Are you my friendin real life or online? There's a good chance you are. I have a lot of friends. I'm not bragging, but it's true. I've worked hard to stay in touch and stay connected with my friends. I've even gone out of my way to make new friends (gasp!). I like having good people in my life.

I feel sick to my stomach with guilt that I haven't posted here in so long. But you see—I have a good excuse: I was too busy being sick to my stomach with a nasty virus, and was in bed for five days.

Does Everything Make You Cry?

ME NEITHER. SERIOUSLY. I'M NOT LYING. I'M AN EMOTIONLESS ROCK.

Question for you parents: Now that you have offspring, do you cry your face off all the time? At everything even remotely heart-warming?

Five Tips for New Moms

AS A NEW MOM, I'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF ADVICE...

As a new mom, I have received a lot of advice.

Some good, some bad. 

Some solicited, some unsolicited.

From everyone. Everywhere. All of the time. In fact, it started when I was pregnant and hasn't stopped.

So. The time has come. I am three weeks away from returning to work.

Since we've moved to the 'burbs and now have storage space, the Grandmas got a little excited at Christmas. And by little, I mean a lot. They were probably singing carols, squeaking out excited farts as they raced down the aisles of Toys R Us.

*Side Note* I have a theory that the reason you smell farts so often in shopping malls/grocery stores is because people get excited and their sphincters relax.

It's Hard Being The Mom

Sometimes I Wish I Could Detach Myself From My Boob

I love being a Mom. I am very fortunate to have a happy and healthy baby who I formed a strong connection with instantly. I have a very strong support system, I receive a lot of help, and am surrounded by love. Yet, I am still finding myself exhausted and overwhelmed at times.

The bottom line is: It's hard being The Mom.

After spending 2 weeks sitting on my a$$ watching the world's best athletes compete, it got me thinking:

Maybe I should train and become an Olympic athlete? (I always do this, just ask my husband.) Anytime I'm inspired by ANYTHING, I want to be a part of it.

Me: "Oh yeah. I hate math. Nevermind."

And just like that, I forget about it.
