I LOVE Being on Vacation - Days 2 & 3

I'd love to say the  past couple days have been whirl-winds of fun and excitement but really they haven't.  Not that I'm upset about that.  They've been useful days and I'm glad to have had the time.

Tuesday sort of went by in a blur, I had an eye doctor appointment in the morning then errands.  P left work early (after going in at 3:30am)  so I spent the afternoon with him.  I made a pound cake from scratch (yum!) and creamy-lemon chicken with potatoes and cheesey broccoli for dinner.  It was a delicious meal and a relaxing evening.

I managed to clean out a ton of stuff from my bedroom and gathered a whole large trash bag full of still good but not useable for us clothes to donate (and I donated it today-amazing because most of the time the bags sit for weeks.)  After cleaning, Orion and I went Shopkicking (please check out the Shopkick app if you have a smartphone, free $$ peeps) so I could gather enough kicks to get a $25.00 Target card, score! The we went to P&H's house so I could make dinner and help T with homework. Tonight's dinner was quiche.  One was made with leftover chicken, mushrooms, swiss cheese and a bit of cheddar.  The other was a simple cheddar, bacon and egg concoction for the kids.  I also made some home made hash browns, yum.  I have no idea what tomorrow's dinner will be.  Or what we'll be doing.  Maybe I'll get to sew for a bit.  I know, I know, the  excitement might kill me ;-)

Blogging as Therapy

It hit me recently that I blog like I would talk to my therapist. Some days I wish I still had one. She got tired of me and booted me out of therapy. Ok, not really,after 10 or so sessions she gently told me that I was ok. I had established boundaries and worked out some coping skills and didn't need a therapist anymore. I'm welcome back anytime.  I liked therapy, when I started I really thought I was losing my mind (long story, very long) having a 3rd party review all the evidence (mostly texts) and listen to me talk for an hour or so at a time then tell me I was NOT crazy was really helpful. I credit her with keeping P & I together. This blog is helping too. When I'm frustrated with life in general I come here and type away. So thank you all for reading. And for the couple comments I've gotten over the past month or so I really appreciate it. 😄 That said, I'm thinking of going back to my therapist for a few sessions. I need to figure out why I'm somehow

Hello Neglected Blog!

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Things have been weird since the election and I haven't felt like posting. I think I was in shock. I honestly didn't think this country was dumb enough to actually fall for the orange idiot, I was wrong. Very wrong. And it felt like I was punched in the gut. The only good thing to come of it is that women are finally banding together again. I wish I could have been at the march in Washington but work, money, etc. I was definitely there in spirit. Anyway, politics aside things have been going well in general. I still love P&H, I still need to lose weight, I still hate winter. I also still hate my job and haven't found another. What HAVE done is signed up for a postpartum doula class!!  I can't wait! I've already finished reading the required books, I have a list of questions for the instructors (just in case they don't answer them during class.) Does this mean I'll have a new career? Who knows but this is a

Hello, I Am a Podcast Addict

It hit me today that I listen to a lot of podcasts. Like,a lot of podcasts. All day really. I love pods. I learn lots, I'm entertained, sometimes I'm freaked out. I thought I'd share my top 10 and why I love them.  1. The Birth Hour Podcast -  So I think I've mentioned a few times before that I am going to start Doula classes next month (and if I haven't done that here, surprise!) This pod is all about letting women tell their birth and postpartum stories, the good, the fantastic, the terrible. I love everything about this pod and consider it part of my doula training. 2. Star Talk with Neil Degrasse Tyson - Do I really need to say more than that? this pod is fun and educational and Dr. Tyson interviews a surprising array of people. I learn something every time I listen.  3. Welcome to Nightvale - This was the first pod I ever listed to. I have no idea how to describe this one. Just listen if you like weird and slightly creepy storytelling.  4. Dearest Doula
