With the not noticing.
Hot Nerd: (stroking my hair in bed) Oh, look at that! You got something sparkly in your ear.
Me: (touching the stud earrings I was wearing) Um… yeah. (listening to the monitor from our older son’s room) I bought these with that gift card my mom got me for my birthday.
Best 15 minutes in a long time.
I sat there in my parked car in the garage for a few minutes. There was no three year old asking endless questions. There was no wailing baby in the backseat. There was no husband grilling me on which way was North, which way was South, and how much of the monthly budget money I had left.

America’s Fit Party – Because kids don’t have credit cards.
Dancing is good for the body. Dancing is good for the soul.

This colic too shall pass…
We’ve just passed the four month mark.
It’s as if the Gods smiled down on us and said “Let the colic pass.”

Carpet holds on to dirt.
In our case, it also holds on to the smell of dog urine from the previous tenants…
even after shampooing…
and scrubbing…
and ridiculous amounts of vacuuming.

Susan Nieber, I only just found you.
The blogosphere is likely to be on fire today with the name Susan Nieber…

I only found her blog a week ago, which some of you may find odd since she was widely known for her blog, Toddler Planet.
Some words and phrases that I now associate with Susan:

Valentines Day is coming up and Care.com asked to interview me for their Date Night Series.
I was like, “Really?”
They were all, “Yes, really.”
I was like, “Are you sure?”
They were all like, “We think so.”
I said, “Okay.”
They were like, “Cool.”

Hello Depression. 1, 2, 3, down they go.
The clock struck midnight and we didn’t even know it.
A new year was starting as we stood, teary-eyed and paralyzed.
He said he would leave me if I didn’t get help.
For a moment, I didn’t care either way.
***
The darkness had become too much.
The anxiety…
