I love my husband!

As women, I think we have a tendency to do it all, overwhelm ourselves, and get stressed out.  We don't take time for ourselves and we end up in the doctor's office complaining about headaches, hot flashes, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, etc. and we hear, "You are stressed, you need 'Me time'!"  We laugh because we all know that "me time" doesn't really exist once you become Mommy.  I also think we have a tendency to take our stress out on our husbands and blame them for not doing enough or doing too much or doing this and that...really anything and not so much because our husbands actually did or didn't do this or that, but more because we need a release, we need to blame someone for what we have actually done to ourselves.  Sure our husbands screw up from time to time, but who doesn't?  I know I'm certainly not perfect!  So today I just want to say I love my husband!  Dex is a wonderful husband and father and even though I am overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, etc. I know that is my own doing.  All I have to do any day of the week is ask Dex for what I need.  Now women like to think that men just "know" what we need, but they don't, they are men, they are dads, not moms, so just ask, tell your man exactly what you need and I'd be willing to bet he'd be more than happy to oblige...or maybe I'm just lucky! :)  I love you Dex, you are a wonderful father and husband!

    I love you too baby, and you haven't done anything to yourself I am probably more that 1/2 to blame so I can take it. Probably should do more and I am trying to learn to read your mind but it's not working out too great so far ;)

It's back...

I went and got cocky, finally admitted that I was feeling great, had been for nearly 2 months, the weight was finally coming off and what happens?  I run into a brick wall!  I'm beyond frustrated, and I don't know where to turn.  I feel like there is something physically wrong with me, I do not think this is PPD any longer.  Yes, I do think I had PPD, but I think the PPD was muddling whatever is physically wrong.  I went to the doctor and the doctor brushed everything off as psychological, but I know it's not all in my head, it can't be, right?  Here are the symptoms: Hot flashes Crazy sweating (like the back of my knees sweat so bad that I leave wet spots on the couch) Extreme fatigue Very itchy scalp Weight gain (5 lbs in one week is not normal) Headaches Increased appetite, but nausea after eating Increased thirst Muscle pain Irritability Depression Brain fog I had felt terrible since Gia was born, I had not lost a single pound since 2 wee...

I'm alive

Finding this old blog is embarrassing yet enlightening at the same time. I no longer have two girls, I now have three. Thought for sure baby #3 was going to be a boy, but nope, I am destined to be a girl mom and I absolutely love it, except for the hair, I do not like having to do the hair. Luckily baby #3 is now 8 and baby #1 and #2 are 13 and 11, so there is a lot less hair for me to do these days. Update #2, I lost the weight, then gained it back. I know, shocking! So I seem to be destined to be a fat girl mom, emphasis on the fat, but I'm not sure I care all that much anymore. The big take away for me from reading my old blog posts is that I was without a doubt in the throws of postpartum depression when I started this blog. Lucky for you, I have normal depression now so, if I actually continue to write here, you can rest assured that there will be many more insane rambling posts. You're welcome!

Why the hell not?

This is an old post that I found that apparently I never published, maybe there was a reason for that?  Whatever, here's my post from August 1 that didn't make it to press the first go around! Normally I would stay away from the topic of politics, but nobody is reading this blog anyway, so what the hell. Here's my question, what are we voting for?  Really, what?  We think we are voting for representatives, people who will stand up for the voters, those of us who don't have millions to run for the Senate, but really it is all a beautiful hoax.  The rich get richer, why?  Because the rich are paying for the campaigns and lining the pockets of government officials.  So what happens?  Congressmen vote in ways that benefit the rich in order to continue to line their own pockets.  So not only are the wealthy receiving tax breaks at the expense of the middle class, but Congress would also like to take away "entitlements".  What is considered a...
