Fall has a smell to it. This sweet smell of leaves. It’s almost indescribable. I noticed it when I left my work on my lunch break. It’s warm and humid, and the leaves coming off the maple tree are giving off that scent. I kind of love it. It makes me want to be outside […]

Day 75
Things I did today: Got up to toddler singing at 530 am Made breakfast Did dishes Attempted meditation while moderating fight over my lap Ate half my breakfast while feeding the other half to a toddler who had decided mine was better than hers Moderated 10000 fights Rescued the plant from imminent death on the […]
Day 74
1. Red bull girls showed up at my work and gave me free red bull. Which I left in the fridge at work of course. But heeeey….free red bull! 2. I woke up this morning to the moonlight pouring in. It was beautiful. 3. Speaking of the moon, I got to watch the full moon […]
Day 73
Today I was contacted, along with other people by a person I know with a request to share the worst of the drinking stories on an anonymous blog. I immediately said yes, because that’s what I do, but now my thoughts are going. I’m not particularly concerned about this person knowing the dark and dirty, […]
Day 72 (Edited)
Things I need to work on: 1. Self care. I’m not doing so great on that. I discovered that tonight when I went to my meeting and realized I hadn’t eaten in over 8 hours and was dehydrated and almost fell over in front of a hundred people I was chairing the meeting in front […]
Day 71
Exhaustion. Pure physical exhaustion. And I quit smoking. I pretty much finished unpacking and putting together the beds. I have the living room mostly arranged to my liking, and my lovely keyboard is set up. You know, the important things. I replaced the blinds that A broke our first day here (took two trips to […]
Day 69
I still giggle internally like a preteen at the number 69. Ok. Enough of that. Parenting was hard today, but I feel like I was productive. I finished packing all my stuff from my sister’s place, with small children literally ripping the curtains down around me. Also bought more stuff for the new place. I’m […]
Day 68
Getting nervous about moving logistics. Ok, who am I kidding…ive been nervous since before I signed a lease but now I’m panicking a little. Mostly about how I’m going to transport my children while driving a uhaul. That has no backseat. 1. I felt pretty energized all day, right up til now. That was pretty […]
Day 65
You know that thing that happens sometimes, where you suddenly realize you’re lost in your thoughts and you come to and it’s like you were somewhere else completely? That’s been happening to me a lot lately. I feel like there is so much happening right now in my life, that I’m constantly spinning. At […]
Day 62
A word of advice, friends. Never leave your home in the company of small children without eating first. Don’t care if you aren’t hungry. Bring a snack. Even if you think it’s a short trip, do this. Trust me. You don’t want to make a snack stop when you’re broke, exhausted on caffeine fumes and […]
