Hello Darkness My Old Friend
Hello Darkness My Old Friend
2 years and some change into motherhood, 3 years and some change into marriage, and 29 years and a lot of change into life on this planet I am finding myself asking the same old dark depressing questions as before. Alas…time does not actually change ones perspective of life as I thought it would, though isn’t that beautiful in itself? Maybe not, but still I have found myself writing notes to,…

Mental Health Check In – The Mother of All Nihilist Crisis.
It is time for a much-need, long-awaited Mental Health Check In.
You guys. Being a mom is HARD. It is also the most rewarding, most beneficial, soul altering thing you could possibly do with your life. Holding my kids recharges my soul, I swear they do something to me that nothing else in the known universe could.
But here are the cold hard facts; you can’t dedicate your entire life/every…

A Bathroom Greeting
A Bathroom Greeting #drbreshears #flashfiction
‘Is that….is that blood?’
‘Would you like me to lie and make you feel better or tell you the truth?’
She couldn’t comprehend what she was seeing, Ryker’s words fading into the distance as she took stock of her gruesome surroundings.
She had just gotten ready in this bathroom this morning. It was clean. It was well-lived-in but clean.
There was blood on the wall, splattered to the ceiling near…

Hello, kiddo!
We are halfway through week 29 and I feel updates are needed, my little love.
At our last appointment, we learned you are measuring out two weeks ahead, most likely meaning you are a big, strong, healthy baby. So far, all in all, this has been another easy pregnancy, with the same complaints of (WAY) too much morning sickness and cramping. I am starting to get into that…

Haven’t we come so far?
Why are we still doing this?
There is certainly a lot I do not understand being a young white female, but certainly, certainly there are things I really do understand about this.
Racism is EVERYWHERE. It probably is even within me, and my privilege and upbringing have blinded me to it.
But that doesn’t change the way I feel about right and wrong, about non-violence, and…

As I said in my last post, blogging has been the last thing on my mind lately, but I miss it and I miss you all! Here’s a little photo dump from our last adventure on the farm, as we have moved into town to make things easier on the kiddo(s) and mom.

Since COVID madness has hit the world I haven’t really been thinking of blogging or logging my thoughts about pregnancy or life in general, but it hit me today that this is exactly the time I need to be documenting my thoughts, the state of the world, and the stories I have to share with the girl, yes that is right, girl, in my belly during it all!
So here goes.
Storytime!
One fine, sunny Missouri morning your mom and dad decided we should get more serious about Coronavirus social distancing guidelines and read up on what we could find on pregnant women and COVID 19.
Here is what we found out: not much at all.
This whole thing has happened so quickly that there aren’t many cases on pregnant women and newborns, not yet, at least.
You will be a COVID baby, meaning mommy and daddy will not have visitors at the hospital, your older sister will not come to meet you in the first few days, and hospital/doctor protocals will be all new and fresh.
This makes mommy very nervous, but you are doing perfectly fine in there, kiddo, and mom is doing perfectly fine out here.
Quarantine was amazing because, as you will learn quickly, mom is an introvert anyway and being home with no visitors and time to spend with you in my tummy and Maddy at my side was precious.
Mommy and daddy visited your grandparents over the weekend and everyone agrees, MOM IS HUGE this time around. As long as you are healthy, buttercup, all is well!
At 24 weeks you are kicking me quite a bit and seeming to roll around at night when mommy needs to sleep. Keep those kicks coming, though, mommy will miss this!
We love you very much, and we will see you in just a short…16 weeks my love!

My Career Path is in Your Hands. No Really. Tell Me What to Do.
I have been asking myself quite often lately what exactly it is I want to do with my life, as at the ripe age of 28 and in the midst of being pregnant, I feel like I am not doing what I am supposed to be doing.
A close friend recently asked me during a lighthearted conversation what I would be doing if I could do anything in the world (and be qualified for it)…my mind drew a blank, and I came up…

Small Stories for Our Second
When I was pregnant with my first, Madison, I did a blog series called ‘Small Things for You to Know’. This series was mostly for myself, with small updates about the pregnancy and my thoughts to give to my child one day during the journey. I am currently working these posts into a print edition book to give to her on her first birthday, so I decided to keep the tradition going and do another…

Mental Health Monday: What I Want
Mental Health Monday: What I Want
It has certainly been a while since I have posted, or even thought about, a Mental Health Monday post. I feel that my mental health has been the least of my worries or daily concerns here lately, as I am very busy working full time and taking care of my 10-month-old daughter (oh, and another 10-week bun in the oven).
It struck me, today, however, that my mental health is still something to…

My Legacy #parenthood #family
What will be your legacy?
Mine will be a family, a loving, happy, big supportive family left behind me.
Tradition and love are my focus in this lifetime.
My personal happiness need only coincide with my family’s happiness, and our wellbeing overall.
Sometimes it is nice to write these things down, what we really want on a basic level, to really drive the point home. It is beneficial to put…

‘He wasn’t even in the car with me anymore, he was just sitting by himself outside the driver’s side door with his hands on his head and his pants around his ankles’, the crackling voice on the other line laughed as she took another drag off of her freshly lit cigarette. ‘Fuck, how do you even get yourself into these situations, Liz? It’s almost like you just sit around town looking for the most…

When You Read This, Think of Us
I never knew you.
I knew your words.
There was something sparked within me upon first discovering your sentences, the way you made your intimate lines dance before me. It made me blush, but not in a physical way.
A strong desire to know you grew, but again, not in a physical way.
I wanted to know what you desired most, what you left out of your writing, what drove you to put the pen to the pad…

In Case He Comes Back
In Case He Comes Back #flashfiction #istillgotit #drbreshears #writemore #nanowrimo
Most people wouldn’t step foot inside Mrs. Doloras’ home.
The rumors spread like wildfire after her son died.
She herself, of course, did not believe these rumors, but she also didn’t very well like putting herself into potentially dangerous situations.
The situation was out of her hands, however, as she was hired to do a job and do a job she must.
Mrs. Doloras was a small old thing, and her…
