hey guys I know it’s been a little while since I posted and it’s kinda bumming me out. Adjusting to this new job and new hours has thrown me for a loop. But I finally feel like I’m getting used to the schedule so lucky for you that means a more consistent blog schedule!
At this point in time I plan on focusing on getting a blogging routine synched with my work schedule so vlogging is being put on the back burner for now. My first commitment is to contine Motivation Monday’s. I love the opportunity to set goals for the week and to post a less planned blog entry. I feel like it gives you all the chance to get to know me more personally. I actually plan to write and post my Motivation Monday posts while I’m working out at the gym (which I’m doing right now!) My second commitment is to post a planned and cute blog post every other week. That’s just for now to see how often I can really work on my blog it might increase but I’m not sure yet. Third on the commitment list is to get some more time with my hubby. This I’m really excited for. Since Brandon and Kimmy have moved in it’s been a bit harder to get some quality couple time. And man my marriage is so important to me. So I knew something needed to change. Now Tyler and I are going to each plan one date a month for just the two of us. I’m excited for a total of two date nights a month! I think this will be an important improvement in my relationship. Last commitment (I’m feeling really motivated today!) is to post more frequently on instagram. My goal is to post Monday’s Wednesday’s and on the weekend. So be sure to check my insta out @kylie_horrocks :) thanks for bearing with me through this inconsistent time!

I can’t believe that it’s already Monday again. The new job has been super great but it means that I have a lot less time to work on blogging and vlogging. I’m disappointed but I’m working on finding time to still include it. So my goals for this week is to reevaluate my blogging schedule. My other goal is to work on some doodles in an attempt to be a little more creative. So I hope to post some doodles next week :)
chapters 1-5I’ve just finished chapter five and I’m starting to enjoy the book. These first five chapters have taken me awhile to get through. I was at first disgusted by Aza and her gross preoccupying thoughts. I thought I’d have a hard time getting past that. While it's still bothering me, which is probably the point, the other aspects of the story is starting to get me hooked. My questions for the first chapter focus on the disappearance. Do you think Davis really doesn’t know where his dad is? And do you think Aza is starting to fall for Davis? I’ll check back in in five chapters :) chapters 6-11So I suck and forgot to stop at chapter ten. I actually just finished chapter eleven. The book took a turn I really didn’t expect with Davis giving Aza the money. I’m not sure what to think about that. I don’t have too much to say about these five chapters so let's just move on to the questions. How do you feel about Daisy blackmailing that assistant? And If you were given that much money would you have split it with your friend? Till next time! chapter 12-15Chapter fifteen is over and done with. The turn I mentioned last time isn’t actually as upsetting as I was expecting it to be. It’s lead to a stronger relationship between Aza and Davis. I really like their developing relationship and have fallen into shipping them. I also find the knowledge that Aza just has on all these microbes amazing, but still annoying and disturbing. I am struggling with guessing where this book is going which is kinda weird since I can usually sense what’s going to happen next in most novels. I guess that might be why I am reading it so quickly. I am excited to see where the story ends. My questions for this chapter are What are your thoughts/opinions about Davis and Aza’s budding relationship? And Do you think Davis father is dead or alive? Only ten chapters to go! chapter 16-20chapter 16 Okay quick interjection. I just read chapter sixteen and now am pissed at Daisy. Her fan fic is just rude. There’s no reason to so thinly veil Aza and her role in her stories. That’s all Chapter twenty has come and gone and I’m feeling scared for Aza. I wonder if some people’s mental illnesses are really this intense. I have anxiety and have lived with it untreated for years and earlier this year I got on some medication for it. It’s made a world of difference and I feel so much better. But even at my lowest before the medication I never felt as miserable as Aza. So maybe I’m ignorant but is this really how some people feel? It’s killing me to read because all I want to do is try and help her. There’s only four chapters left now and I think I’m going to finish it today as well but I’ll save my last post of it until I announce next month’s book. There’s no question for this section other than, I’d like to know what you guys are thinking of the book? And that was Turtles All The Way Down. What did you guys think? I liked the story and felt comfortable with the ending. But just comfortable. I feel like it was kinda rushed… I do like the realistic view Aza has on her mental illness. It’s not going to just go away but it will become manageable. This book was a good read and I’m glad I finally got around to reading it, but I don’t think it’s gonna make it in my top list. Thank you all so much for reading along with me!! Now for next month’s book! We’ll be reading The Sun is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon. here’s the summary Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story. Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true? thanks for reading along with me!!
today was my first day at my new job and it went fairly well. I’m super super tired and totally hangry but hopefully that’s just the adjustment phase and tomorrow will be easier. I’m really needing some self care this week so I’m going to focus on bath bombs and other pampering items. Imma keep this week short so that’s all :) enjoy my fairy wings.
To some this might be a stupid post, but to me these kids from working at the high school daycare mean everything to me. They have taught me so much more than I have ever taught them. I will always treasure so many of the connections I’ve made with the kids and the memories of them will really be loved. So since I’m feeling nostalgic, I’ll share some of my favorite memories of the school year. (Whenever I talk about the kids I’ll have to just use initials in order to maintain their privacy.)
First up is when O said my name for the first time. She was just sitting at the table eating, I was working in another group and suddenly I hear my name being yelled. I thought it was another child since O had never said my name before, but when I looked up she just yelled my name again. Just over and over. I was so excited that she said my name without my prompting I honestly cried. I spent my birthday at the daycare since Tyler was working. It was honestly the best. Having all the kids give me hugs and sing to me really made it special. This school year was also exciting because I got to meet so many new babies. At the start of the year we had five new babies. It has been such an amazing thing to watch them grow so much throughout the year. When I got my first gecko back in January, I starting thinking about bringing him to work to let the kids see. Well I brought a couple throughout the year and the kids love them! My favorite memory is having E just fall in love with the geckos. Nearly everyday she would ask me to see pictures/videos of the geckos. She loved holding them when I brought them in. I love that I have exposed the kids to an animal they normally wouldn’t be exposed to. I also really really love that E fell in love with the geckos just like me. I also want to remember all the super “Fun Fridays” I’ve had. We try to make Friday a special day of the week and every Friday this year I got to be acting manager. I really loved it because I was able to bend a few of the rules and really make the Fridays as fun as possible. Working at the high school was such an amazing experience and I am so thankful for it. I am leaving a chunk of my heart behind with those kids. Thank you to them for an amazing year. |
