Tuesday is my monday... so I came here today ❤ Always feel like I am not so high capacity, because my mom was the highest capacity imaginable at a high high cost and I aim below that. But in the end, I am high capacity, too. Oh well... Thank you for this video, love it a lot!
I can totally relate to the tabs open in the mind comment. My husband is a waffle- he tackles one box at a time, then moves on to the next "waffle hole". I'm a spaghetti brain- I have hundreds of thought noodles all tangled up together, and somehow they all seem to intertwine at the same time. I think it's just how we're wired😊. You're doing an amazing job tackling everything, especially when feeling under the weather 🤗
My meal plan is written on a wall calendar. My family still asks before checking. Now I get ideas written around and in blank squares. The odd time a meal gets crossed out by someone else with their idea written in. When they do that, they know they will make that meal. We have been doing this for years. Last time I visited my eldest, I saw a print out with meal ideas on their desk. Some crossed out. Some hand written in. Proud Mom moment…💕☺️
Mindy, I always asked my mother about what we were having for dinner before I left for school. The reason was because she was such a wonderful cook, I looked forward to that dinner the whole day. So take it as a compliment that your kids want to know - perhaps it means that they really look forward to your cooking!
Loved the meal plan posted on the fridge lol! When my kid asks what we are having WHILE I am cooking, I don't know why it makes me go "ahh" so I made a point to say "dinner" and "food" because it just overwhelms me if I go into the details! 😂 lol glad I'm not the only one who gets frazzled at that being asked all the time
Thanks so much for this video. Well said. I remember so clearly when our daughter was growing up, I was running my own Personal Chef business and after cooking for others every day the most dreaded words from Emily ‘What’s for dinner Mom.’ At first I would say ‘Food…of course.’ Then I started posting weekly menus on the fridge too. It was a game changer! I also asked the family what meals they would like for the week which really took the pressure off me to come up with all the meal ideas.
Today has been what we lovingly refer to as a "struggle bus" day, so it was so refreshing and calming to see another mom just momming along and doing her best, too. Love these videos ❤
You're not crazy - the double-stuff is now single stuff, and the single stuff is half-stuff. 😵 The gurus say that making a to-do list and crossng things off releases a little spurt of dopamine each time we line through one . . . but they forgot to mention the stress that can come from not crossing everything off, LOL. You're right though - a few months ago I gave myself permission to make a list of everything I'd like to accomplish over the week/weekend and then I just put an * by the ones that will mess up the coming week if left undone, and as long as those get done, the rest can all be carry-over if that's how it shakes out.
Yes, I feel like a hot mess all the time wearing so many hats. (Wife, mom, city manager, church volunteer, friend, surrogate mom to cousins, community volunteer…) My husband doesn’t get it. I find it so hard to say no and get things done but I do. I am too hard on myself. I’m working on self care but it’s so hard. Without my faith, I’d fall apart.
Everything is shrinking! The one that surprised me was toilet paper. It isn’t as wide as it was. There is more of the holder on the sides. Thank you for being so real!
My goodness this weather in Oklahoma! It was literally 91 degrees last Thursday. Just ridiculous! 🤣 also yes I do think the Oreos that are double stuffed look more like regular. For this reason we now buy the mega stuffed Oreos! Thanks for the video! Love these!
I do like that we can still go to the park and be outside without shivering but I feel like at this point the summer is dragging on too long! I’m sure come January I’ll be complaining that it’s too cold 😂
I appreciate the ordinary! There can be such a false idea of what normal is that can set everyone up for failure and feeling less than in our lives. My life is definitely not Pinterest worthy!
Good morning - I too am a high capacity person, have been my whole life. It is exhausting. Just sent my regards for two things this week, because as I continue to push myself my asthma has decided to remind me who is really in charge. (A long way to say I GET IT). I really like these vlogs, reminds me that I am not the only one who always feels like tomorrows list is more daunting that today's. Funny part is that I will likely need a course of steroids which will amp me up and I will get all the list stuff down before I crash in a few days. Life is funny like that.
I am a high capacity person too, but even high capacity engines will burn out if overworked. I'll be going along just fine, doing the juggle, and then get clotheslined by some relatively benign thing. Some of us are Marthas when Mary is what's needed.
That is so true. I even said the other day to my husband, “I’m having a Martha moment…” when I was a little exasperated and wanted to take care of everything. 😂
I, too, am a mom with many tabs open. I work part time, my husband works swing shift, and out two boys are in multiple activities. My dad also passed away a few months ago and myom is a state away. We go and hep her with things pretty often. Yes, oreos have shrunk. I can't buy them. They are my favorite prepackaged cookie....I will eat them in a matter of days! Fall can't here fast enough! We have had yo-yo weather as well. I want FALL!
In my experience, men have 1 browser tab open, women.... too many to count. The "double stuff" are now regular, the regular are now half. Like we wouldn't notice 🙄 I love all of your content, and appreciate all that you do. I teach 4th grade math, science, and social studies. I have no energy for anything at the end of the day. Watching you is like listening to a friend.😊
I too am anxiously awaiting for fall to arrive in south Texas. We’ve been hitting low to mid 90s every day! I do believe we will finally be sitting in the high 70s to 80s this coming week.
100% agree that Oreo is skimping on the filling. Just bought regular Oreos and there is a tiny thin layer of filling, 100% less than they used to have and the double stuff look like a regular Oreo. What is this world coming to!😂
Agree 100% about the double stuffed Oreos. Glad to see someone else point this out! 😂 My husband and I had this conversation a few months ago when we bought a package and were surprised at the change. Always enjoy your videos!
This is my first comment ever on TH-cam, aside from all the tasks we do. What about all the emotional support mothers deal with? I feel as though moms are every person in their households' emotional dumping ground.
That can definitely be the case. Sometimes the bulk of that falls to me because my husband is in a difficult or busy season, and sometimes it’s him that carries the brunt of that task. I once heard it explained that parenting/marriage isn’t actually 50/50 most of the time because parents and husbands and wives are people, too. Sometimes I only have 30% and he picks up the other 70. Sometimes it’s reversed.
Did I hear you right that you only wash your hair every 3 - 4 days???? Wow impressive with in 24 hours my thin hair is SOOOO oliy I have to watch it each day
I find that the kind of shampoo I use makes a difference. When I use less expensive shampoos, which I do from time to time, my hair gets oily faster. When I use a pricier shampoo (like living proof…which I find on clearance at TJ Maxx because it’s too pricey at Ulta 😂) I can go a little longer between washes. That may be just me.
I love this style of video. I appreciate your honesty and genuineness.

