Last night I was eating my chile dog (hadn’t had one of those in years, thanks for the suggestion Roselle!!) and Silas wanted some. So we captured it on video. I almost didn’t post this because I was horrified at my lousy posture and scary chewing but then I thought “do I actually care what… Continue reading I DO IT!!

Pent Up
The past few days I’ve been feeling kind of pent up. It’s a weird feeling, like I wanted to freak out all over the place. I eventually gave into last night and just got really hyper…manic much?? *sigh* it was another one of those flashback thingies I’ve been getting, almost like that part of my… Continue reading Pent Up
I Should Be Cleaning and Not Writing So Much!!
Holy cow it’s 3:30 and I haven’t blogged. I was letting Ikey slurp away at my bossoms while talking for hours on the phone with Jill. We hadn’t had a good, long phone call in a while. It was much needed. Ikey sucked for over an hour, but there wasn’t much milk. He hardly ate… Continue reading I Should Be Cleaning and Not Writing So Much!!
Thursday Thirteen #7
I have no idea what to do for Thursday Thirteen today. I’m just not gunna do it!! I feel like I’m on the up and up. I was a bit down but today I went for a walk which is a very good thing. Haven’t done that in ages. I’m shaking I’m so hungry. Ike… Continue reading Thursday Thirteen #7
Happy Birthday Isaac!!
Ikey is three months old today. Man I wish I had a birthday every month. That’d be so cool. So now I guess I fill you in on all things Ikey. Right now he’s sitting in his bouncy chair in a stripped onsie that his cousin Cornelius wore 10 years ago. The bouncy chair almost… Continue reading Happy Birthday Isaac!!
My Little Problem
I have this little problem that becomes a really big problem in certain situations. The formal name for it is adult ADD but I don’t like using it. Whenever I talk about having ADD everyone gets quiet. Family members especially. No I haven’t been formerly diagnosed with ADD. My counselor and I came to that… Continue reading My Little Problem
Mugs
This is my plea. Stop making mugs, stop gifting mugs. I know it’s tempting but resist the temptation. Lets boycott the over production of mugs and the people who gift them. If they stopped the mass mug production we’d still have enough mugs on Earth for at least 100 years. I think. Stop the mugs.
Scars and Scabs.
About 5 years ago I was on my way to getting super duper depressed. This depression lasted quite a while, I was in agony, my skin was uncomfortable..literally. I tried drugs but they made it worse. I would sit in class in College and pinch myself to cover up the pain inside. I failed almost… Continue reading Scars and Scabs.
I’m Famous??
The other day I gathered my courage and stepped on the scale. I haven’t been a good eater lately I must confess. When there’s this much chaos in my life I have a hard time staying controlled in all areas. So I’ve been eating poorly. I was very surprised when I stepped on the scale… Continue reading I’m Famous??
Mostly Photos
I got a little excited yesterday. I was trying to figure out how to make my dragon tree sprout more branches and whatnot and I got into pruning and then I just went a bit scissor crazy on my house plants. I’m so excited though. I love caring for my houseplants and actually they love… Continue reading Mostly Photos

Mung
I have a sensory experience that I’ve set up for you all. This requires no tools and you’ll actually get to SMELL Isaac. Who’s excited? Let’s begin: take a finger and insert it into your belly button, now move it around and create some friction for some heat. Do this for about and minute and… Continue reading Mung
Who Are You People?
I love 2″ faux wood blinds, they’re beautiful. They’re nestled perfectly into my windows now, blocking out the sun and the people who’ve been spying on me while I’ve been nursing these past 20 days. Issac is happily munching on my right boob and I have a little bowl of Oreo ice cream that I’m… Continue reading Who Are You People?
Guilt
Why does being a mother involve guilt? Is it the guilt that drives us or the love? There’s nothing worse than non parents pointing out your faults as a parent. I don’t feel horribly guilty. My kids are going to have a way less stressful childhood than mine so I know they’re ok. Hopefully they… Continue reading Guilt
BLUE WALL!!
Paint is going up and my blue wall is painted and it makes my eyes do a happy dance. It’s sooooooo pretty. I’m semi concerned about my sandy brown color in the daylight. It’s kinda on the lightish side and perhaps a lacking a little in depth. Although, in the rooms where it doesn’t get… Continue reading BLUE WALL!!
