I’ve had comments on my blog over and over again where people (perhaps intentionally), read something into what I wrote that was never there. Here’s a hint, this blog is not big enough to stir up a whole bunch of drama, so go find somewhere else to unleash your crankiness. You don’t have an audience … [Read more…]
Somehow, even in the vast internet world, I hang onto the fringes. Only a few people read, and even fewer comment. I feel like in the last couple of years, my circle has gotten even smaller. Fewer friends, less interaction, and so called ‘peers’ seem to have all but disappeared. Everyone reads the ‘top 10’ … [Read more…]
I was going to do thoughts on a Thursday, but sadly, life got in the way. Specifically, dealing with 2 kids, one who is teething and one who is on a letdown from having company, holiday sugar high, and daddy being gone all week. I think I’d rather go through sorority rush week of emotional … [Read more…]
I’m not very kind to myself. Ever. Okay until I was about 10 I thought I was pretty cool. Then I had a kid look me in the face and say ‘you don’t think you’re pretty do you? because you’re not’. That was the end of kindness to myself. I was never good enough, could … [Read more…]
The PP stands for something that rhymes with ‘lanned larenthood’. It must be that time of year again. All I’m hearing about is teen pregnancies.. and all over the radio are commercials that say ‘we didn’t use protection’ and ‘pregnancy will ruin my life’… I take issue with both of these. The second more than … [Read more…]
I spent a good bit of Saturday wondering if I was really and actually, truly dead. If everything going on right now is just in my mind, some after-whisper of the brain, slowly deteriorating– the soul trapped in a box you can’t escape? I guess it comes down to feeling completely invisible. My 3 year … [Read more…]
I’m not sure how anyone has ever managed to ‘keep’ a house. For me, it’s all about backsliding. No matter how hard I work through the week, the minute the clock ticks over to Friday night, everyone seems to go crazy and by the time I pick myself up on Monday morning, it’s like I … [Read more…]
I can’t get enough to eat. I would think that a 2 egg omelet stuffed with ham and cheese would last until lunch time. Nope. I barely made it to the kitchen. Glad there was still a box of cereal on the counter, I shoved a couple of handfuls in, and then poured myself a … [Read more…]
Last night was a bad night. We didn’t go to bed until late. I snoozed until Matt came to bed at around 11:30, so maybe 1/2 hour. Then Brennan woke up to eat. Matt was asleep, and I hear a thump from overhead. I sent him up to put Keeley back in bed. I have … [Read more…]
He opted not to go to church this morning, so the rest of us stayed home, too. Sang the required ‘leaving on a jet plane’– and he said he knew when he’d be back. I held back and let he and Keeley have some extra time together while I cleaned up a bit. He put … [Read more…]
