Nerves

I’m off to the doctor this morning for the full work up where you have to get naked and all that crap. I guess they’ll take my blood and I have an ultrasound first before all that. Ugh. I hate this part.
I am so nervous. I read last night on my bargain board about a [...]

Don’t Forget. . . Wednesday’s April Fools

Cate and I went swimming today at the indoor pool at the gym. It was really fun. She seemed to enjoy it. When Mr. Fabulous started teaching his water aerobics class though we moved to the deep end of the pool. She was so fascinated with the water slide. Brave little girl that one is!
I [...]

At Least the Sun Is Shining Today

I saw an “inspirational” story on the news a few minutes ago but to me it was just disturbing. In 1995, a mother and her 14 month old were in a parking lot when he suddenly vanished and was run over by a car. He is now a quadriplegic who is learning to surf. Um, [...]

Unmotivated

I swear I have the craziest dreams of anyone. I dreamed I was re-marrying Billy. My dress was wine colored and his shirt had no collar. His mother was ironing our clothes for us.
I woke up to find Miss Emma beside me. She fell from the bed and I screamed. I don’t think she really [...]

A Walk Down Birthday Lane

And so it was on this date in 1975, that I was born. I want to say around 8 something in the morning. I think I weighed almost nine pounds.
I am 34. Yeah. 34. Wow. Time flies.
I remember very few momentous birthdays. I recall pictures of my third birthday. I don’t have them to scan [...]

Busy Morning and Bad Parenting

Why did I leave the house wearing those black capri length legging type exercise pants? Ick. I felt so fat and puffy. I felt like every bulge was on display for the world to critique. It was not a good look. I do not feel cute in the least lately. I feel soft and squishy [...]

Worries Keeping Me Up

I can’t sleep. Again. Ugh.
Yesterday was such a good day that I’m not quite sure what’s keeping me up. I took Emma to preschool and then met a friend at Target and we walked around and talked. I got a few things I’ve been wanting to get then I went to the mall alone which [...]

Another Beautiful Day

The sun is glaring and the birds are chirping. Just yesterday I spotted forsythia and daffodils in bloom. Oh, how I love the yellow! Spring is on its way.
I can’t decide what to do today. I really should go to the gym. Guess what! I’m no longer coughing. I think I’m, dare I say this [...]

Here Comes the Sun

What a beautiful day! Finally!!!
Cate and I had a great morning. We went to the park, then the library, then the grocery store. Got Emma and headed home. The plumber came and fixed our dripping bathtub. It had been dripping for a long time. He said we have acid in our water and it’s going [...]

On My Mind

Sometimes I wonder about how I got here. My mom met this random guy at a bar in New Jersey (where she grew up) named Andy. She ended up pregnant and married to him. Five years and two kids later we were in Virginia and she was divorced. I never saw “Andy” again.
I was looking [...]
