Anxiety

We had an excellent weekend. It wasn’t because we went on vacation or did anything extraordinary. We managed to have a perfect amount of plans and a surprisingly great amount of unstructured downtime. Sunday the blues started though. Today I woke up utterly exhausted and feeling unready to conquer the week. Then I remembered what Mondays used to be like, […]

It started with messing up a birthday party time. Next I left Gabby’s coat at a restaurant (fortunately it was a warm day and not like the recent weather). Then there were things I’d forget to get at certain stores. Whatever the story is, I officially have an extreme case of Pregnancy Brain! As if it weren’t hard enough to […]

It’s just that we are in such a rhythm that everything seems […]

This morning we were headed for catastrophe. It was almost as if we were walking down the center of a highway with a giant truck coming directly at us. Even as the truck got closer, I was immobilized to move out of his way and I couldn’t get to the sidewalk. Today was the first of Gabby and my Tot […]

Swimming pools petrify me. They scare me in a way that I don’t ever know how I will send my children to camps where they are able to swim where only paid professionals are watching them. I have always been a camp person, an advocate for children going to camp. But the thought of swim lessons or, dare I say, […]

As I am planning our upcoming fall schedule, it’s almost as if the world ends in my mind come January. Although there’s some indifference about when “Tres” (as we endearingly are calling the third child) will enter the world, it’s approximately around January. My brain is unable to grow to the point of comprehension of three children at three different […]

As a parent, you have a tremendous amount of influence in your child’s life – for a long time you are the only influence. As the years go by, the kids get older and they start to find their own way. As a parent, the choices you make for your children not only influence them but sometimes take them down […]
