I'm a hot mess about 50% of each day, but lately I feel like I'm the only logical person I know. Last night Chris took over duties when Boston woke up for his nightly midnight roll-call, but for some reason he couldn't manage to help him back to sleep

The first four months felt like a year, then the second four months felt like a week. Time is speeding by now that Boston is so mobile, energetic, into everything , and so extremely happy. He’s a little thing, still only in the 10th percentile, but he’s

Thank you. You all helped tremendously. I'm not unhappy. I'm unpassionately content right now. I appreciate your honesty and am glad I'm not alone on this subject. The best way to thank you ...

In an effort to simplify my life, I've been getting rid of a lot of stuff. Yesterday I found a box of just about every memory I have with my old boyfriend. Of course I should not still possess such a box, being married to someone else and all, but this

For the first time in over a year (since I was about 3 months pregnant), I weigh below 140 pounds. Half a pound below 140 to be exact, but below is all that matters. For me, it took 9 months to put on 35 pounds and it will most certainly be 9 months before

First I said I'd be happy if I made it six months breastfeeding. Then I had my baby and it was so hard in the beginning that I said I'd be lucky to make it six weeks. Then it became easy and actually enjoyable, and I said I'd like to go as long as I could.

Meaning that I don't want to be a ghost lingering around. I don't want to watch over my family that I left behind. I don't want to know that I died. I just want my existence to end. I'm assuming most people will passionately disagree with me. I personally

I'm not afraid of many things. I don't worry whenever Boston has a fever, I don't panic if I hear noises outside my house late at night, and it doesn't frighten me when people close to me have surgery (for some reason I just know they'll be okay). I am

I skipped out of work early (only 30 minutes early, but enough to feel rebellious) and picked Boston up from daycare. Luckily they had just fed him so he was in a great mood and didn't need boob-juice as soon as we got home. I changed my clothes, grabbed

I thought I knew my husband, but apparently my radar is way off. He came home from partying it up for St. Patrick's Day around 10 pm last night. He and his cousins elected a designated driver and I was so proud, but it seemed to me he didn't even have

Maybe you live in San Diego where it's always gorgeous, or maybe you live way up in Canada where it hasn't quite warmed up yet. I live in Ohio and it's crap about 60% of the year. So on days like today where it looks awesome outside (and I can't speak

I took your advice. I was positive and determined to be happy. I looked at old pictures of my husband and I to get in a loving mood and I thought about all the things I love about him. I picked up his favorite takeout on the way home from swim class with

If this doesn't get you in the mood for pool weather, I just don't know what will...

Today is March 11th. This is the day my husband and I celebrate "our anniversary" - it's not the day we got married, more importantly (to us anyway), it's the day we officially decided to spend the rest of our lives together. It's the day we became engaged.

...I put on my pants this morning and they are too big! You'd think I'd be ecstatic to have slimmed down, except for the fact that I'm a grumpy brat and instead I was irritated that I just finally broke down and bought new pants in a size 12 (accepting

Tired and exhausted are two totally different words. I used to claim exhaustion all the time, especially attending college and when I was pregnant. I however had no clue what exhaustion truly was. I intertwined the words tired and exhausted as if they

Work? Man was I spoiled. I had a great thing going for 3 years - I worked about 6 hours out of 8 every day. The remaining 2 were spent emailing or googling. And Nesting, of course. Now they are giving me all this work to do, and making me work in other

I have made it through, not unscathed mind you, from 11 days of pure ill baby hell. My perfect little boy became this monster of neediness, clinginess, crying, whining, phlegm, diarrhea, vomit, coughing, snot, and constant awakeness at all hours of the
