Monday Mornings
They seem to be the most challenging. After spending the weekend with Adam, he doesn't understand why I can't stay home with him. I end up cuddling with him for just five more minutes, until I get myself in trouble with being a little late getting to work. It's such a great feeling though to feel that wanted.

You know me...
I'm always trying something new and trying to "recreate" how I take in the world around me. I always hearing how you shouldn't identify yourself as "insert child's name here" mom. Well, guess what. That is a good part of who I am right now. So, I thought, why not embrace that?! So I'm going to try and start putting that stuff into writing. We will ( Read more... ) -
Two cats, koolaid, and Godiva chocolate...
My life has become an interesting combination of things. I am sitting in bed getting ready to go to sleep. It has taken both C and I took get little one to bed. I am looking at the room around me and it occurs to me how random the things I see. I have Charlie and Baldr sleeping on the bed with me. One has to be touching me at all times, the other ( Read more... ) -
Thoughtful
I felt like writing the other day, you know, the traditional way with pen and paper. I have hidden my journal from Adam, so he wouldn't eat it. (He likes to eat anything that is paper.) Anyways. I have done such a good job at that...that's right, you guessed it, I hid it from myself. I can't find it. :: shakes head :: silly me. I got some looseleaf ( Read more... ) -
CLUTTERED LIVING ROOM...AND ITS OKAY
SINCE HAVING ADAM I HAVE LEARNED TO LET GO OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE NORMALLY BUGGED ME BEFORE. FOR EXAMPLE, I HATED CLUTTER. EVERYTHING HAD A HOME AND THAT IS WHERE IT RETURNED WHEN WE WERE DONE WITH IT. THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS, TILL ADAM. HE ISN'T EVEN CRAWLING YET AND HE HAS HIS TOYS AND STUFF ALL OVER THE HOUSE. BEING USED AS WE GO ( Read more... ) -
Random Thoughts
In an age of job insecurity, its important to remember your coworkers and employers/employees. Remember what everyone is feeling and thinking, keeping in mind that actions and words can be misunderstood. I have found that many people so worried that they will lose their job they tend to see every mishap or conversation as a chance they will be let ( Read more... ) -
Stolen Moments
I have been learning first hand what it means to have stolen minutes to yourself. It's very hard to find time for yourself when you have a little one, especially one that is not able to entertain themselves yet. Or is needing to be held, rocked, well, anything that the little one needs. Adam is 3 months old and can be a very high maintenance little ( Read more... ) -
So much in one year...
It is someone's birthday this next week, and it is a reminder to me how quickly things can change and life grows. On her birthday or around there my life was changed dramatically and it would never be the same again. I type this as my little one sleeps softly in his crib. He has become such a joy to us, that I can't believe I smiled this much ( Read more... ) -
Tadpole Update!!! Now on Baby Watch!
I had my routine appointment yesterday. It turned out to be a little more than routine. My blood pressure was a tad bit high, so they did a NoStress Test. Let me tell you, that is not a no stress test for the mom, that's for sure. Most of y'all know my aversion to small spaces, the room was a freaking closet! It small and stuffy. Not to mention the ( Read more... )
