Beautiful Day!

Today was only 84 and breezy, very little humidity. We just HAD to go outside! I thought Tristan could handle the drive to Brackenridge Park... I was right. He did cry for a bit on the way home, but fell back asleep. Noah had a blast running around and was really obedient. Noah just seems to know that he has to be extra good now that I have to take care of a baby too. He's been impressing me when we go out. He's still the same crazy wild child at home, though! It's been a lot easier than I thought it would be to travel and do things with both boys. I think Noah is the perfect age and is more of a help than a hindrance.

My friend Amy and I gave each other objects to find with our cameras. I took a few shots for my photo scavenger hunt at the park. I have to find a spooky house, palm trees, lightning bugs, and a neon sign at night. Thus far I've found palm trees :) I didn't realize we had so many palm trees out here until today when I was looking for them. I also snapped a pic of the most fall-like tree I've seen here in Texas. How depressing :/ I miss Ohio!!! I'm having fun today even though I'm pretty tired.

I'm glad Noah is being such a big help :)

I love the last photo of the tree. I was just talking to mom about here in Va the leaves aren't changing or falling off the trees. I miss Ohio with the seasons. It's dissappointing to just have hot, hotter and hottest as a season.

I'm glad you are getting out with both of the boys. I bet it feels good that Noah is behaving so well. It makes you feel like you trained him well haha :)

I guess when you live in Ohio its hard to appreciate all of the seasons all of the time. You are right though we do have great fall weather. Although you are not missing anything right now its been very hot.

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
