First Official Day of Vacation - Pretty Dull

Today was sort of boring, P had today off too so we ran around and did responsible grown up things. We went to not one but TWO DMVs today. He needed to return plates and I needed to renew my license. But since his car was registered in MA and I technically still live in RI so we had to go to both DMVs.  Super fun. Sorta. At least DMV's are more organized these days? I remember when I got my first license you wandered into the DMV took a number and then waited for several hours only to find out that you have the wrong form or need another form in addition to the first form you filled out. Then you'd go get the forms straightened out only to find out that you've lost your place in line. Nightmarish. I'm sure it couldn't have been fun for the clerks either, grumpy people, long never-ending lines. Now each type of transaction has its own line, you get a number only for the line you need. It's a much more efficient system for everyone involved. We ended up waiting 30 minutes at the MA DMV and 45 at the RI DMV. I was expecting to wait twice as long at both places to be honest. Between waiting and driving the day was pretty much over. But P and I still managed to keep each other laughing.

Tomorrow will be better, I think we'll head to the zoo.


On the bright side I don't need to make dinner tonight, we have tons of left overs from the cookout :)
Speaking of the cookout, Orion and B decided to be hams during sparkler time....

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
