In my part of the world, children started back to school this week, their summer coming to an end. The pool shut down, the town quieted down during the day, and routines resumed. I, for one, believe it should be illegal to start school back up until after Labor Day. It just makes sense to this summer [...]

Triggers
When I went through my divorce 6 (6!) years ago, I fully dealt with it. I can say that I look back now and I just don't know that person. I don't know that wife, that person who signed divorce papers, the person that cried a lot of tears and went through a lot of [...]
8 Weeks Post Partum
I believe everyone will have a different experience with a newborn in their home. Some things will come easier to some than others, some moments will be better for some than others and some will have more hurdles than others. It doesn't make you a better parent than the next, it just makes it [...]
Hitting a Brick Wall
Coming up on 35 weeks and I'm not going to sugar coat this for you- I'm done, I hate pregnancy, I'm tired of renting out my body and I'm hitting a brick wall. Also, I want a cold glass of chardonnay and I want it yesterday. I have no idea how my Husband will ever [...]

When Balance in Life is Gone
You know, Preschool was so easy. You had snack time, a nap, some toys and that was your day. Maybe you learned a thing or two. Hell, being 4 was easy, it wasn't just Preschool. But Preschool was your "job." How easy. I really want to go back to being in Preschool. The life where [...]
I Get My Husband Back
The first alarm in my household goes off at 4AM. The day starts then, the Hubby moving around in the dark, Fenway following right behind him looking for her food. He dresses, kisses me good-bye and heads out. Sometimes I go back to sleep, sometimes I don't. I won't see him again until the sun is [...]
