Mental Health

Help. It’s not a four letter word.

I want to be able to do it all. By myself. I want to work out 3 hours a day. And win this whole fucking Lose to Win thing. I want to stay on top of the laundry. And reply to all my emails in a timely manner. Or respond to all my emails at all. […]

my dirty (not so) little secret

June 12, 2012 by not your average mom 7 Comments

My alarm goes off every morning at 4:00 a.m.  I usually hit snooze a couple times, but I’m sitting at the computer sometime between 4:30 and 4:45 every morning. Although it’s early, I look forward to this little sliver of “me” time.  I get my coffee, go up to the office, and start writing.  I love being […]
