I finally made it to counseling last week. I was telling my counselor how I essentially fall off my rocker if I go too long between therapy sessions and she said that I am not the only one with that experience. She said that she likes to think of counseling as a dock that allows…

Thirty-Ducking-Eight
You know what, I haven't had a reason to take a selfie since I stopped posting on social media. But I'm taking one today because I’m having a good hair day and what better reason to shoot a selfie than when you’re experiencing your best self. Anyway, today I’m thinking about the fact that I'm…
Therapy Matters
I think I have figured it out. I mentioned that lately, I've been feeling off. I guess that means I feel like I'm floating and am in fact, not feeling. When I do feel it is a one of overwhelm. I have been scratching my head- so to speak- racking my brain as to why…
Try if You Dare
This week’s re-run is a reminder as to why I never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, ever go to the store with more than one or two or zero kids. Once upon a time I did but truly I don't know how or why I ever did such things to myself. Alllllllllso. Since this was…
Tunnel Vision
Life is weird. I was sitting on my couch with my head back on the cushions and hands over my eyes trying to block out the chitter-chatter happening around me and mulling over some writing topics that I wanted to share this week. I set up my Mental Health Mondays, Tuesday Re-Runs and Thursday Thoughts…
What a Tease
Alright, I don't typically enjoy the whole: "I have something up my sleeve but I'm not going to tell you yet but trust me you want to know" and capitalizing on the idea of FOMO type deals, but I'm not against it enough to not do it. So I'm just going to dive right in…
This is Thursday
Ever since the time change where the time thieves maliciously stole one hour of my life I have not been the same. And by that I mean that I can't wake up before 6 am when usually I would get up at 5 am and get in my quiet time before the fruit of my…
Plugging Away
I tried guys. I really tried. I tried to squeeze in a Mental Health Monday post but the gods would not allow it. Yesterday had more tasks and responsibilities than it did time and energy. So I took the pressure off and said "fuck it. I'll try again tomorrow." And now it's tomorrow and I…
Check It
This week’s re-run was fun for me to re-read. My kids don’t really have these easy to answer questions and demands anymore. I kind of miss debating with my littles about why we stop at red lights and why we don’t eat raw meat. Time has flown way too fast and my littles are not…
Smoking Gun
I am gonna use an analogy here and the analogy is between cigarettes and social media. I know it sounds like it's gonna be weird but I think that it's gonna make sense. Bear with me as I fumble through this one and start with, you guessed it, a quick backstory: I used to ask…
