For the first time since before Christmas, this is a Monday that truly feels like a Monday. Between holidays and the flu and winter storms, Mondays have been weird for a while now. But this morning finally feels…normal. And honestly, I’m happy to see it. It’s a rainy day…my favorite kind of day, and I’m […]

Well for the first time in nearly a week, I slept through the night. Woo! I’m also 24 hours fever free…double woo! This flu absolutely kicked my fucking ass this week. I was the only member of my family who didn’t get tamiflu (mostly because I didn’t go to the doctor and didn’t ask for

This was…..not the best start to a new year that there’s ever been. In fact, I’d safely say it was actually the worst. It was very likely the worst New Year’s Eve midnight that I’ve ever experienced. It was a great day and a great night. Up until 11:30pm. And my sister. My fucking sister.
This week has been challenging in more ways than one. And quite frankly, I’m ready for everything to go back to “normal”. Anytime my oldest son is home from school…..it basically turns the entire time into a nightmare. An expected nightmare, but a nightmare nonetheless. Just the constant fighting and yelling and taking and all
A week of challenges. And what do I value? Read More »
How dare this day make me leave my bed. I mean, seriously. Is it so unreasonable for me to just stay in the safety and warmth of my bed all day? This is my husbands first day back at work since my son had surgery last Thursday. So, in almost a week. Making today the

Phewwwww. Well, we survived Christmas. Christmas Eve day was tough. And a bit triggering. But we got through it. I spent mostly all day wrapping gifts…as I hadn’t even started before then. It was nice to have something distracting to do on an otherwise extremely difficult day. The nighttime was spent building bikes for the

Merry Christmas Eve to anyone who does the whole Christmas thing. I am doing my best to not let the anxiety of this season get to me…and I think I’m doing a…decent job? Phoenix handled his surgery mostly well the other day. He had a lot of trouble recovering from the anesthesia, and a few

Yesterday, Phoenix turned 5 years old. I don’t usually recycle words, but I do think I said it best yesterday. To my wild one, the child with more personality than should be allowed to exist in one single body, the most literal and hilarious person I’ve ever met, the child with ZERO filter…and the sweetest
Last night before bed, I boldly proclaimed to my husband that I’m not doing a single thing until the 60 pages worth of paper work that was sent to me is completely filled out and sent off. 2 weeks ago, I got a call and was told that our family was officially accepted by the

Yesterday was a just a whole day. It wasn’t bad, until it was, and then it just…sucked. It started off more or less typically, we were preparing for my brother and his girlfriend (who we’ve never met before) to arrive. I got some major anxiety in the morning and started panic cleaning, despite having cleaned
