My eyes are puffy and red from crying last night. I’m supposed to be over the moon excited. We (Mamoru and I) are leaving for Cambodia today (our first trip together to an unknown place in years). Since we started trying to have a baby seriously and then started focusing on adoption, we decided to… Continue reading Mental health: poor…
It’s about three days left and then I’m out of here. To be honest I couldn’t be happier. Yet I’ve been fighting back tears all day to leave my niece who I love more than words. The past two days I did a little babysitting for my sister. In that time I played with my… Continue reading A lot of sad…
My cousin messaged me today to express her concern about the earthquake. Within that message was her telling me that she was pregnant and that she knows we had been trying and that she hopes the news wasn’t too hard to hear. See in 2016 when our fertility troubles had just started (that was when… Continue reading A pregnancy (not mine)…
I’ve been drinking so I hope this comes out as coherently as I planned. First of all forgive my absence yet again. Shingo is here again, and it’s been balls to the wall every day. Seriously, I haven’t had a second to breathe. Every day has been something, and I’m about to lose my damn… Continue reading “Don’t be afraid. Bad dreams are only dreams.”
Hello everyone! WordPress sent me a notification that I’ve received 200 followers. Holy shit! That’s pretty damn amazing is all I can say. From the bottom of my heart…thank you. What better way to celebrate than to offer those new followers a quick recap. If you’re new to this blog here’s a quick summary. For… Continue reading 200! A recap…
Yesterday was rough. Rough. Another adoption closed on the online NPO. Another child we applied to adopt given to another couple and not us. Meanwhile, literally everywhere I was was swarmed with families. You’d think it was a holiday but no. A plain old Monday. I saw a mama on her bicycle. One child in… Continue reading Babies, Japanese, and friendship…
I don’t even know where to begin. I’m physically and mentally exhausted. Every inch of my body hurts, and my heart aches as well. It’s been a weekend for the books. That’s for sure. I guess I’ll start with the physical pain. I did yoga yesterday for the first time in what seemed like decades. … Continue reading The weekend part 1: Saturday…
It’s Netflix Friday again. I’m waiting for “Santa Clarita Diet” to drop. It’s a heartwarming zomcom. Check it out if like me you like weird as fuck shit and Timothy Olyphant. Mmm… While I’m waiting for that, I’m also waiting for Small Lady’s breakfast to digest a bit before taking her out for a walk. … Continue reading Adoption, parenting, and general updates…
Hello! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I am recovering from a 6AM wake up yesterday and a late night out and a 7:30AM wake up this morning. (If I was tired because of children I think I’d be less likely to complain, but unfortunately that’s not the case right now.) On Saturday Mamoru… Continue reading About the weekend and the MC…
I guess that’s just how some days are…good & bad. Today was arctic. I’m so tired of the cold. Where are our warm days? Hurry up spring! Nonetheless, Mamoru and I went out this afternoon and did our EX Raids after I made breakfast crepes. After that we both got ready. While I was getting… Continue reading Good & bad…
