5, or 10, or 15…

By amanda January 12th, 2010

It’s amaz­ing what a few extra min­utes, taken for your­self will do for your mood.  Granted, this morn­ing I took those min­utes to wash my face and brush my teeth with a kiddo attatched to my leg.  My few min­utes to pick out a nicer shirt and be cat hair free was met with whines […]

Self inflicted…

By amanda July 14th, 2009

Today, a year after I had the kiddo I look about like what I did when I left the hos­pi­tal.  This is damn near a daily source of drama for me.  Today, a year after the kiddo, I also came to a con­clu­sion.
I’m not in my twen­ties any­more.  I’m not 150 pounds any­more.  One of […]

*POW*…

By amanda May 20th, 2009

Its warm here today, I guess Sum­mer is around the cor­ner.  I always for­get how June creeps up on you and then *POW* it’s Sum­mer.  A lot of things have been that way lately…*POW* I mean…I’ve been hav­ing some *POW* moments.  Some­times they suck, but no mat­ter what they wake you up.
So a few smacks in […]

Stupid measurments…

By amanda January 28th, 2009

I’ve been eat­ing better…well less at least.  I’ve been drink­ing water (not beer).  I’ve been get­ting more exer­cise, feel­ing smaller, feel­ing more fit, and dare I say like I have been look­ing bet­ter.  So when I get some boots that don’t fit my calves what do i do?  I don’t say “damn it, boots never […]

Summer lovin…

By amanda May 17th, 2008

I’m glad I wont be preg­nant in the dead of sum­mer.  The “oh my God, it’s so hot I cant breath” of sum­mer, the “I know its a dec­o­ra­tive pond…I don’t care I’m div­ing in any­way” of sum­mer.  I should be done before it gets REALLY nasty out. 
Many women I know have said they’d rather […]

Battlefield Amanda…

By amanda April 10th, 2008

Today came with a rush of hor­mones.  Before I know it I’m back in the car, on the way home, balling my eyes out.   Sher­man was home when I got back…some hard­core tears and a nap later and I’m feel­ing better…for now.
I decided I should try to get out of the house for a bit.  […]

I can do anything for nine months…right?…

By amanda April 8th, 2008

Appar­ently the third trimester is the part of your preg­nancy when you start to go…“O.k. can we be done yet?”…or at least that seems to be the con­sen­sus view.  I would have to agree today. 
I got a great nights sleep, fan­tas­tic, heavy, didn’t get up to pee once!  (then it started to occur to me […]
