Its a darling mess

My grandparents nicknamed me “Little Darling” and “Pa’s Mess” when I was just a toddler. Talk about foreshadowing! I’m in my mid-30s now, and they still remind me on occasion, who I really am at my roots: a Darling Mess. My life is in a constant state of organized chaos. I’m a type A person at work or school, but a type B mom at home, raising two neurodivergent children (Bug and Boo) with my Type B, sometimes C, spouse (Darling Husband). I’m trying- at least most of the time to maintain my home, homeschool my children, eat healthy, stay hydrated, exercise, process trauma, manage my chronic illnesses (POTS, lupus, asthma, multiple allergies and sensitivities, including an airborne latex allergy), and most of all, hold onto my faith in God. I like to write poetry or creative pieces, when I have spare time, and journal for my mental health. I also like to imagine myself as a Superhero whose kryptonite is a latex balloon; knowing a single balloon can kill me is far more fun that way. I hope this blog becomes a cozy corner where we can drink our coffee (or tea) and chat about life’s ups and downs with a sense of humor, a darling bit of sass, and always, a lot of mess!

Many blessings to you,

Darling Mess
