• So Sorry, That I Let You Down

  February 28, 2018

  My husband is out of town, so the house is dark and quiet, and I'm alone. The girls are fast asleep in their beds. He travels often, usually only a night or two at a time, but week in and week out it starts to add up. He says he misses us, but I imagine…

• The Day I Should Have Died

  February 19, 2018

  It was a Saturday in May, almost 5 years ago now. Courtney had moved to Texas with her boyfriend and secretly married him so she could live on base with him during basic training; she'd driven back home the night before to surprise her family with a visit and we'd made plans to drive several…

• Predictability

  February 14, 2018

  I have 1.5 hours to get my thoughts out, give or take, while the kids nap. This is what my life has become, just a series of predictable events. Uneventful, uninspired. I stopped writing completely after I had Evelyn and got married, open diary was gone and I felt like I'd outgrown the need to&he...

• Hard

  April 20, 2013

   Being pregnant feels an awful lot like being anorexic right now - it is SO hard to force myself to eat, I have 0 appetite 100% of the time. And 75% of the time I'm trying to force food down as my guts start to clench, ready to just puke it all back up. I…

• Ready for the 2nd trimester…

  April 10, 2013

  I feel like a giant baby, I generally have a high tolerance for pain/discomfort, and I always imagined I would take the most natural route with my pregnancy...but I'm already on meds for the nausea. I can't eat, I've lost 3-4 pounds already this week, if I do manage to eat a little something (I&h...
