Goings On

I'm sorry about the break in posting, I honestly haven't really had much to say to anyone. I think I might be teetering towards a mild depression, everything and everyone has annoyed me, especially P & H's oldest. I find her whiny, demanding and lazy all things I knew she was before I moved in but I'm having trouble being tolerant lately. I think the infrequent (and unfulfilling when had at all) sex, less money and more responsibility is getting to me. I haven't been exercising or sleeping well and the early mornings for work are killing me and winter is on the way. Everything combined is pushing me a bit over the edge. 

Oh and my sons father decided that Orion should have a gun for his 20th birthday. As you can imagine I'm less than thrilled with the choice, even if it is an antique that Ri plans on hanging on a wall as a decoration. It's a functioning weapon and I wish he'd given him something else. I know that Ri is old enough to own a gun (he already has a rifle, not thrilled about that one either) and that he's taken the safety classes and that his dad has been teaching him to handle use them properly since he was around 8. I'm just anti-gun in general. Its one of the (thankfully) few things that Ri and I disagree on. I don't see the point in owning one. We don't hunt, or camp, or live in a dangerous place or even have dangerous jobs. What on earth would we need a gun in the house for? Apparently just for the joy of having it. As if this whole gun thing isn't enough Ri also started taking Systema Russian Martial Arts classes, from what I can tell this is just an organized fight club with guys that are willing to give you pointers on how to hurt people more. Fun, right? He's already a black belt in Kempo Karate. 

Why my only begotten son wants all this dangerous knowledge is beyond me. We're a peaceful family, I swear. And if you just run into him on the street he's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Loves children, animals of any kind, old people. He just also has a passion for crap that can kill you...Balance is good, right?

What a downer of a post...sorry guys but I needed to vent a little.

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
