Perspective.

September 7, 2010

Funny how a new one will change what you think. My first pregnancy was terrible – a sham.  I was so excited, so desperate for a child, so ready to be a mom.  I wanted to wonder and revel in every moment of growing a human being.  I used to dream about how magical the experience would be, I used… Read More

Hand Written.

September 6, 2010

This blog was written out by hand and typed later on. ——— Want to write. Nowhere to write… except good ol’ pen and paper. Days have such huge ups and downs. Terrible tantrums and sweetest kisses. Perfect love making and awful fights. This is life. Good weeks and bad weeks.  Good years, bad times. When you look back, do you… Read More

Searching for Happiness.

August 27, 2010

I’m not happy. What does it even mean to say that? How do I reconcile the fact that I am ‘happily’ married to an amazing man, with a beautiful son, have a rewarding career, a nice home and the ability to pay bills and put food on the table – but then say I’m not happy? What does it mean… Read More

Just You Wait.

August 26, 2010

If you think I’m terrible at blogging now, just wait a few months. The most terrible part of it all is how desperately badly I want to write.  How I sit here with an open editor, and have to set it aside again and again to put out fires and calm tantrums. Sometimes I tweet my best material, and then… Read More
