Adrienne is precious, but adjusting to having a newborn is difficult. It really does change everything, forever. That has always sounded obvious when people have said it to me, but until now I wasn't able to fully grasp what they meant. A lot of things about parenting are like that ( Read more... )

She requires my attention all of the time, every day, and I am sore and exhausted, but I don't know how I ever lived my life without her. My life has so much more meaning now. I have been given a purpose. I don't care about myself anymore. It's all about her. If she's happy, I'm happy. I love my husband and daughter :-)

Baby shower was kind of a bust, but I am grateful for the people who showed. It was embarrassingly small (like 8-10 people including Hunter, Mom, Austin and me), but fun. I don't understand people who say they are going to come to a formal event and then don't, and then don't acknowledge it. Just say you aren't going to come, please. If you don't ( Read more... )

Baby shower is this weekend. I mostly don't look forward to it :-/ I don't like being in the spotlight, but even more than that, I am afraid that hardly anyone will show and/or it'll be lame and then I'll just be embarrassed in front of the few who did. I've never had or thrown a baby shower before and neither has my mom, who is my "host." I do ( Read more... )

Cyndi moved to GA like 10 days ago. She texted me to let me know that she got there safely (as per my request) and hasn't spoken to me since. I texted her last weekend to get her address so that I can send her pictures from the wedding. She gave me her address and that was the end of the conversation. I think it's funny and predictable that she ( Read more... )

Having an epileptic dog sucks. There is just no such thing as peace in this household. There were the first seizures, where we found out Hadley had epilepsy, and then there were the seizures due to Hunter and me miscommunicating about giving meds. Both times, she couldn't just have 1 fucking seizure... they had to get increasingly frequent and ( Read more... )

I wonder if you think I'm mad at you. I'm not. I'm just over it. When you told me (a month or so ago?) that you were moving away, I immediately went into a denial phase, then I grieved when I realized that you were really going to do this(cried for one day and was sad for a week or two), and then I moved on into acceptance. Now I am adjusting. And ( Read more... )

She only offered me $10-$10.50 an hour. I already make $10.70 most of the time, for the shift I work. I really would love to work a new job, but I need more than that. If she can't give me, like, at least $11.50, I might have to pass :-( I will, though, start looking/applying for other jobs if this doesn't pan out.
