I felt so fuchi (gross) this morning. It’s always like the last 5-10 minutes before finally exiting the house where every once in a while I just feel so overwhelmed by it all and I get the most negative thoughts swirling around in my head. I think of how damn hard parenting and all of… Continue reading Cut Loose
One of my favorite things right now is happening every Monday and Wednesday. Every week on those days our oldest daughter lights up when she sees me grab her swimsuit and the first thing she says is “don’t forget my goggles mama!” She started classes at our local YMCA last summer and then had a… Continue reading I miss my Speedo
It was a regular morning at work when I decided to steal a little break time and check my personal email account. As is the norm there was a barrage of junk email and I began my ritual of just click, click, clicking away on the little box to the left, choosing emails I would… Continue reading Triathlon 2017
I saw a darling photo today that was taken 5 years ago. It was a picture of a little child that I know pretty well. My first thought when I saw the picture was of how cute and happy the little child looked. Smiling, with a glow in the eyes. And then just as quickly… Continue reading There are always consequences

The worst kind of anticipation is waiting to get news that you don’t know will be good or bad. The week leading up to finding out the results of my thyroid mass biopsy was unnerving. I am a worrier by nature. My mind always comes up with the worst case scenario, and boy did I… Continue reading Anticipation
I have a bad habit of not really posting consistently when life things come up and then I find myself having to recap a few weeks back to bring myself up to date in order to write about what I want to share. A few weeks ago my husband and I had a body… Continue reading About a parent: My mortality
Because a little humor, especially in the world of parenting, goes a long way. Always. Tonight I am so tired. The kind of tired where I’m sitting on the toilet and I start to fall asleep. Yep, that tired. Today was a pretty fantastic day filled with errands (the good kind, the ones you… Continue reading Wanted: Rest
For 5 years we have had a crib in our room and it is so odd to see that big empty space now. Odd, but nice. Odd and a little bit nostalgic. Today we moved the crib to the room that now the girls will share. Elysse is a year and one month and we… Continue reading Lights on, children out
I had an early morning walk today with a friend I care a lot about. After our walk that expression that you never know the burden someone else is carrying, so always be kind, came to my mind and held so true to me in that moment. A rush of feelings came flooding in.… Continue reading Stir within my soul
