lately i’ve been replacing my “i’m sorry”s with “thank you”s, like instead of “sorry i’m late” i’ll say “thanks for waiting for me”, or instead of “sorry for being such a mess” i’ll say “thank you for loving me and caring about me unconditionally” and it’s not only shifted the way i think and feel about myself but also improved my relationships with others who now get to receive my gratitude instead of my negativity

2017

New year, but same old me.

I have writing goals and need somewhere to write.

If there are any ones out there still listening, I hope my words can speak to you this year.

Sarcasm and insults FTW.

Wrong numbers should be very careful texting me. If this fool texts me back, I'm going to start offering grammar, punctuation, and spelling advice right before I lecture them on how to properly woo a woman. #idiot #wrongnumbertext #funny #wrongnumber

Anytime the baby is in the bassinet, Kesha demands to snuggle. Sweet fur baby!

[wordsnquotes]

I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I’m beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.

Hermann Hesse, Demian (via emergentpattern)

Hubby brought the Christmas ornament wrappings down from the attic and Chachi decided that a garbage bag full of paper towels was a great place for an afternoon nap. #cats #catstagram #catsofinstagram #pets #petstagram #petsofinstagram

I tried to get festive expressions out of these two, but they wouldn't cooperate. #cats #catstagram #catsofinstagram #pets #petstagram #petsofinstagram

33 weeks

7 weeks or so left in this pregnancy. I am so ready to have this child, I can taste it. I can’t describe the taste, but trust me, I can taste it.

Everything is achy and my biggest challenge each day is spending an hour and a half getting ready to drive 30 minutes to work. After a full 8-9 hours of getting up and down constantly from my desk, I have another half hour drive home. Then I just rest until I have to do it all again the next day.

I’m hoping my Dr takes me off work soon. I’m thinking I am going to need a few weeks of rest before this baby makes her grand entrance.

I’m just so ready to meet her. Having her outside my body will present a whole new set of challenges and tiredness, but oh god, I’m ready for her to not be inside me anymore!
