Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's Off to Work I Go

Had to head into the office today. Everyone went along with the show this morning and we didn't have too many glitches. Other than the fact that someone likes to eat the Play-Dough. I gave her one warning and told her it was going away if she ate it again, so of course she ate it again. I know she knows what I am saying and is just testing me to see if I will do what I threaten. I tell you, it is hard to be firm and consistent. Especially when she looks up at me with a single tear in her eye and points at the Play-Dough and says "Doe...more...peez!"

And as for the first day at the nanny yesterday... 2.0 was PERFECT. He stayed on schedule, went down for his naps with no issues, didn't cry or fuss and ate just a little less than each bottle I sent over. When I picked them up the nanny said, "he's nothing like the Gremlin was back then." No, he isn't, THANK GOD!!!

And of course big sister LOVED having him there with her all day long.

As for me, I was surprisingly good. Work was busy, which helped. And I picked everyone up a little early and went to the park. It was a great way to start real life again. Sigh...

Here are some shots from this morning of my happy boy doing a little morning wake up cheer and the two of them in their matching overalls. :)

    Make peanut butter playdough with the Gremlin. She can eat it and build. Best of all worlds. The face 2.0 is making in the third picture is very familar to me :-)

      Thanks T. I will try that. And yes, that face in the third photo looks like the photo of Maddy when we sat her in the highchair and you said she looked just like me sitting at my desk at work. :)

My Five Lighthouses

The reaction to an article I shared recently has made me realize that perhaps sharing more of my struggle with mental health, anxiety and depression would be helpful for me and others. This is intended to be my story, but I welcome you to add yours to it. Today's post is about the things I have learned that help me. Please find the things that help you. For decades, anxiety, depression, impostor syndrome, self-doubt and low self-esteem have been issues of varying degrees for me. They have ranged from a little voice I try to ignore to the inability to get out of bed, eat or even feed my children. I've seen many counselors, tried medications... albeit briefly, and tried to just force myself "out of it." And while I am not an expert, I have come to learn that there are five things that I need in my life to help keep things in balance. Animals . I need animals in my life in a meaningful way. My cat, Bec (whom I chronicled in this blog early on), saved my life m...

Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs

I believe 100% that the universe (or God or Allah or whatever you think helps us be part of more than ourselves) sends us signs. They can be very subtle, more like a light wind than a burning bush. Or they can be so overt we feel foolish for not heeding them. Lately, I've had the fire department on speed dial with all the burning bushes in my life. In the past three weeks, I've gotten multiple signs about multiple items in my life. There was the nightmare about an inoperable brain tumor that made it clear I need to talk to someone about a problem I was having with them. There was the conversation with my sister about husky rescues and rain that resulted in rain for the first time in weeks and a potential adoption opportunity (no, we did not get another husky, much to my dismay). There was the person who walked past my house five days in a row with a literal sign on  before I realized I hadn't gone outside in five days. And now, another one just happened and I can't igno...
