We deserve love without having to perform for it. We have lost the plot there as a society I think.

Do you know what I want for Christmas? To like my body. That's all.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

The moment I hear somebody say "I know you've got a lot in your brain right now-" I know they are about to try and cram even more things in my brain. Stop doing that shit to people! 😂

Trying my best to keep up with everything and inevitably something slips through the cracks. I'll still keep trying.

Processing trauma, even the echos, is exhausting.

My therapist said that my cPTSD makes it so that I have a hard time telling my body that I am actually safe so it almost always lives in this constant state of hypervigilance. I am SLOWLY learning how to heal, but it is a long process and people are unforgiving. Nevertheless, I persist.

The least helpful thing you could do is buy me large furniture without consulting me and then expect me to figure out how to move it 45 minutes to my house WHILE I'M FUCKING PLANNING POST-SEASON. Of course nobody will help me figure it out either. Cool.

Why is it that problematic men are ALWAYS given a pass? Fuck the patriarchy.

After last night's win we are officially heading to the MAC Championship next weekend! Time to finalize the plans we have been making for the last 2 weeks! I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!! 🤩

5:30am alarm was not a welcome sound this morning. I need more sleep. 😞

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

Not even 5:30pm and I am ready to go to bed. Dishes, working, taking care of all the kids, and grocery shopping. I'm hoping everyone falls asleep fast tonight. Work doesn't end when they are asleep either. Clean up, maybe 30 minutes to myself, then back to sleep for another 5:30am wake up.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

I jokingly asked my boss yesterday if I'm scary. He said that I have a confidence that some people might find intimidating but that I shouldn't shrink myself to make others feel comfortable. As much as politics is going crazy, I at least feel like I'm finding myself after a long road in the dark.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

Trying to get better at my job and I would like to eventually get a chance to see more MAC Bands when I'm not in my gameday work mode. Seeing how programs operate BTS when you aren't in charge is pretty neat. 😊

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Of course the dog ate my dinner while I was trying to bathe my kids.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

Hearing your poor sniffly kiddo say "I love you, Mommy" at 3am after they crawl into bed with you and snuggle close will be something I miss when they all grow up.

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

I realized something last night while I was working at the game. When I am at work with the band I am able to turn off the neurospicy masking that I always do and just let my weird little heart free. It feels good to let the world see who I am after so long of hiding.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

I don't get to see the hours of practice and rehearsal time our students put in, but I get to see the end product and it is a real treat! I am SO EXCITED to help plan a killer post season for these amazing musicians!

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Tried to take a nap, kid threw balloons at me the whole time. Then I "wake" up to being buried under emails and signal messages that other people can answer. Judt give me a few days to sweep my brain clean, friends!

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Some days I feel very young and energetic and then my body reminds me that I am knocking on 40. I have a gameday tomorrow with an 8pm Kickoff time and I'm planning a mid morning nap so I can make it through! 😂

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

I'm tired of weak men running this country.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

What is it supposed to mean when your dream is spent trying to talk to people and everyone you talk to ignores you?

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Being told and shown thay you matter after feeling like you don't for the longest time is truly life changing. I am starting to feel the chains of people pleasing falling away.

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

I wish I had a personal assistant. I've not stopped moving, answering kids questions, answering/sending emails, answering messages in the fiftylevenmillion chats I am in, going to work, answering those questions, completing tasks for my boss, and getting home to immediately be asked for 10 things.

010

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Celebrate the folks you love, tell them you love them often. Life is short and hard, we should be loving each other through it.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

I am manifesting the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl for WMU this year. My students would get to meet and perform with Snoop and I heard rumors that he pays for them to travel which would be AMAZING for us! I live my job so much. 🥰

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Me: Why am I so grumpy this morning? *remembers that all I ate yesterday were 2 protein bars and 2 shakes because I'm busy on gamedays* Maybe I need an assistant who makes sure I eat 1 hot meal on gameday? 😂

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

If I were Usha Vance I'd be taking that man for everything he has after seeing him cuddling on stage with Erika Kirk. Gross. Anyone have the over under on if they get together?! 🤮

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Attending the first Halloween Parade our triplets get to participate in and it makes me so happy to see them grow! The fun little seasons of life. 🥰

If you don't put at least 2 emoji in your message are you really a Millenial?! 😂😂

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

The hardest part of my job is that there is no training manual, there is no training at all. The previous assistant left before I could be hired and nobody else fully knew how to do this job but him. So now I am left half learning the necessary things, and creating my own duties. I love it. 🥰

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Watching my former instructor and now colleague talking about jealousy and how it isn't even in her vocabulary. She just becomes better than whoever is in her way and honestly, that's some straight up queen shit. Don't drop your crown stooping to check out somebody else's. 🥰👑

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

Went and got my ID converted to a Real ID I updated my weight and the woman helping me was celebrating changing it for me and taking a new picture so much! 🥹 It was an amazing boost for the day.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

Why is it that I am prone to falling down stairs? Not to mention one of the worst weeks it could happen. Glad it wasn't as bad as the last time I fell, though!

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Another media interview today. The last ones got me doxxed, but hopefully that shouldn't happen this time. I am glad to have an amazing husband to support me, and a strong organization behind me to back us up.

When my niece tells me about how her boyfriend saved a little Reese's pumpkin that a coworker gave him so that he could give it to her since they are her favorite it made me smile and made my heart happy.

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Excuse my language, but I have worked so fucking hard for this. Truly insane to see the difference!

People sending me messages asking about mutual aid ideas that I have "Yeah! Folks could watch my kids as mutual aid so I can have a date night with my husband that wiuld be cool!" 😂

If people don't clap for you when you are healing then they don't deserve you.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

What the fuck?! WHO is paying our military if not us and WHY?!

010

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

My boss and I started the planning for a possible bowl game today and I am absolutely pumped! I know my job is going to be exhausting, but I am super excited about the possibility of taking these kids on a trip!

010

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

Sitting in my office and my boss pokes his head in and goes "Are you busy? I want to go to Taco Bell for lunch but I don't want to go alone..." 😂

010

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

It is so weird having a job where I am not anxious about going to work, or anxious about getting things done. Where my boss tells me how valuable I am to him nearly every day. It is weird in a good way and I am so grateful for it. 🥰

020

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Vibes I like to think I can pull off: Golden Retriever, Vaguely Threatening, and Fairy.

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Sitting in my office trying to catch up on clerical tasks and it is too quiet in here. 😂 There is one lone euphonium practicing further down the hallway. 😂😂

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

I can't tell you how much I appreciate working in an environment where I can bring up a concern and it is handled appropriately instead of ignored. People should be allowed to exist without having unwanted sexual attention, period!

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

I'm so tired today. Everything on my body hurts after the last day and a half of being on my feet, hauling totes, boxes of merch, tables, food, etc. I am looking forward to quiet office tomorrow afternoon.

000

Katie ❌️👑 @mamabear487.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

I've clawed my way out of the void and I am so proud of the woman I have become. I want to live again, and that is huge!
