Friday Confessions: The Last Time I….

When was the last time I.... ...woke up refreshed? Last September. I remember because I was on a business trip in Charlotte. Lord, I know some people complain about having to travel for work but if you have two small kids at home and money's kind of tight, a two-day business trip is downright luxurious. You mean I get to have the bed to myself? I can pick up the phone, order some food, someone … [Continue reading...]

Confession time: I’m worn out

I can't even count the number of times I've written a post similar to this one. I am so TIRED. Damn. Can I get an "Amen"? When I get to bedtime, I literally leap for joy. This is me:   Motherhood, for some reason, has been more draining, more emotional, more EVERYTHING lately I dunno, maybe it's because I'm home more now. They aren't being bad kids - they're just kids and I'm just … [Continue reading...]

Confession time: I’m being selfish…starting now

I'm in the midst of a quarterlife crisis. Earlier this week, my husband was talking to me about buying my daughter a new twin bed, to upgrade from the toddler bed.

Where he can get out? I'm not … [Continue reading...]

Confession time: I’m jealous of 30something moms (sometimes)

Ok, I'll admit it. *looking around to see who's within earshot* All you 30something moms - I'm jealous.  Not completely jealous but just a little, "Man, it must be nice..." jealousy that never hurt anyone. One of my friends had a baby this past weekend. She's older than me, happily married for five or so years, had a pretty smooth pregnancy. She researched everything, got the best crib, … [Continue reading...]

Confession time: I need a do-over

One day when my daughter was about seven months old, I snapped for the first time. I was home alone with her and she had been crying nonstop. We were stuck in a little 400-square-foot apartment (if that big), and it was going on six hours of the madness. I did everything I could think of: fed her, burped her, changed her diaper, changed her clothes, gave her a bath, bounced her on my lap, on my … [Continue reading...]

Apology to my single, childless friends…

As I'm sitting here, counting down the days until we get both of our kids into kindergarten and we can quit paying these outrageous daycare bills,  I find myself getting a little envious of my childless friends. My husband and I make a pretty decent living but damn it if it doesn't get eaten up the second it hits our bank account. Medical bills, car insurance, water, electricity, gas, car … [Continue reading...]