I agree with about the double stuffed Oreos, you're not crazy.
Love this video, it's not boring, it's relatable and I appreciate you sharing. ❤
Keep doing what you’re doing. Really enjoying the conversation style!

Okay, that is a perfect illustration!
Love that your real please never change~God is good
Oreos, The Conspiracy. Definitely yes.

I love this channel and these vlogs! So Glad you brought it back! 😊
High capacity person. Wow is that relatable. Thank you for always being so candid and real on both of your channels.
Yes that Oreo does look normal.
You’re so right about those dang Oreos!! Craziness 🤪
Loved the meal plan posted on the fridge lol!

I truly enjoy your Vlog, It's simple and real.
I love the casual, down to earth, honest feel of these videos. I've also thought the same about the oreos.

Love these videos ❤ it is what originally drew me to your channel. Being completely honest, normal… feels like I’m hanging out with a friend! ❤
Thank you for the video!
I REALLY like your longer hair, before you commented on it I was thinking to myself how good it looked!😊
Thank you!
Thank you Mindy. Great vlog!

I've quit listening to the gurus!!! 😂😂😂

Always busy, it is good.
Love your hair longer, love your realistic approach to life. Love watching both your channels. ❤️❤️❤️😊👍🙏
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
I appreciate it when TH-camr's heart or read my comment. I understand some get so many comments. Thank you for all you do, Mindy.
YES!!! I thought Oreo had shrunk the double stuff too! I also thought i might be mistaken, but now i have confirmation from you! 😊
Add another hat weather lady. Lol... love the video, hppe your feeling better.
It's 50 today. Last week we were in the 80s Forcast looks like fall is finally here! Yay🎉🎉
Everything is shrinking! The one that surprised me was toilet paper. It isn’t as wide as it was. There is more of the holder on the sides. Thank you for being so real!
Oh that’s interesting! I would never have thought that about TP. That’s pretty sneaky on the manufacturer’s part 😂
I had collected some for a friends daughter who was making Christmas poppers for her class and found one when I started thinking is this roll short?
Things have definitely shrunk!!
My goodness this weather in Oklahoma! It was literally 91 degrees last Thursday. Just ridiculous! 🤣 also yes I do think the Oreos that are double stuffed look more like regular. For this reason we now buy the mega stuffed Oreos! Thanks for the video! Love these!
It was 86 the other day near Memphis 😂 84 today I think. I love it though
I do like that we can still go to the park and be outside without shivering but I feel like at this point the summer is dragging on too long! I’m sure come January I’ll be complaining that it’s too cold 😂
@@jamiestanley9234 I hate winter that's why I'm not complaining 😆

Sorry to hear about your dead. That adds a whole other layer of complexity.
@@seemindyvlog4834 thank you
Same❤😂 one task I can't stand if I dont get done is litter box bahahaha we have 3 indoor cats sooo yeah haha
I've always had tons of cats. We are down to only 4 inside now and it's so much easier 😂

My mom taught mostly 5th grade, but she said 4th grade was her favorite. She only taught it for probably 4 of her 22 years.

The Double Stuff does look thinner. ☺️

The regular ones look like they barely scraped anything on them!
Okay, glad I’m not the only one who noticed!
@@seemindyvlog4834 my kids accused me of trying to slip in generic😂.
Oreos have shrunk! Double stuf is like the original!!! And there are hardly any in the package! it’s so wrong.

Ok tabs I open always 😊😊😊
Great job’ keep the menu on there cz
Hi I I
I😊😊😊
Yes they have shrunk the weight volume in the bag has changed! Makes me mad.
Mindy, I am looking for your corn bread recipe with sour cream. Can you send me a link to that video?
Double stuff is now regular stuff. Regular stuff is now scrawny stuff. Thanks shrinkflation.
“Scrawny stuff” 😂😂😂
You missed an opportunity to use an office space clip! Does someone have a case of the Mondays!?
Ha!
🎉
Oreos are getting smaller filling. That's for sure.
That is Not double stuff..and I don't eat or buy oreos anymore. Which is how I know they have definitely changed
