Respected. Knowledgable. Partner.
I had the opportunity to sit next to Maximus tonight and just stare at his profile. I was in awe of his milky skin and soft features. I marveled at the fact that he is growing up so fast, but in that moment he looked so much like a baby. His features looked like they … Continue reading Brain dump: my boys, my night out, my ideas, and my days
Things I’ve realized as I’ve been on coach rest for the past four weeks. Some days I have absolutely nothing to say because I don’t feel like I’m part of society. I’m in a bubble of books and movies. My dog growls and wags his tail while he’s sleeping. A lot. My living room starts … Continue reading Random thoughts from the couch
I’m concerned about the days quickly ticking by. At Thanksgiving I felt like I had a lot of time to accomplish a long list of Christmas to-dos.

While stopping at my favorite taco drive-thru, I decided to treat myself to a Pepsi (instead of said candy). The woman screwed up and gave me a giant Mt. Dew. My first thought…YES! I … Continue reading Random end-of-the-day thoughts
I forgot my water bottle at home. Forgot as in, it’s on the other side of town and I haven’t been without it in 12 weeks. Twelve weeks of refreshing hydration. I feel naked. It’s become as important as a cell phone to me. I know, like a cell phone? It’s just water. Maybe I’ve … Continue reading Stream of consciousness
I wonder if it’s safe to say that I get bigger every day. Around 1 pm to be exact. Why do 1 out of 4 people find out I’m pregnant and then ask if I’m having twins. Am I that huge or is it because I have a small frame? How much would my husband … Continue reading Random Thoughts
