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…

I cut the crust off.
He doesn’t know what Star Wars is, but he’s over the moon for his lunch box.
It was his first day at a new school – a montessori pre-school. We’ve made sacrifices so he could go to this school. He deserves this school.

I left my baby in the car. Also, I might have an aneurysm.
I looked into the backseat and heard silence coming from the car seat.
My colicky baby had been sleeping soundly for the past ten minutes – a welcome reprieve from the high pitch wails of when he is awake.

Voices Of The Year – That time I said stuff in front of lots of people.
I made it to the little meeting room exactly one minute late. I had tried my best to actually be early – but my swollen, pregnant feet would only carry me across the convention center so fast, and my squished bladder needed to be emptied once along the way. I walked in and saw several ladies gathered around a round table. Some were chatting, a couple were going over their printouts of what they were going to read. I sat down next to the one person I knew from the day before. There were quite a few nervous statements about feeling anxious. I smiled… and nodded in agreement… and breathed….

Somebody Sharpie me.
I have been left alone…
for FIVE DAYS…
pregnant…
and with a three year old.
I am wondering what good can come of this.
Baby number two- Chances are it will happen again.
I’ve been looking at this pregnancy as kind of a do-over of sorts. Baby number two was deemed my all natural, no drugs, but I’ve done it before so piece of cake birth.

Maybe the map is wrong-
Shhhh…. early morning.
Go to sleep.
