I am now a brunette. I couldn’t really re-do my hair without over processing it, so I went dark. Real dark.
It’s fun. It’s like trying on a whole new attitude and style. I’m reminded of the time in High School when I dressed up my really conservative - people pay big bucks for this kind [...]
My dad called yesterday. Between Maddie’s screaming for “clicky shoes” and rescuing Christian from dangling off of the stove, I heard him say “So, do you feel refreshed?”.
Um, no. I realized last week that mom’s don’t get vacations. At least not while their kids are this little. I don’t mean that as a complaint but [...]
After thoroughly embarrassing myself and my husband in my last post (*Update 5/5/08 - I deleted that post after too many of my husband’s coworkers mentioning to him that I seemed like a crazy woman*), I swore I would never post emotionally again.
Yet, here I am. An emotional poster and an emotional eater. Awesome.
I’ve been [...]
What’s worse than being awakened by the need to fling yourself over the toilet and wretch non existants?
Realizing that you have 20 minutes to shower, dress, wake the kids, dress the kids, feed the kids and drive 15 minutes to your OB apt.
What’s worse than that?
Showering, putting on make up, dressing, sweetly waking the kids, [...]
Things have been much better between Dustin and I since we’ve moved into our new home. It wasn’t until a couple of weeks ago though that I actually considered it that way. We’re still emotionally bruised from last year, but our arguing has definitely changed for the better.
When we were on our [...]
Do you blog in your head? I do. At night, Dustin will ask me what I’m blogging as I lie in bed with my eyes closed.
Lately, I’ve been blogging about our marriage, but you wouldn’t know that since, it’s … well, all in my head. The sucky thing is, now that I have the time [...]
Life is never perfect.
Well, there was this one moment on my honeymoon when I fell asleep on the houseboat with my skin tingling from the afternoon sun, a nice wine buzz and a heart so full of love I think I might have been floating. But apart from that moment, life never totally slows down. [...]
One of the things I love about my husband is his need for simplicity. If his hair needs a trim, he bypasses the barber and shaves his head. If it can’t fit in his pocket, he doesn’t take it. If it has more than 3 buttons to push, you don’t need it.
In [...]
It’s 6:30 pm, the kids have just gone to bed…
Our crazy dog barks.
Me: What was that?
Dustin: I was throwing the ball at the freakin’ dog and missed. I swear, if she wakes up the kids…
Me: It’s a good thing I know you can’t throw worth a darn, otherwise, you’d appear to be violent.
Dustin: [...]
People pleaser checking in. I’m such a people pleaser it actually makes my stomach sick. I’ve had most of our furniture listed on Craigslist because 1. We don’t want to move it 2. I want new stuff!. I’ve been dialogging back and forth with this lady about some bookshelves I’m selling. [...]
