Tea Time

Welcome to Shelby-land. I am a mid-twenties female (last time I checked) who has the mind set of a forty year old. My talents include, but are not limited to, belching at inappropriate moments and being a hypochondriac. I am well in to a month now of living the divorced life and I have to say, living on beer and cheese fries is working out for me. I am keen on this whole living in my pajamas and not wanting to mingle with people thing. If it takes me longer than 10 minutes to do my hair or make-up, I am most likely going somewhere I don't want to be in the first place. Please read; the above mentioned things have absolutely nothing to do with (#momlife). It took me 26 years on this Earth and a failed marriage to realize I need to stop trying to impress people. I do not have the patience or determination to pretend to be someone I am not.

If you followed my last blog with my now ex-husband, then you know I went through postpartum depression and a series of financially risky days. I also did the whole "new mom, super in to my kid" phase. One thing I learned for sure is I am not a regular mom by any stretch of the definition. I am most definitely a cool mom and yes, that was a Mean Girls reference. At any rate, the same rules are going to apply to this blog just as they did the last. This may be a new series to my life but I promise you I'm still going to throw out something that will piss off one of my readers. Divorce has turned me in to a more opinionated person, that is for sure! Hopefully you stick it out to read some opinion pieces and relish in the divorced life with me. Somewhere along the way there will be a few collaborations with the best friend a girl could ask for, the one and only Mr. Hartmann-Hanson himself.

In the meantime, I am hardcore living inside of the "this is fine" meme with fire surrounding me. My mom said it best "Damn millennial's have no patience." A severely reduced income with the overwhelming urge to pay off all of my debt as well as attend school and be a single parent? Step in to financially independent land with me will you? I really need to go ahead and find out where the patience is stored inside of me because I am running on fumes.

Not everything is going to move when I want it to. I am well aware of the old "return is worth the wait" saying and I am crossing my fingers that this is one of those moments. I figured nearly 10 years out of school was long enough to make my return and finally decide on a degree. Who knows if I will use it but at least I am back to finding my niche.

Welcome to my big cliche of a year of change and new blogging. Follow me?
