What REALLY Matters

I had a mini melt-down last night when I had ten things going at once, and Mikey came home and wanted to go for a family walk – which I LOVE, btw, normally. But in this instant I became suddenly overwhelmed with everything else I’m trying to do and I got upset. A walk seemed [...]

Life at Ludicrous Speed

I feel like someone suddenly pressed the fast forward button on my life and left me no time to get anything done. Not only for myself, but around the house as well.
 
Avery wants to be held all the time, and will only sit down for about 10-15 minutes (if I’m lucky) and watch a little [...]

If a Girl Falls in the Office…

…and no one hears her, did it really happen?
 
The most embarrassing thing just happened to me at work, and by some crazy miracle, no one even noticed. I cannot believe it.
 
To give a quick backstory – recently, they moved a new trainee into the office and sat her in the cube across from me. I [...]

Gunnar Doesn’t Care About Being Fat.

I can’t believe it. After ten weeks, I’m back into my size 4 pants. With the exception of a couple extra pounds in my thighs and butt, you can’t even tell I ever had a baby, especially a baby who’s only ten weeks old. I have no stretch marks, and I’ve been in a bikini [...]

More Nocturnal Craziness

Okay, something’s going on. I’m a little embarrassed to be sharing, but I promised I would share everything and not censor too much. So here goes.
I really regret complaining about the peeing in the beginning of my pregnancy, because I hadn’t seen anything yet.
 
Sunday night I woke up suddenly around 3am with the sensation of [...]

Pregnancy –Induced Comas are Great.

So last night I got up to pee for probably the fourth or fifth time. I barely remember it because I never really totally woke up. I peed and sat there for a minute with my eyes closed.
Next thing I know, it’s about 15 minutes later. I had fallen asleep on the toilet. I shuffled [...]

I refuse to be a soccer mom.

SO I’m sitting here on a Friday afternoon at work.
 
Even though I’m not buying any clothes lately (this pretty much stopped the second I couldn’t fit into my normal stuff anymore), I still find myself frequenting a few of my favorite shopping sites and brushing up on the trends for spring and summer on [...]

Things We Found While Cleaning out the Office

I decided to make a list of the more interesting items we found:
 

A binder with a complete, comprehensive list of every song on the Weekly Top 100 List from 1980-1989. That’s 100 songs. A week. For 10 years. It was a pretty big binder.
My ex-boyfriend’s Bible. Complete with his full name engraved on [...]

Packrat Protest

The dreaded time has come.
Earlier this week Mikey said the words I feared most as we were taking Gunnar for his nightly walk.
“Remember to bring home some boxes from work, because Saturday I’m boxing in the office.”
 
By “boxing,” my husband didn’t mean going a few rounds with Mike Tyson. He meant the time has come [...]

New Me vs. Old Me

I was checking out ninewest.com today, only my favorite shoe store as everybody knows. I came across a pair of metallic gladiator sandals that I’ve been eyeing from afar for awhile, and they’re finally on sale for 59.99, a price I can finally afford.
Correction: They are now at a price I used to be [...]
