Birthday Blog

Yesterday was great! I took the boys to Fort Discovery, which is a big science museum. Noah is still a little young for all the exhibits, but he still had a lot of fun. Tristan crawled around for awhile in the little kids room, but for the most part he just hung out in the carrier and soaked in the sights. I think next time I will bring the stroller. It was our first visit so I didn't know how crowded or stroller friendly it would be.

We came home for lunch and Josh had sneaked in earlier and left my present and a card on the dining table. He got me a drawing pen and pad for the computer!! I can't wait to hook it up and start practicing my computer art :D He also had a song playing on repeat for me that reminds him of moi :) It was quite romantic (it's country, you've been warned if you hate country). That's my baby. It's nice to have him home.

Once Josh got home we headed out to Carrabbas Italian Grill and it was SOOOOO GOOOOD! We splurged and got appetizers AND dessert :) I told Josh if he mentioned to anyone it was my birthday I would hire a singing clown to come to his work for his birthday. No songs for me!! :D Both the boys did really well and had taken long naps after the museum so we also took in a movie... Kung Fu Panda... it was an awesome legend of awesomeness and legendary legends of awesomenicity!! It was hilarious and Tristan did great! I fed him somewhere in the middle and he drifted off a couple times, but he mostly watched the show. He was interested in all the colors and sounds on the HUGE screen, I'm sure.

I took a few photos at the museum, but none were so uber great that I simply must upload and share... at least not right this very second. OK so that's that :) Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes on here, on Myspace, and via telefono!

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

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
