School Counselor Mama

There are some goodbyes that hit a little differently. 💔

I left my second child at college, and my mama heart is having a REALLY hard time with it. I’m so incredibly proud of the young man he’s becoming, but that doesn’t make walking away any easier.

I miss him already. I miss his voice, his presence, his random conversations, and just knowing he’s under my roof.

I know this is what we raise our babies for—to grow, to become independent, to chase their dreams. But nobody warns you how much it hurts to watch them leave.

So tonight, I’m letting myself be sad. I’m letting myself miss him. And I’m reminding myself that missing him this much is just proof of how deeply I love him. ❤️

Go chase those dreams, kid. Mom will be right here…missing you every single day. 🥹🎓❤️

24th FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL as a school counselor. 🎒☕️

I packed my lunch. 🥪
I walked in feeling prepared, well sort of. ✨
I had a plan.
I had confidence.
I had absolutely NO business feeling that confident. 😂

Because approximately 7 minutes into the day, I realized…

I FORGOT TO CLOCK IN. 🤦‍♀️😂

And that lunch I packed?
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s see how long THAT lasts. 😏

Cheers to another school year of counseling kids, solving problems, answering 937 questions before 9 AM, and pretending I have it all together.

Day 1 of 24… here we go! 🍎✏️😂

I don’t know who gets more excited… my dog or the neighbor. 😂 Tell me your pet has a best friend without telling me. 🐾

Every tutoring session starts the same way… one student logs in, and one furry “assistant” reports for duty. 🐶❤️

He has no teaching degree, interrupts constantly, and expects payment in treats… but somehow he still has perfect attendance. 😂

Does anyone else’s pet refuse to let them work alone? Tell me what your pet does while you’re working! ⬇️🐾

POV: You sit down to tutor on a Saturday morning… and suddenly realize you forgot the one thing keeping this operation running: ☕😳

Tell me I’m not the only one who’s had this level of betrayal before 9 a.m.

My facial expressions during true crime deserve their own documentary. 😂

One minute I’m convinced I solved the case. Five minutes later, I’ve accused every person who’s appeared on the screen.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who turns into a full-time detective from the couch. 🤦‍♀️

What’s your biggest true crime habit? 👇
🔎 Making predictions?
🚩 Trusting absolutely no one?
📺 Binge-watching until it’s way past bedtime?

☕ Morning roll call!

How many cups does it take before you’re ready to speak to another human? 😂

I’m convinced the first cup doesn’t count… it’s just the one that turns me into a functioning adult.

So tell me:
☕ 1 cup?
☕☕ 2 cups?
☕☕☕ 3+ cups?

No judgment here… this is a safe space for caffeine lovers. 🤎👇

The day I wasn’t ready for. 💙

My youngest attended his freshman orientation today, and somehow this one feels different. Maybe it’s because I know every “first” from here on out is also one of my last.

If you’re the parent of the youngest child… did this hit you as hard as it hit me? 🥹

If remembering passwords burned calories, I’d be in Olympic shape. 😩😂 Tell me I’m not the only one constantly hitting “Forgot Password.”
