Last night, we had some crazy storms come through. Like, hurricane force winds type of thing. So, that was fun. It didn’t end up hitting our area until around 12:30am, so I pretty much stayed up most of the night. It was a night full of emergency alerts and stress, and I woke up today […]

Well, here we are. The last day of school. Shit. Now, I love my kids. I really do. But I don’t think anyone loves the idea or the task of being home with THREE boys all day, everyday. All day with an 8, 6 and 2 year old? Ugh. Everyone annoys everyone, someone is always

It’s been another week full of business and chaos and complicated feelings. So…basically a completely normal week for me. 🤦🏻♀️ Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, which, if you know me, you’ll know I have some pretty complicated feelings about. In the adoption community the day before Mother’s Day is known as Birth Mother’s Day. And that

I don’t know what I’m looking for, but I feel like I’m constantly searching for something. Something to fulfill me. To feel less empty, to feel like I have a place in this world. Or a purpose. I really don’t know. I just feel so… empty. Or lacking. Like there’s a part of me that

The last few weeks have been…umm…how do we put this…really fucking brutal. The burnout is real, the exhaustion is insane, and I am just so…I don’t know. Tired. I know I haven’t talked about it a ton, but I’m actually doing mostly really well with the sobriety/not drinking thing. After the first 2 weeks of

Well, we’re all finally home. No hospitals, no doctors, no school (because it’s the weekend), and to top it all off – we celebrated Easter! Usually, we don’t celebrate Easter on the traditional Easter date, but we celebrate Greek, or Orthodox, Easter. It’s usually on a different week, either before or after “regular” Easter (it

Things have gone from bad to worse, and I’m absolutely exhausted. Yesterday was a day that must’ve come straight from the brains of hell, delivered just for me. On Monday night (but really Tuesday morning), Phoenix, my 6 year old, who has been struggling with an ongoing GI issue, decided to throw up a ton
Yes, it did get worse. Read More »
When it rains it pours here. And oh, is that exactly what it’s doing. My post on Thursday detailed my own semi medical emergency that I was going through, and just as I had FINALLY agreed to go to the ER to be seen on Friday…guess what happens? I get a call from my son’s

This week has been a massive variation of highs and lows, and I can honestly say I’m just so glad that it’s finally Saturday. And that I can’t wait for therapy on Tuesday. Overall, I’m feeling pretty okay this morning. I have the entire house to myself for a least a good few hours, and

The big kids are home from school today. That means I’ve got all 3 tiny monsters home all day while my husband is at work. Lucky him. It’s already been a morning, but we made it to nap time. That gives me 2-3 hours of one less tiny monster if I’m lucky. Phew. It’s just
