Manic Fit Mom

I've always loved the idea of not being what people expected me to be. Statistics showed that me, an overweight, depressed, lonely 8th grader with a 'troubled childhood,' would likely drop out of school, probably get hooked on drugs, and do nothing with my life. HA.  Back then I will admit, I had no self control or discipline. I ate whatever I wanted because I wanted to, and I didn't stop until I made myself sick because it was just so good. So how did that chubby(okay, fat) girl blossom into work from home biz owner happily married mom? Mind control. Kind of. Really, it's just tricking your brain into being productive. It works like this -  say you've got something you want to change, like, lose 80 pounds(HALLELUJAH) for instance, but you can't stop eating.  You can't just BREAK a habit, that's why it's called a habit - you're used to it. But you can trick yourself, just like this... Pick your goal. This might hurt ...

(look at us, so young, such babies. No idea what we were going to do with our lives, but MAN, we had our love) Fast forward 3.5 years and here we are, with our little dude, coming up on year 4 of our marriage! Let me just say that marriage is hard. Fortunately, I married my best friend. But even so, it takes work on all parts to STAY best friends. Not that (almost) 4 years of marriage is all that impressive, and considering my loveless past before Trevor, I really shouldn't be giving relationship advice;but this isn't really MY advice, so I'm going to share it anyway.  Quick disclaimer - Trevor is extremely sassy ALL THE TIME. It's part of the reason I love him so much, but it does make some things difficult. For instance, we 'argue' a lot. Most marriages have their share of disagreements and ours, like many others, are mostly based on who's right. Yes, you can get plain white shirts at Old Navy, no Chipotle on Rancho Vista opens at 10:30, you...

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing particular goes catastrophically wrong, but yet, like my mother's steak every family BBQ, you are just SO OVERLY DONE? I call it angry mom syndrome, and I'm feeling it today. I never know why exactly it comes but it is never pretty no matter how hard I fight it 😩 Maybe it's because we as mom's can never watch an entire movie start to finish and ACTUALLY know what the eff is going on. Maybe it's because we have to ask nicely  for tiny humans to put on their shoes/sunscreen/pants 15,000 TIMES before we can go outside. Maybe it's because cleaning at this point is absolutely futile but the house is utterly disgusting, so we do it anyway and pray it lasts for more than 6 seconds. I think it's just a culmination of things piling up, you know?  Why are mom's supposed to never lose their shit?  I can be painstakingly patient mom for only so long before one last SCREECH from an angry little boy mak...

Yes, today was the day we stepped out into the world and attempted to make new friends 😖  I was actually really excited for today, and kind of nervous, like I was the new girl again at school and unaware of what class would bring...would they like me? Would I be the weird one? Am I dressed right? What's the food like?  For those of you who have never heard of it before this blog post, Tinkergarten is a way for little ones (18+months) to learn and play and grow in the sun with different 'classes' each week. As our leader put it today, 'we give the kids an agenda and let them figure it out themselves the way they need to.' Which is pretty friggin' cool, in my opinion, because every one learns differently, and personally, my son doesn't need to be contained trying to learn things at 2 years old. Anyway, today, the class was about MUD - specifically making the mud, sticking it to a tree, and creating faces with things they found on the ground! Except.... ...

Okay, obviously that isn't true. Abe is my reason for life (DUH), and the reason I wanted to work from home in the first place. The standards of mothers now though, THAT'S what sucks. Have you checked the standards lately? Let's recap - I, as a stay at home mom, am supposed to be beautiful, cheerful, witty, and intelligent, without being too sassy. I should be in good shape (for carrying another human inside of me), and a wonderful cook, but ONLY healthy food, of course, because if not I'm making my family obese. The house should be well kept always, and Abel should be well dressed, well spoken, always clean, and know long division by age 5.  FUCK YOU.  No wonder women in the 50's smoke and drank all the time! I like to think I do a pretty good job at this whole mom thing, but how in the hell am I supposed to be ALL THAT and still have my sanity? You know what my parent's did to be considered 'good'? They offered me food - whether or not I starv...
