From Non-Mom to Psuedo-Mom in 3 hours

This last month has been a roller coaster.  As you may recall, in my last post, I was both happy and hating everyone who easily gets pregnant.  Again, thrilled for my friends who are starting and expanding their families, but sad and angry at my own body’s inability to produce a single child. Well, things…

Time vs. Healing

Someone once said that time heals all wounds.  Whoever said this was a sucker. Anyone who has ever been wounded, physically or emotionally, would tell you this isn’t exactly true.  Let’s look at this physically.  If you get a big gaping cut on your arm, what happens if you just allow time to take its…

It’s a TRAAAAAAP!!

Ah, I have to admit, I have been wanting to use that line for a while – much like Admiral Ackbar before me.  If you don’t know what I am talking about, you are clearly not a Girl Geek, like me.  Here’s a hint: There are some stars… and a couple of wars 😉 It’s…

The S is for Sucks

Today I had a lot of things planned.  Because planning is an essential part of any escape.  Right now, I am looking to escape from my married name.  I stopped using it online about a year ago, but I never really got around to getting it changed.  Mostly, I was lazy.  I admit it. A…

Relief is spelled T-U-R-B-O

Alright, so by now you have probably figured out that I have a problem with anxiety.  Always have, and probably always will to some extent.  It is one of the worst feelings I can imagine, especially for a control freak like me.  I hate the feeling of being out of control (a large part of…

An Open Letter to My Stomach

Dear Tummy, I am speaking to you, the tummy on the inside.  We will get to the tummy on the outside later.  I wish to tell you that you suck, and I am really tired of you being so temperamental all the time.  I understand that you are closely tied to my anxiety issues, but…

Happy Healthy New Year

Normally, at the beginning or ending of a new year, I like to do a little recap of that year.  This year, I have decided to spare my readers from reliving the angst.  Because this year is about getting better – Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually.  I have learned a lot this past year about…
