There's a prejudice going on in the world, people! I'm not talking about anything based on race, age, religion, or education—this one is against single moms. 8O Yes, single moms get way less love than single dads. Some eyebrows went up, so let me plead my case. Your honor, may I approach the bench? EXHIBIT A - I ...
Daddy Daycare
There's definitely a difference between me watching the baby and my husband watching him. The keyword here is "difference." This post is not about a "right" or "wrong" way—it's about the differences I've observed. :idea: "I'll watch Jayden, babe. Don't worry. I got him." That's usually how it starts. And then I go off to either nap, or ...
My Achy Breaky Heart… and Lungs… and Legs
In that case, I sure had a LOT of gain! Remember when I mentioned that I will carve out a time to run? Well, I finally did it! And boy, oh boy... First of all, the devil was busy trying to prevent me from starting my first day. I got home from work, changed into my ...
Trying to Catch Up With Life
I'm chasing life right now. No, not that Eat, Pray, Love "finding yourself" mess. I mean I'm literally trying to catch up with life because it is moving way too fast, and I'm barely keeping up.

Pumping Milk Will Bring Out Your Inner Drug Dealer
Ounces. That's the only way I measure time now. I can actually eyeball any liquid and tell you how many ounces it is to nearest 1/2 ounce. Why? Because my life revolves around my pumping schedule.

Officially a (Tired) Working Mom
I got through my first week back at work after my maternity leave. It wasn't as bad as I expected. There is a LOT of work for me to do, but I don't really mind that. What I do mind? The early mornings and long commutes. :mad: I wake up every morning at 4 a.m. (Yes, there's ...
Hope the Runner?
I'm sure this quote will come in handy when I pass out before the finishing line. My new hobby shall be running. It is so ordered. Maybe if I make it a declaration I'll stick to it. :P I like running. It clears your mind and frees you of the day's stress. Even though I hated cross-country ...
Blame the Baby
What? A Saturday post? I know, but I haven't written anything all week because this household has been very heavily focused on our upcoming move. However, I couldn't just leave you guys high and dry. This won't be a profound post, but I just had to tell this quick anecdote about the first time I took ...
Jealous Much?
Have you ever noticed that only a handful of people are TRULY happy for you if you have great news to share? Think about it. How many times have you rolled your eyes at a Facebook status about a someone else's recent engagement, wedding, pregnancy, new job, pay raise, etc.? :roll: If you say never, you're probably lying. ...
