I Won't Complain

Today is one of those emotional days where I don't feel very good about myself. I was looking at the pictures in my screen saver of me and my family members and I thought about how much prettier it seemed my in-laws and siblings look than I do. I figure it has something to do with hormones but I try not to be too hasty with those particular types of pronouncements upon myself. However, the teary eyes and tell-tale lump in my throat keep giving it away. But I had to think it through so that I could come to this conclusion. Every one has good days where they feel hot, sexy, beautiful, and brilliant. Everyone has bad days where they sometimes don't even feel human and much less hot, sexy, beautiful, and brilliant. And I am one of those people who seem to have the monopoly on displaying the finesse and grace of a one-legged grasshopper, but no matter: This too shall pass.

It's Me Again

Okay, It has been and entire TWO years since my last post to this page and I am deeply ashamed. As you have probably guessed, many things can happen in two years. For me I became a mommy, again. For the third time. To yet another boy (I already had two boys). My body did not rebound in the remarkable way it did with the first two children (both born to me while I was in my twenties) in the amount of time that I wanted. I did not return to my pre-pregnancy weight (Thank God) but I did not lose all that I expected to lose either. However, I maintain that all the inconveniences and physical disapprovals are worth my chubby now two month old cherub. I had two great children already but it's even more humbling to have a new little one that I can say is "a good baby." So I'll trade my pre-thirties physique for what and who I have in my life right now. More on my journey later.
