It’s so much easier to see a situation objectively when it doesn’t involve yourself. If I were somebody else I would tell me to go running for the hills.

You know how you feel fine when you leave therapy, but then relive the session for the next 48 hours and it saps the life out of you? That’s where I’m at.

I went on a weekend trip with 6 other women, some of which I barely know. I’m an introvert. Look at me doing things out of my comfort zone. If you need me you can find me in my comfort zone for the next 6 months.

You know…I used to be a very outdoorsy person but I think I’m done camping.
A bear attack was initially suspected in Dustin Kjersem’s death. But police now say he was killed by a man he had just met -- and that a beer can offered by Kjersem provided critical DNA evidence.

One time my mom said I looked like I had “2 black eyes!” (I did not)
Now, every time we discuss eye color with my daughter she insists she has blue eyes, but I have black eyes.

I don’t need a “show less like this” option so much as a “show nothing like this” option.

Looking at the menu for my daughter’s preschool and damn, chicken noodle soup is a bold choice for toddlers. I’m 42, and I can’t even eat it without making a mess

I’m not going to frantically scrub every inch of my house including the stove top because a friend is pet sitting for 2 nights. It’s called growth.

I swear every day we pick our daughter up from preschool she has a little smudge of dirt on her upper lip making her look like a tiny hitler.

Some days I think of that famous quote from Scrooged:
“you don’t know who you are, you don’t know what you want and you don’t know what the hell is going on”
Yep. Sounds like me.

Maybe I’ll just stop looking at my daughter while she’s eating. Then we won’t get into power struggles about her teetering on the arms of her chair. I mean, she’ll likely fall over at some point but not very far. 🤷♀️
