a constant struggle to become an adult

halloween. too much alcohol, and too many kinds. as a whole, i had a pretty good time. in the moment, i enjoyed the company, familiar faces, and random passing of time. ezra barfed, passed out, and so did i, but later in the evening. thankfully, i no longer attract drama, in the direct sense, i only hear about it. i am quite relieved that is no longer a part of my life.

i was able to fraternize with people i hadn't seen in a while, catch up on the goings-on, and it came to me, that one of the only things people ever talk to me about anymore, is Olivia. like that's all there is to me anymore. thankfully, an external sourse verified that i am, indeed, more than just a mom. the drunk-brain was about to think otherwise, which wouldn't have been good.

so i woke, with a headache, and the knowledge that anything in my tummy would make me barf, again. even water. so i take a tums? yeah, i was all fizzy. don't reccomend it at all. but pot, yeah, that was the life saver. settled the tummy, i was able to drink my vitimin water, and i napped a little in the car, then took over driving home.

the rain was so bad this last weekend, what normally is a 1 hour drive (plus a little) was just under 2 hours. the puddling on the freeway was terrible, and visibility was pretty bad too.

if you haven't voted yet, you totally should.

Of course you're more than just a mother. But from what I've heard (as I have no personal experience) is that so many people lose themselves so their labels are: mom, wife, their name. You can't put yourself last and I really don't think you do, which will help Ollie become an amazing person. I think it will encourage her to always be herself because that's so very important. The labels I grew up with are ones I'm still peeling off because of their harm. I was never really encouraged to be me.I have no doubt that will never happen with Ollie.

Also, I'm so honored that I am able to call you my best friend. You are one of the most amazing people I've ever met and you will always be Julia to me. *hugs*
