Recently, my husband has been going to bed at 8pm, even on the weekends. Your girl gets bored as shit.

Could I stay out and hang with the dogs? Yes, but I do that all day, every day.

My four kids are at the age where they only need me for food, money, and conversations when they want to have them.

After fighting internally for twenty-five minutes, I end up snuggling in my bed with my wiener (dog) while my husband snores away. I either read or peruse Instagram or whatever social media floats my boat that night.

A few weeks ago, I came across a fantastic Instagram page. This girl had books in every corner of her house. A little pink cart with pink books and different shades of pink decor all around it.

A green one with all green books and plants.

A brown cart with brown books and little pieces of knitted poop.

That one is a lie.

But you get the idea. It was so pretty, and inspirational.

The next morning, I tossed my 2,546,644 books on the floor and then stared at them because why the hell would my lazy ass take on such a fucking job- I mean- Oh my actual GOD.
