It’s Sunday afternoon when I start this post. I’m sitting on the airplane now, I’ve said goodbye to most of my friends, and I’m traveling home with the friend I came here with. This weekend was a lot. There’s a lot for me to process and reflect upon, and I’m not sure where to start. …
It’s day 3 of my trip, and things are going….well, they are going. Anxiety is vey much present, and even though I’m definitely happier being here in my hotel room than I would be at home right now…my anxiety is a heck of a lot worse. Things at home are out of my control, simply …
As I’m sitting here in my peaceful, quiet hotel room, I realized that this is when I usually write! Instead of being stressed and overwhelmed and overtired, I’m instead sitting in bed, drinking coffee and watching tv. I’m sorry…what? Who’s life is this? The hotel I’m at is beautiful, the view is even better, and …
I live in a world where, honestly speaking, I don’t get much of a say. I have 4 children. One, I’ve placed for adoption (obviously, literally no say there), and the other 3 have a genetic disorder similar to muscular dystrophy. So, life just kind of…happens to me. I share a nearly 4000sq foot house …
Tuesdays are becoming my favorite day to post. They are the days I’m able to decompress and talk about how therapy went the night before. And lately, recapping how therapy went has been a really positive thing, as opposed to how it sometimes was in the past, when it was strenuous and stressful and I …
There’s nothing that stresses me out quite like the laundry does. It’s one of those things that just…piles up. Literally. Ever since the baby was born, things like folding and putting away the laundry has become a basically impossible task. Because it’s quite hard to fold laundry while holding a baby. And he is not …
I’ve had a phenomenally bad week. It’s been one of grief and loss and pain and anger. On April 4th, my birth sons birthday, one of my really good friends delivered her baby sleeping. She had a placental abruption, and the baby didn’t make it. It’s been completely devastating, and I’ve been feeling that grief …
I’m typical my family fashion, someone in my household had an issue with anxiety yesterday. That’s like…a daily, common occurrence. (Spoiler alert, it’s usually me. I’m usually the anxious one.) But yesterday, my 6 year old started getting upset about something, and he was escalating to a point where there was no way he was …
I had therapy this morning, and even though I had a really rough week, it definitely went well. It’s a good thing my husband and I got in a fight that completely dysregulated me and freaked me out over the weekend. (Kidding, but also sort of not.) Anyway, it started off the same way it …
I’ll be honest, as far as weekends go, this one was a pretty horrible one. Saturday during the day was actually okay. My husband took the 2 older boys out for a little bit during the day, and when he came home, he brought me a special dinner and gelato for me and the kids. …
