About Mrs. Chaos

Hi, I’m Mrs. Chaos!

I’m a middle school teacher, a mom of three girls, and a semi-functioning adult who still occasionally hides in the pantry to eat snacks I don’t want to share.

My life is a mix of lesson plans, laundry, group chats I’ll never catch up on, and the constant question of “is this normal?”

I’m equal parts responsible and slightly unhinged. I thrive on routines and to-do lists… and then immediately ignore them when something more chaotic presents itself. I care deeply, overthink everything, and can find humor in situations that really did not come with a punchline.

My sense of humor leans dry, a little dark, and just self-aware enough to keep things interesting. I’ll laugh at things I probably shouldn’t, say the quiet part out loud, and commit fully to a bit (even when I should absolutely stop talking).

Somewhere in the background of all of this, I’m also learning how to move through grief. Trying to find light where I can, even if it’s small, a little sarcastic, or held together by a joke that lands just enough to get me through.

At the end of the day, I’m just figuring it out as I go. Doing my best, lowering the bar when necessary, and hoping no one looks too closely at how everything is actually getting done.

I don’t have it all together.

But I’m here.
I’m doing it anyway.
And somehow… finding the humor through it all.
