I’m feeling kinda blah today. We all have our problems.. struggles.. stress.. Different things in our lives that just make things a little.. Well, difficult! And sometimes that’s an understatement.
But I’m trying not to dwell on my problems. Just keeping my chin up and looking forward.. as best I can!
More importantly, I’ve been trying to make the effort to appreciate...
“Mommy, I have green boogers. I don’t want green boogers. I want pink...”
– My daughter, Aria, said this to me today. She was completely serious! She’s 2 years old… and oh, she makes me smile! <3

I was one of only four people who stayed sitting during the end credits to Harry Potter last night. [Come on, Potter fans. Really?] And so as everyone was leaving some douchey guy in a tacky wizard hat yelled to me “There’s nothing at the end!” Not in a nice helpful just-letting-you-know tone of…

A Woman Telling her Daughter What To Expect.... →
mygabe:
We are sitting at lunch one day when my daughter casually mentions that she and her husband are thinking of “starting a family.” “We’re taking a survey,” she says half-joking. “Do you think I should have a baby?”
“It will change your life,” I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral. “I know,” she…

I LOVE the smell of freshly mowed grass!!!
It just makes me happy! Probably because it reminds me of summer.. and old summer memories. Hoping to make some New summer memories this summer! Can’t wait!!! =)

I woke up to a text message from a friend I hadn’t talked to in forever. When I replied, I found out some disturbing (& interesting & just plain sad) news about someone who very nearly ruined my life & has left me severely scarred. For those of you who know me well, you probably know who it is I am referring to. But, I can’t help but feel sorry for them. And that, I cannot...

This weather is being a jerk right now! Doesn’t it know I need to drive to Keokuk tomorrow?!
I know! Me too!
If anyone is willing to drive over here, let me...
I’m in a terrible mood right now. Honestly, it’s probably best that I’m only around my girls right now. If I were around anyone else I might seriously offend them. Of course, it might make me feel better! I don’t know what exactly put me in such a rotten mood.. but I want to physically hurt someone. And I know that’s pretty sad. It’s terrible that the thought of...

True Story.
GUY: hey..
ME: yes?
GUY: nice rack.
ME: what the fuck did you just say to me?
GUY: uh.. nice bag.
ME: fuck off.
GUY: can we hang out some time? on a date?
ME: did you just mistake me for someone who won't punch you in your nut sack?
---------------- This made my day.
The girls are asleep.. & it’s just me and my baby! :)

I often wish for things to be simple.. I know that would be the easy way out.. but I’m the easily over-whelmed type.. and sometimes, simple just sounds AMAZING.
Six Weeks...
I will have another reason to breathe.
Another reason to wake up each morning. (And every few hours in the night.. for awhile at least.)
I am terrified. But I am Sooo excited!
I love being Mommy..
Before I was a mother.. I wondered often if there was a reason to keep going.
Not once has that thought crossed my mind since Jade has been born.
Sure.. I still get depressed. Sure.. I have my...
