My Journey Through Motherhood

Mommy Malaise

As you can see, I haven't been keeping up with this blog as I had intended to. The last three weeks have been pretty hellacious. Husband is on his final deployment before getting out of the military, and it was more depressing that any of the other times. There were days when son was eating chicken nuggets or macaroni and cheese. Not that he minded - he loves chicken nuggets.

So, two days till husband arrives, I'm going to have to do some mad cleaning because I've kind of let the house go - and he's more of a neat freak than I am (but not too much of one) and would probably not like coming home to a house that looks like it's been ransacked. Yup, by a toddler no less. Need ransacking done, call us. Son will have house turned upside down in less than an hour.

In an attempt to set some order around here, I started implementing discipline, but then it became this push-pull relationship, and I would begin to wonder if it's worth the fight. So, attempts at not being a pushover mom are thwarted by my own thinking. Or laziness. It's anyone's call at this point.

In an attempt to get my site a little more interesting, I've added some new links (check out the Ovulation Calendar - not just for those who want a baby!) and finally put up the least objectionable photo of myself. It's a little old, since I will not put up photos of me in my pajamas and unwashed hair, and those seem abundant, strangely enough. But, I assure you, you're not missing much by not seeing them!

Hey Maria,

I love your blog. I haven't had a chance to see your actual site until now. I've just been reading your stuff on Facebook. I clicked the "View Original Post" and here I am. What a wealth of resources. I'll add you to my faves.

I feel blessed that we've reconnected after all these years. I feel we are so much on the same page with a lot of these lifestyle choices.

Hang in there, Mama!
