Today is my big sister's 33rd birthday. It's weird thinking that she is THAT age. It's like, 32 is still close enough to early 30's (and therefore late 20's), but 33 is closer to 35 and mid-30's....

Mum told me on the phone the other day that in part, she feels guilty for the way I ended up mothering my firstborn child in the early days. It was a relief to hear that..... because in part I ha...

It's a rainy day today. I always sing that phrase to a specific tune, over and over again, on rainy days. This morning my man and I were woken early by the youngest in the team of the household...

M is so brave. She's progressed in leaps and bounds with her swimming lessons in the last month. She's gone from just putting her face in the water to SWIMMING UNDERWATER!!! And when she comes up...

L is on afternoon shift. This shift works best for me because even though I go to bed without him, I wake up with him beside me!!! (On Nights, I go to bed and wake up without him.) Also, I get to...

"When I'm a grown-up, I might have kids, like, 3 or 4, and I might be a really good swimmer. I might do sports." This is M's answer to the theme "When I Grow Up....." for show and tell this week...

Where to start...... The day of my birthday was depressing. It seemed as though the girls did everything they could to give me a horrible day, and that got me down and out and frustrated. I also...

Feeling much better today. I had dinner with Suzanne last night. It was definitely needed. I love that she is new to this area too, but also not too close for comfort. She's in the next town, whi...

I just can't give as much of me as is needed lately. I'm kind of in my own zone, a bit of a zombie, really needing this time, this space inside myself. I sang some of my songs yesterday, from ten...
