Outcome
This photo is the outcome of a "selfie", taken off my phone which was stuck in the side pocket of my purse sitting on my car. The camera was on a 10 second delay. The big "cheeser" smile was because a lady walked by & asked if I needed help with anything. Lol "No, just taking a selfie!"

Coach Bull
Yesterday, Bentley played in his second soccer game. We lost "ugly to 0". The other team had a militant coach and it was like kindergarteners on steroids. We lost 12-0. The PERFECT scene from a childhood movie depicts the scenario on the field perfectly but as I reviewed the clip on YouTube I was astonished how inappropriate the movie really was! haha
The scene in the movie was with Coach Bull. I probably shouldn't have been as worked up as I was but my competitive nature couldn't help it.
3-7 is the new 8
School started back in August. We have been in session about seven weeks. It's been tough. I started a nearly full time job that day, too. I have been working out of the home, trying to keep my vinyl business going, and going to college full time still, too.
Bentley started kindergarten and that's been a tough road. He cried every morning for the first three weeks straight. The fourth week clicked and he started walking from the car into the school on his own. Fifth week regression occurred and there were more tears. However, the sixth week was amazing and we even started dropping off at the big entrance near the cafeteria! All is well there.
He started playing soccer too this fall. The first two solid weeks he & I watched from the sidelines. Then, the coach got him out on the field during third week practice and that was the end (… or the beginning). He has played every game and practice since then & loves it!!
I haven't had enough time and mental capacity to blog since school started. It has been a really tough transition. I LOVE my new job. I love doing vinyl, too (and I need the money still), and I love school! The problem is that I am not capable of doing it all. I am getting up at 4-4:45 every morning and going to bed usually by 10 but sometimes as late at 1am. I have had several 3 hour nights of sleep. Hence the title of my post: 3-7 (hours of sleep) is the new 8!
This is a really dark time for me. I absolutely HATE my situation right now. I strive to find happiness and that seems to come more easily during the week when I'm in a strict routine and working as hard as I can. Weekends are killing me. I have suffered depression a lot on the weekends. I hate it. The situation is so heavy. I have pondered what can be dropped from the 3 main responsibilities: work, work, school. Nothing can go. I need more time. I hate that I have to keep moving "through" this. I want it to go away. I want to just work my vinyl company and do school, even though I love my new job and the people I work with.
