Turning 29.

March 28, 2013

I turn 29 tomorrow. Well, today. I’m actually writing this before the clock strikes midnight, so by the time this is posted and written, it will be March 28. I am beginning my last year of my twenties. Or the first year of a long streak of 29. I haven’t decided yet. Birthdays are always [...]

I am worthy of my job.

January 3, 2013

Since I was a little girl, I had a plan for my future. It looked like this: graduate high school, go to college, have a career, get married, and become a stay at home mom when the time came. It happened exactly as I had planned. I graduated in the top 10 percent of my [...]

Give me a break.

August 30, 2012

Since our last move, we have had a hard time with B and sleep.  Gone was our old method of sleep training. I didn’t have the heart or the energy to argue with my mother and grandmother about how B should sleep, and I just did whatever I could to get sleep to actually occur. [...]

Gaining perspective.

July 19, 2012

Sometimes I want to quit this whole thing.

Writing a blog is not easy. It seems so simple, really. You sit down and write. And that’s true.  But what if you want to do a little more with it? The more you get into having a blog, the more you realize that there’s so much you have to do. You have to make [...]

Deck the Halls with Mommy Guilt. Fa la la.

December 16, 2011

Are you aware that mommy guilt multiplies during this time of year? This is a post about how I am failing at Christmas. At Advent. At being a wife and a mother. Okay, if I am being totally reasonable, I am completely aware that I am not failing at any of these things – but [...]

Massive panic attacks of mommy guilt.

October 20, 2011

Does anyone else have massive random attacks of mommy (or daddy) guilt?  Today was one of those days for me.  I’ve spent the day so overwhelmed by own frailties that I have been on the verge of tears all day long. It doesn’t help that I fight the demons of “you’re not enough” often and [...]

Confessions.

September 15, 2011

Do you ever have several random thoughts at once, but none are long enough for a whole post? Perhaps some slightly revealing thoughts? Things you are a little afraid to reveal but you aren’t sure how to begin? Me neither. Well, these are my confessions… (if you now have the Usher song in your head, [...]
