Any time I wake up, and my day doesn’t IMMEDIATELY start with coffee…it’s not a good thing. The kids woke us up at 5 this morning…which, yes, is better than 4am…but then my husband had (yet another) horrible migraine. So even though I was ready to get up and start my day at 5…he was …
I work very hard, sometimes I wonder if it’s too hard, at respecting other peoples boundaries in my relationships with them. This is especially true in high stakes relationships, like with my birth sons parents…but is also true to my other relationships. My marriage, my friendships, in therapy…all of them. I am really good at …

This morning has not been my favorite morning. It’s 7:13am right now, when I’m starting to write this blog. I woke up late, at 6:18am, when I usually get up at 6 or earlier. That only left me with 12 minutes of “coffee time” before it was time to get the kids up and going …
Whew. Here’s the update post we’ve all been waiting for! My husband is officially home. He flew back in late Saturday night, and yesterday was the first day he was really home. We didn’t tell the kids he was coming back (because I didn’t even believe it myself), so they were really surprised and happy …
Ugh. It’s been a whole night. Haven’t they all been lately? I don’t know what to say. I’m struggling. Things feel worse than they should. And it’s ……hard. Life is hard right now. I want to know that I’m not alone. I want to know that I’ll be okay. Everything feels so scary and drastic. …
I’m in a strange phase of life right now. I’ve been in it for a while, but it feels pretty significant right now. This…constant push and pull. The… I love you, I need you, please don’t leave me… I don’t need you, I’m fine on my own, go away. With my husband, with my friends, …
“I’ll be home in a few days” “I’ll be home Wednesday, I promise” “I’m booking a flight today. I’ll be home on Friday. I’m serious, I’m holding my ground this time.” All of this has been said by my husband the past few days. and every single time, I responded with “sure. Okay”. Not once …
Tonight is hard. Today was hard. The last 2 weeks have been hard. Tonight might be the hardest. My husband and I got really bad news today. While multiple states and hours apart physically, we both got absolutely devastating news. I’m trying to lift him up. He’s trying to….idk. He feels badly. And wants desperately …
Things are….not necessarily better. But I’m…managing. ……? (I think?) My husband is still gone. And likely will be for quite some time. For reference, he sent me a text this afternoons that said “you’re not the only one wiping butts!” I responded by sending him a cute picture of our baby, who just so happened …
It’s finally July, probably my favorite month of the year. Despite the fact that the heat this year is absolutely destroying my body…July feels festive. July is home to my birthday, on the 8th, and this year, that’s also the day the my vacation starts! I’m so excited to go away. My last trip to …
