I’m still alive

It's been awhile. And honestly I'll probably come back later and explain some of the insanity of my life, as Mommy was a huge part in helping me make it through. But right now I'm about to go to bed and don't have time for a lengthy entry (this will already post past bedtime), but…

I’m a Brand New Man

Yes yes, I'm now singing Brooks & Dunn in my head. So sue me. This sucks. Until it doesn't. I'm on a yo-yo of a sort. Waking up sucks. It's definitely not getting any easier. I know, it's only been a week. But blah. Especially when my own boy is having emotional difficulties and gets…

So Far…

Only a few days in. Getting up is the hardest. Going to bed is fairly easy, especially when I'm tired from getting up early. Haha But I definitely feel the difference in my day getting up earlier. I think it helps that ADHD minion doesn't get a chance to get out of control before I…

Mommy’s Home!!!

So sometime last month, my Mommy returned to living about 25 minutes from me instead of many states away. It has been 20 million types of chaos, but I love it all. I've been seeing her usually at least once a week, if not more. I keep her gelfs for her when she has jobs…

The Little Engine That Could

*NOTE* Going back and posting this now, October 10th (post started on August 30th). Because I failed. I'm not letting it get me down. I'll elaborate in my next post. ** I'm here! I'm doing it! Ha. I even had enough forethought to start this entry early and add my items each day (like I'm…

Failure is not an option

So here we are, 13 days after my last positivity post (it'll be 14 by the time this posts), which means I should be on my second weekly post for Mommy. Clearly, I have failed. But I'm not going to let that upset me or get overwhelmed and decided fuck it, I won't do it…

Positive

So, Mommy asked me awhile back to start thinking something positive about myself every day and recording it to submit to her every week. Well, I've sucked at that for sure. But my own boy brought something home from DBT the other day, and it reminded me of what I was supposed to be doing,…

Lessons

I screen shotted this response to a specific situation on one of my parenting groups, but the thought process behind it all was so wonderful and I need the reminder with my kids so often that I needed somewhere safe to put it. So here will have to do.

Chores and Things

My character leveled up to level 2 this morning! I absolutely owned my dailies today. Bathrooms wiped down? Pshaw. Them bitches are cleaned. 10 minutes general cleaning? How about an hour instead? And I had to fix the vacuum which took an hour. And I did all this while my family was at an amusement…

Intimacy

I honestly don't know if this post will make sense to anyone but me, but it's really the only semi-private space I have to talk about this, so you'll have to forgive me. I am learning. Transitions bring transitions, bring more transitions. Hearing the love of my life, my partner of 15 years, the man…
