It’s Just Like Having a New Born Again

So I finally found sleep this morning at 2:20AM to get the phone call at 4:19AM that Evan was done with work it was time to go get him.

Put the dogs in the kennels and thank goodness I have an extra cause I have miss Daffnie, my brother’s dog, too till Tuesday. Silk bonnet, glasses, half asleep… mom walks to the garage, gets in the car, and goes and gets her boy.

This new routine of ours is seriously like having a newborn all over again 😂 to you moms who had babies later in life… I don’t know how the hell you did it. This is exhausting.

And honestly I think that’s what makes this hit so different for me as a mom. My Son is autistic and neurodivergent so watching him step into this new chapter of life and overnight work mode feels huge. Exhausting 😂 but huge.

And moms… we’ll do whatever we can for our children no matter what because at the end of the day it’s our job to help guide them, support them, and watch them become successful in life in whatever way success looks like for them.

By 5AM I’m back asleep in my bed except the dogs are going crazy and of course My Son wants to have a conversation and I still have to go on about my day the next day.

Sleep finally found me and it was probably the deepest sleep of my life. All of a sudden my phone starts buzzing even before my alarm. I wasn’t even mad. It was one of my friends that I have on sleep bypass and it put the biggest smile on my face. It was honestly the best message to wake up to knowing somebody was thinking about me and this new crazy routine of ours.

Then as I’m finally waking up waking up, I take my morning capsules and my phone starts ringing. Well holy shit… a new referral is coming through.

Remember all those cancellations I had for next week? Yeah… I only have one open spot left now for the entire next week.

Then I log into my system to book the client I’m on the phone with and somebody booked one of my  888 services too. At this point I’m just sitting there absolutely mind blown.

There’s just something so magnetic about finally getting to spend time around people who are like-minded and carry similar energy.

So I forgot to post my blog last night so I get that posted real quick and then I get up and do my morning glow routine and it NAD day, with my morning vlog. Then I look at the clock and I’m like oh shit… I have to go see my girl Shelby to get my eyebrows done and my lash lift.

So now I’m flying knowing damn well I’m gonna need a coffee to keep me going because this momma only got four hours of sleep 😂

So we’re having the greatest conversations and don’t worry we will be posting a TikTok of the process because it turned out really cool. Honestly this is the best one she’s done yet. Like I’m so excited for her and her growth.

I met Shelby last year when I went back to Aveda for my advanced skincare license and there’s just something so special about supporting other women while watching them grow into themselves and their craft.

So from there I’m trying to get home and of course we live in Minnesota so it’s detour detour detour because construction season is in full force 😂

Then a light bulb goes off in my head… shit, we forgot to wax my chin. I’ve also been having clients ask me if I do waxing services and I just haven’t bought a wax pot yet because I’ve mostly been doing facials with dermaplane. But you still need wax for underneath the eyebrows and little things like that so I’m like alright… might as well stop and buy a wax pot.

So I slide into the beauty supply house and I swear every person in there is complimenting my pink hair and pink nails and I’m literally looking down at my nails because they’re already half chipped away like omg thanks 😂 what is happening right now?

Then I’m walking back to my car and there’s these dudes in the parking lot getting out at the same time as me and they’re like “hey girl” and I’m like hiiii have a great day 😂 and they’re all “you too.”

So then I’m onto my next little stop.

I park my cute little baby Range Rover and this Mercedes full of dudes pulls up next to me. They get out right around the same time I do and they’re like “hey girl how’s your day going?” and I’m over here internally like what in the fuck is happening in my life? 😭

Like why are people noticing me and being this nice to me? This is a whole new level of respect. Yes, I’m getting a little more used to it now but it still feels different when you come from where I’ve come from in life. I used to feel invisible.

Honestly maybe people are finally noticing me because I stopped trying to hide who I actually am. I’m weird 😂 always have been. My life is weird. My brain is weird. I love hard and when I love people I’m fiercely loyal.

I spent way too much of my life trying to tone myself down or make myself smaller and now I’m over here just fully existing and somehow people seem more drawn to me than ever.

Then I’m walking into the store and the guy holds the door open for me. I grab what I need. On the way out two more dudes pull up and hold the door for me again and hit me with another “hey girl” and I’m just sitting there like what the fuck is happening? 😂

This is so wild to me because I spent so much of my life feeling invisible.

So I finally get home and I have a notification that I got a package. My craniosacral therapy book came so now I have plenty of time to study before my next four day class in October which honestly is super exciting to me.

So right now I’m sitting here freshening up the pink in my hair before I go take a shower and continue on with my day… and yes I still gotta wax my freaking chin myself because we forgot to do it 😂

But honestly sometimes when you’re having really great conversations you forget what you were even supposed to be doing in the first place.

And yes before anybody asks 😂 the chin is waxed, the makeup is on, the hair is straightened, and the outfit is cute.

The best part is I did it for myself. I ain’t going anywhere and I’m not doing anything. I’m literally laying in my bed watching Wicked for the first time ever 😂
