Sunday... Day of Rest?

This weekend is a bit blurry for me. I know what I did, but I can't recall which days I did it on. We got a notice that it's the time of year for brush and bulky item trash pickup again. Saturday I spent a few hours pushing everything out of the garage onto the curb. That was fun... NOT. I still want to go through the shed in back. We have until the 28th to do it. Already the neighborhood vultures have picked certain items from my pile. The vacuum cleaner that didn't work and the garage door opener that didn't work are examples, and also a rotten door frame. Why people take these things is beyond my comprehension, but the vacuum lasted maybe an hour. I'd like to see someone try and take that homemade ferret cage. I brought in my 0-3mos baby clothes too. I almost forgot how tiny babies are! Here's my pretty trash pile and my pretty garage.

We went and saw Shrek the Third on Sunday. It was so funny! I was happy to get out and do something remotely adult-like. I would have gone to see that movie even if I didn't have Noah. I love kid movies. They're clean and fun and very artistic. Yesterday and today I've been extremely tired and lazy. It hit me last night that I may be getting a little anemic so I took some Blackstrap Molasses (which provide 70% DV of iron per TBSP and don't cause constipation like iron pills). I feel better today than I did yesterday, but I'm still wore out. Coffee isn't working, sleep isn't working... it must be the iron, right?! I'll probably be OK tomorrow after a few more doses of the molasses. Noah's been bored I'm sure. He found my Germany beanie hat today and insisted on wearing it during naptime and almost the entire rest of the day. It was very humid outside so when the hat finally came off he was all gross and sweaty and swirly, but happy. He looked so cute :) It even matched his outfit. He just loves hats! Time for more molasses and then SLEEP. I hereby swear I will not get sucked into stupid sitcom reruns and just go to sleep by 11.

Oh I almost forgot... our friend Kevin called with some promising contact info for Josh. We might be getting some actual dates on his class and moving :O I'm not holding my breath, but I'm really glad to have another venue to try our luck!

Hi Allie - Hey, you've been doing the turn-the-computer-off thing too! It was kind of hard at first, but I've really been getting a ton done - sounds like you have too.

I hope you hear soon about the dates you're waiting for...

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
