Where Have I Been?

-
Oh, hey!! So I have had a lot of people ask me when my next post will be published and I really wish I had an answer for that. Normally when I write, things just come to me. I get in a "mood" per se. And lately I just haven't had a "mood" since I wrote my last piece.

My husband and I are currently buying a house & as most of you know that is quite the process! And we kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinda bought ourselves a fixer upper so we have a lot of work to do before we can even move our crew in. It's been stressful and when things are stressful my brain goes into survival mode & I only can accomplish necessary things. And writing, I guess, is not one of them. So between purging/cleaning/packing the old house & planning/painting/updating the new house I am at my breaking point.

1. Mom
2. Wife
3. Work
4. House stuff.

That's all I can handle, for right now anyway.

I have a constant headache, my jaw hurts (I'm a teeth clencher when I'm stressed), eating poorly, not going to the gym as often as I normally do, sleeping like shit, and the hubs and I have been at each others throats. It's no wonder that my creativity has suffered. ha.

I promise I'll be back at it once things slow down a bit. Exciting time for our family but a real downer for my blog.

Thanks for hanging on - xo

How To NOT Rape People

-
This post can also be seen on Scary Mommy here!  http://www.scarymommy.com/how-not-rape-people/ Hey there! Are you trying to figure out how NOT to rape people? If so, you've come to the right place. I have compiled a list of some basic rules you should follow in order to maintain some peace in our civilized culture. In light of the recent events consisting of sexual assault in Hollywood, it has made me realize that these types of events are probably WAY more common than most people think. We only hear about the high profile ones. We don't hear about Ben down the street that has been harassing and assaulting God knows how many men or women over the span of a decade, do we? Nope. We only hear about the ones that make headlines. So to help some of you who seem to be confused about what is appropriate versus inappropriate, I am going to spell it out for you. I promise to make it clear, concise, and to the point. This should be easy to follow. If this leaves you confused,

Week One.

You guys. I made it through the first week of the Whole30! Holy $hit. That's 7 days without a single morsel of: sugar. dairy. wheat or other grains (including quinoa). peanut forms. beans (including soy). I have eaten nothing but WHOLE food for 7 days. I don't really even know how I came up with the idea that this is what I wanted to try. It just hit me one day and then I ran with it. I recruited four other people to do it with me- mostly because I know there is strength in numbers and support is key for something like this. By Day 4 I was on my own. They had all either not started or decided to stop. This cleanse/diet/lifestyle is not for the faint of heart. In doing some of my reading I kept seeing the same thing over and over: It's highly restrictive and leaves no room for error. And it's true. In the true spirit of the program if you "cheat" you're supposed to start back to Day One. The idea is that it takes our bodies a full 30 days to cleans

The Fight

-
I have spent the better part of my life as a mom fighting. The minute I found out I was pregnant in March of 2002 - I started fighting. Fighting for the life inside me. Fighting for the kind of life I wanted to give him. Fighting for the way I wanted to raise him. Fighting for the kind of mom I wanted to be. Fighting for the kind of man I wanted HIM to be. That fight never stopped. Not after this brother was born. Or his brother after that. I never stopped being their mom. Not once. Even if they weren't with me, I still called. I still checked in. I still went to work EVERY SINGLE DAY to provide for them the life I wanted them to someday have. Parenting isn't a walk in the park for anyone. I worked three jobs. I kept a clean house. I went to college while raising the three of them alone. I had cars repossessed. I had my lights and heat turned off. I went to the food shelf to feed them. I had to borrow money to buy them birthday presents. I had to beg for help to buy them wi
