Lost.

May 25, 2024
I would say the last 6 months... maybe year... maybe longer, I've been a bit lost. I'm a mom of 2.  My oldest Tarin just turned 4 this month.  My youngest, Kesley, turned 2 in April.  I would say I'm on the more mature side of being a mom, having had my first at 32…

    Been too long.
    February 6, 2024
    I've contemplated jumping on here to write from time to time, but unfortunately, writing seems a lot less therapeutic these days.  Maybe because I spend all day behind a computer typing - and it's lost its luster.  Regardless, I am going to try tonight because I have a lot on my mind. Let's start...

    Exhausted. Mom Things.
    October 16, 2022
    I hate those times when you just - don't know where to start.  This is one of those times. I'm just overall super overwhelmed.  Can't get in a routine.  Trying to be a good mom.  No time for myself.  Husband is driving me crazy.  Everything. I guess let's start with a little life update.  We…

  • Marriage. Fighting.
    July 31, 2022
    My husband and I are fighting so much right now.  It just completely escalated after Kesley was born. Things are stressful, we’re moving, not getting much sleep, work is crazy. But we’re in really rough shape. I’m so sad. Much love, -Elle

    My brain right now is like a mess of toddlers trying to navigate a jungle gym - LOL.  So need to get a lot of feelings out! Health - After FINALLY kicking my post partum issues to the side - I get mastitis.  WTF.  So annoyed.  Good news, I caught it super early (Saturday), went…

  • Parenthood = 1; Elle = 0
    July 16, 2022
    I went back to work after my first round of maternity last week - and I'm not going to lie, I am getting my ass absolutely kicked. First of all, when it comes to weekends... which if any of you are parents, know those are tough anyway.  Lots of entertaining, constant whining, esp. since I…

  • Health Stress *Second Update*
    June 11, 2022
    *Sigh* - after 10 long weeks of struggles, I'm happy to report that my post-partum issues have finally come to a halt.  PRAISE.  BE. The pelvic ultrasound came back all clear, with the exception of some additional fluid still lingering around there.  Could have been a clot, part of the placenta, ...

  • Health Stress *Update*
    June 3, 2022
    Both Tarin (my son) and I went to our respective appointments today... HAPPY to report that we have a resolution for him!  Sad to report - it's surgery :( Light, non-invasive surgery.  But surgery none the less.  Really, really hard to hear that your 2 year old has to go under anesthesia and be c...

  • Health Stress.
    June 2, 2022
    9 weeks of post-partum hell. I really hope I get the answers I need tomorrow.  I'm going to a new OB/GYN - at my 6 week follow up with my first one "oh if these issues are still happening in a week, let's get you in for an ultrasound." *One week later* - still happening,…

  • Not feeling myself
    May 22, 2022
    I'm about 7 weeks post-partum and I'm feeling... just bleh. From a health perspective, to start - I still am having some post-birth complications (minor ones) which are just annoying.  This means I can't be as active as I'd like to be... which, I'm ready to get back to exercising and being health...
