I’ve been feeling lost, sluggish, out of it lately. I feel as if I’m in a holding pattern between where I was and where I want to be, but I don’t know exactly where I am right now. Life is going good, so maybe a little part of me is secretly waiting for the impending [...]

I feel much better now. Just needed to get that off my chest, you know, not having a therapist anymore and all. May is always a hard month and the weeks leading up to May 22 leave me anxious, teary eyed, emotionally unstable and probably not too fun to be around. Add to that the [...]

I’m feeling down today, stressed out, and anxious. There is too much going on and I don’t like it. And honestly I am tired of pretending I’m okay about it. I am so sick of feeling guilty for the way I feel. Especially about things that should be wonderful times in my life. Take this [...]

I passed my pedi test today, a test I should have probably failed! If not for wonderful savior friend C I would have had scant to go on. She saved my butt. Now I only need a 58 on the final to pass the class with a 75 but since we all know how incredibly [...]

Grrrrrr. Okay, I understand that babies typically look “gender neutral” during the first year, or until they get a little hair. Which basically translates into most babies look like boys. I get it. But next time you start to say something to a parent about their baby, or talk within ear range of the Mommy, [...]

Before I begin let me just say that any of you who knew me before the baby would be (a little) surprised at my new pleasant demeanor. I am much more calm and friendly now. Drugs will do that for you. It was a little after seven and Avelyn had just fallen asleep. I was [...]

My poor little baby is still sick with a cold. It’s one of Those Mean Nasty Dirty Downright Disgusting But Invisible Germs (shoutout to my HP group!) and she is not having a fun time. She feels awful which makes me feel terrible that I can’t do anything about it. She is slowly getting used [...]

Avelyn and I are back in Houston. We have power and clean water, for which I am thankful, but NO INTERNET OR CABLE. The cable is only an issue because the fall TV shows are starting and I won’t be able to Tivo The Office this week. This is very bad. There are few tv [...]

11:24amThis is what I’ve been hearing since 7am. A whiny baby. A whiny baby who has decided to use my love for her against me and insist on ONLY sleeping if she is in bed with me. The crib is clearly beneath her and I should know it and she is doing a damn fine [...]
