On Monday, during a play date at the kids gym, I hastily picked up my kid and left in a hurry. I was done, over it. I called my husband on the way home and announced I was officially done with these mothers, foot down. Fuck it. Also, I proclaimed my love to him and [...]

Growing up overnight
When your child turns 1, a lot of people seem to think your child is all grown up. I didn't quite see Cora as all grown up by any means. She was still my baby with a diaper butt and a binky in that chubby hand. She turned two and I remember rocking her to [...]
Getting Comfortable
I remember the days when writing was my crutch, my life support, and my way to make it through the day. The words would pour out of my fingers and it was absolutely healing. I really needed it in those days. Soon days turned to weeks, then to months and now that has turned to years, [...]
Learning Patience
I think one of the main things a mother will say that her children taught her is patience. I couldn't agree with this more. I have never spent so much time telling myself to stop, breathe, wait, and have patience. This moment shall pass, we will get to where we are headed, don't explode, give [...]

Removing the Noise
The husband and I just returned from 7 days in Aruba at an all-inclusive resort. Some shake their heads at me for all-inclusive but to me it means I don't pick up a damn thing in my room, I don't worry about money, I don't pay for anything, I can fall asleep in the middle [...]
A start to my day
My work day starts with a 4:30am alarm. Pending the hubs alarm, it could be as early as 3:30am. I stare at the alarm clock and will myself out of bed, always wondering why the hell the coffee can't come to me. I return to bed with said coffee and stare at the morning news. I [...]
