The Dog that Adopted Me
I thought it would actually take a whole year to find a dog given how fussy LM#2 and I were being about choosing one online to visit in person. I thought choosing a dog would be, for my husband and I, like choosing our home was: check out over a dozen or so before finally choosing one. The Dog had other plans.
Has this ever happened to you my fellow Moms?
It seems everyone in my family has spare time. Leisure time. Time to do whatever they want, or nothing. Everyone BUT me. I’m the person who makes everyone else’s leisure time possible. I can’t slow down. If I do, I’m fairly certain the world will end.

Despite My Lack of Physical Custody: I Am Mom
(Much to a Mother’s Woe) Children Grow Up
I wish my son could stay a child forever, so I could protect him from the dangers of the world forever, but he can’t, and he won’t. All children - mine happens to be autistic but this is a universal truth - grow up and independent of their parents. It’s not easy for said parents when they do.
Discovering My Maternal Spirit Animal
The Weekend Sofa Warrior
Every Friday I plan a super-productive weekend filled with things I need to do. Then the fatigue from the week sets in…Or a dog sits on me…or both. Either way, nothing gets done, but I don’t beat myself up over that. I am a woman who wears multiple hats in a blended family. I’m allowed to relax.
