Belize or Bust - Day 1
Wow, first of all I haven't written in here since October. I remember when I used to post to this journal daily and was a member of many groups through LiveJournal. Sometimes I miss those days or at least I miss having more personal time ( Read more... ) -
Some People Have a lot of Nerve
Maybe I'm just being unfair but I really don't feel like I am. The divorce has been final since April and I have not received a DIME of child support. First it was that Jason was still paying the rent and I figured that since he was paying the rent that it wasn't fair of me to expect child support on top of that. He had also been covering a few ( Read more... ) -
Long Time No Write
My life has taken a few twists and turns and as it turns out, a chapter ended and a new one has begun. Jason moved out a year ago and we divorced. It was hard but also it was good. I've had fewer migraines and lost ten pounds that I had been trying to lose forever. The weight has STAYED off as well, which is the main thing. I am still running and ( Read more... ) -
Home Births
I saw this article posted on someone's Facebook page today: Home BirthsBy the title I thought that the article was going to slam home births, which it doesn't but of course the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology had to make it clear that they didn't support home births ( Read more... ) -
30 Things to Stop
Someone posted this on Facebook today and I read through it three times. I am going to try to read it daily until it is ingrained in my brain. This spoke to me loudly and even made me cry for the truth of it. I only hope that I can actually stop doing these things to myself. rants/ponderings, general life stuffUgly Words
I know I'm not a perfect person. I know I have made mistakes right and left and that I am still making them. I do know that I am not crazy, I am not an evil person, just flawed. A friend recently told me that I needed to love myself and I questioned him about what that really meant. He sent me some links and even though I had been trying to ( Read more... )Bad Luck or No Luck at All
"Never ignore a person that loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep and realize that you lost the moon while counting stars." This quote has nothing to do really with my post, it's just sort of pertinent to my "marriage" and I wanted to remember it ( Read more... )Ignorance isn't Bliss
I came across this comment today, "Children under 5 should not fly, period. It's not fun for them, it's not fun for their parents, and it's DEFINITELY not fun for their fellow passengers." Excuse me? I've flown with plenty of children under five and not had an issue, I've flown with my own children under the age of five and had no issues. IN ( Read more... )Relay Experience
The Cascade Lakes Relay was a month ago and I still haven't written anything about it. Basically it went better than I thought it would go. There wasn't even a point where I was miserable, I had fun the entire time and ran better than I thought I would. Ideally I would have liked to have done better on my first leg but it was the longest and ( Read more... )Good Mom, Bad Mom
Maybe I'm stirring up a little drama with this one but oh well. I need to get it out and maybe some of you need some drama to read. It has been awhile since I have raged about my now ex-sister in law's mothering skills and while I am by no means mother of the year, she makes me look like a saint. At least I think so. The latest is that she ( Read more... )
