Ruby: 6 Months*
I’m back! It’s amazing what a little late night venting can do for the soul. First off: I promise I’m not depressed. I’m okay. The reason I felt ready to write about what I’ve been feeling is because I feel like I’m through the worst of it. It was a particularly challenging couple of weeks with Ruby, and everything just compounded on top of one another. My sweet bean was/is teething and wasn’t sleeping, which made for a very tired, stressed momma. Anyway. This morning I realized that I haven’t done a little update about my wee-bean in a while, and I thought I’d introduce you to my amazing six…

Looking In*
Hi dears. I know I’ve been… quiet this month. It’s been a hard couple of weeks for me, and I knew that my writing would reflect a lot of the emotions I was feeling, and I just didn’t want to pour that all here. I’m not quite sure how to begin what I want to write without making it sound like I’m being incredibly insecure and sorry for myself. In a way, I know that I am. But August was certainly a month of highs and lows for me, and I found myself on a roller coaster with too many dips. Let me explain: A few weeks ago I confessed…

I Finally Did It*
Today I crossed something off my to-do list that I have been meaning to do for years. I finally applied for a passport. This may sound like something small and silly to you, but it has been on my to-do list and has literally been staring me in the face for years. This is my kitchen whiteboard. As you can see, I missed my most recent deadline for this goal by a few days weeks months. Before this most recent change, that goal sat on that board for two years. *bows head in shame* I don’t know what took me so long, I suppose it was because I knew we…

Sugar Cravings*
I want to talk about something I’ve really been struggling with, to the point that I’m ready to talk to my doctor about it. I’m hoping that owning up to my struggle will help me finally find some motivation to do something about it. I’ve had a hard time losing weight. I am fully aware that it can take a year or more to get your body back to where it was pre-baby, but a few months ago I hit a plateau and have made no progress. There are a couple of reasons for this. First being, I’m not exercising. I’ll own it. I’m great at talking about it and…

I Think I Like Hockey*
I recently came to a startling revelation: I like hockey. Let me explain. When we moved into our house we also got TV for the first time in years. The Hubster and I have a few shows we like to watch together, but as time passed I noticed that sports channels were being played in my house with increasing frequency. I knew the Hubs liked sports, but I never thought of him as someone who would sit down and watch some kind of sports game on TV. I was wrong. It was playoff season when we first moved, so I just figured that the Hubster got all caught up in…
