Mommy Day Drinks... Confessions of a"b@d"mom.
Confessing what the "good" moms won't. Someone has to...
Mommy Day Drinks
The force behind the voice:
Meet Olivia. A sweary mom of 4 (1 adult child, 2 teens & 1 preteen - PHEW lol). A wife to one lucky dude - about to celebrate 17 years of surviving each other!
A mom that's definitely been there and done that. A mom who believes in breaking the damn cycle because most of her childhood and young adult life, she was broken again and again. A mom who believes yesterday was meant to make you stronger for tomorrow, but if you need a minute to cry it out today, that's ok too.
A mom whose philosophy is; "We are more than just moms, we're individual humans dammit!"
Oh, and sarcasm & humor are what get her through each and every day!
A Professional Rule Breaker
When she’s not popp’n bottles celebrating life's small victories (because a win is a win), she’s busy working to normalize modern-day motherhood - a job that's never done in a world full of Karens.
The Truth Is:
This is my personal escape, and hopefully, it can become part of yours too. ;)
To be honest, Mommy Day Drinks was born out of desperation, out of anxiety, out of losing my fu*king mind.
The past 2+ years have been one hell after another. Between me having emergency gallbladder surgery, the Dr. nixing my small bowl during the simple laparoscopic procedure, turning it into a major surgery, several complications afterwards & off work for 3 months for recovery, being laid off for the first time in my life shortly after returning to work, a second major surgery 6 months to the date, another 3 month recovery, still no job, my husband quitting his job due to several racism issues & his employer at the time sweeping it all under the rug, the pandemic - THE FCKN life altering pandemic, finally landing a new gig, my Long lost mother found dead, my granny passing a few weeks after, being laid off yet again, still right smack in the middle of the pandemic, hubs finally found an amazing place to work, COVID hitting our home - my oldest & I get really sick, we recover and then my 2 youngest get COVID, the horrible TX winter storm, still looking for work, my daughter dealing with post COVID complications but still here I am standing tall through it all.
Some days are better than others, and then some days I don’t even get out of the bed, some days I tackle a week's worth of shit, some days I ask myself if this is my own Karma - then I tell myself fck everyone because every day before I go to sleep I consciously choose to not fully throw in the towel.
Life is full of ups & downs and sometimes the downs are far bigger than the ups, but it’s the ups we need to grasp onto no matter how small the win feels, a win is always a win baby!
So again, Welcome to Mommy Day Drinks. Buckle up, you’re in for a damn good ride and time! There will be plenty of laughter, tears, and "b@d" mom confessions to go around. ;)
