Welcome to Attack of the Adulting years

As a child everyone says they can't wait to grow up......well why don't we go on the jacked up journey that life has thrown at me since turning 18. I swear the shit gets crazier and crazier every single year. Buckle those seatbelts.

Turning 18

When I turned 18, it was a little different than most people. I was 6 months pregnant with my daughter. I turned 18 on 6/6/06. Yea that should have given it away that it was gonna be one of those days LOL. The very next day I found out I was pregnant with a girl. That was super exciting because there wasn't a girl born in my house since me. My 2 younger brothers were WILD and hyper as can be. The saying "boys will be boys" was a true statement living in my house. So knowing I was having a girl was a breath of fresh air. The day after that, 6/8, I graduated high school. I like to give Sierra ALOT of crap recently because she walked across that stage with me and then had to go back and do it again in May of 2025 for herself. There was so much just flat out shit that surrounded the rest of my pregnancy from there. Back then McDonald's McDoubles and sweet teas were actually $1.00. Those were the days man! I tore them up while pregnant. Before getting pregnant I was a typical girl, "OMG I am sooooo fat." Little did I know- I would be sitting here at 37 and PRAYING to the Lord above to give me that body back. I'm still waiting for that prayer to be answered but if I have learned anything from the Bible- It's all in God's time......So here I am.....waiting.....and even if it doesn't get answered until I am 60----I'll be the hottest chick on the Dementia unit!! Yes, I will be wearing sweatpants that say "JUICY" across my ass.
