in the room when I was born, and I was there when Annie was born. Annie moved to Lubbock to attend Texas Tech, and finally she is back home! We have been able to spend lots of time ...
