The Story of my Diagnosis

April 18, 2012

It was five years ago this month. April 2007. I sat in an empty room at my therapist’s office, gripping a pencil so tight that my fingers turned white. I answered the questions of the psychological test. Tears streamed down my face, pooling at the corners of my mouth. I hated these questions. I knew I was [...]

Daycare Days

April 13, 2012

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I take the boys to daycare. Naaman is already at work so it is my responsiblity to get them from home to “school” on time. I have always said, I hate daycare days because they stress me out more than a day when Naaman is home with the boys or their [...]

1. Thank you for all the kind words and well wishes on my new job. My first day went well and I am very hopeful that it will be the place where I belong.  2. Even though we’re on a budget, I decided to break it and FINALLY buy myself some new clothes. I have been searching for [...]

A Fresh Start

April 9, 2012

Remember how I told you how I had big news? Well, the big news starts today. I got a new job! I knew this three weeks ago but really wanted to wait awhile to let it sink in. I guess I’m still in shock that this has happened. I had been unhappy at my old [...]

waiting for me

April 5, 2012

I keep coming to this space. Hurriedly clicking the keyboard watching letters form words. Then holding the delete button until they’re all gone. I’m not working this week and I’ve very purposefully taken some of my “alone” time to reflect on what my life is right now. I wish I could say I’m at a place [...]

New Life

April 4, 2012

My new niece, Charlotte, arrived yesterday and I was quick to get to the hospital to meet her! She is precious and perfect and holding her did not give me baby fever at all. Oh, wait. That last statement isn’t true.

It’s official. I’m a soccer mom.

April 3, 2012

Landon had his first soccer class/game last night so I guess that officially makes me a soccer mom. He did awesome and I couldn’t be more proud.

I’m still struggling with what to say and how to say it. So I’m writing what I want and what I know and if someone wants to read and comment, well then, that’s cool. The world is reawakening. I don’t want to miss it. Spring has arrived and everything is new and green. I’ve been outside [...]

weekend

March 27, 2012

It was Saturday. The boys went down for an afternoon nap. I kept myself busy. Dishes clanking in the sink, the sound of the dryer thrashing wet clothes round and round. Until finally I stopped cleaning, looked around and breathed. I slipped off my shoes, grabbed my journal and opened the sliding glass door. With [...]

1. Brigham picked out his shirt for the first time yesterday. I had already put a shirt on him but he went into his closet and said, “choo choo shirt.” So I had to oblige. I took the shirt off and put the new one on him. Oh boy, choosing clothes for himself is a [...]
