Fun Day Yesterday :)

Our day started off cute as always. We let Jellybean out for some exercise and she attacked Noah with her little cold wet nose. I'm surprised she loves him. I think he's mean to her, but I guess she's a glutton for punishment. I didn't turn the computer on until bedtime yesterday! I was pretty proud of myself. Today I had to turn it on to look at computers since Josh's is about to die... and you know, one thing leads to another :P Anyway... yesterday was such a nice day we just HAD to go to the zoo. Noah was such a good boy!! I just couldn't believe how well-behaved he was the entire time. He was a little angel. AND he actually ATE FOOD! hahaha... this is a big deal to me. Not only did he eat food, he ate an apple and rice!!! :O I was in shock. I think the lack of TV for him and addition of outside play and mommy time did a lot of good.



My favorite part of the day was when Noah drew his own spiders. I love art and if my son shows even any remote interest in art I get excited. Look how lifelike his little red spiders are! Of course a boy would want to draw spiders... not flowers or rainbows or kitties or people, just big red dots with lines sticking out of them. That's my boy :)

I talked to a mom I met through cafemom on Yahoo yesterday. She has a daughter who is only a month younger than Noah and a 10mo old boy. She seems really fun and laid back and I can't wait to actually hang out with her. We only live like 10 minutes away from each other. In other words... I think I may have made a friend :O A friend?! ME?! I know, shocking. Oh and this weekend I'm taking Noah to see "Shrek the Third" because I am dying to see it. OK I am now going to shut the computer off and walk away. GO ME!

Allie Update

Though I have been depressed, life is trudging on. I had my 7mo baby appointment and everything is right on track. I'm 28wks and 5 days along. My belly is a whopping 29cm. I didn't get any guff about losing a little weight. My blood pressure wasn't high this time. My sugar test came back normal. I've got a little sciatica so the doc gave me some stretches to try out. She also suggested I finally cash in those 2 prenatal massage certificates I got for my birthday. Other than that, everything looks good. Noah got to press the button to find the baby's heartbeat. He loves this doctor, she always includes him. My friend Brandon, kind soul that he is, showed up yesterday to mow my lawn. He didn't just mow, though. He brought all his own equipment, including gas... he edged and weed whacked and blew all the clippings away. He went over the lawn twice so that everything would be mulched up pretty well. I couldn't believe how nice my yard looked. I

Victim Triangle

Image
Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected

Enough Planning, More Doing

I've been researching, reading about, diving into, writing about, and thinking about building confidence and self-trust for about 8 years now. It's time to get more intentional and active about it. I think I'm ready to move into that phase finally. I have a tendency to take in information and keep mulling it over, writing and expounding upon this that and the other, but now it's time for an actual plan. An action plan. I understand the problem as much as I can from the outside looking in. Now it's time to create learning opportunities: to make mistakes and deal with the consequences or to achieve something and deal with the praise. That's the next phase of learning... doing . So today I am creating a specific list of tasks that I have to do in the months ahead that specifically target insecurities and seek to force me to deal with the reality of those insecurities. The goal is to be able to build resilience  by proving my old voices wrong with a stack of accompl
