She’s in love. She’s the other woman.
Abigail has her first crush. He’s a 28 year old soccer player from Uganda, and lovingly called Uncle Biggie by Abigail. He also refers to her as Biggie…a.BIG.ail.
This morning, while combing Abigail’s hair, she told me that “Tee Tee (Auntie) Bria is bye-bye. Uncle Biggy loves Abbi not Tee [...]
First Love….
Don’t forget to celebrate the little things!
Each day is filled with little moments…moments that can make any horrible day into an okay day if you keep things into perspective. I was fully prepared to be in a miserable mood yesterday; I just thought it was going to be that kind of day. But it wasn’t….and I did nothing to intentionally change [...]

A walk down memory lane, courtesy of Facebook wall-to-wall…
I’m not exactly sure who I am anymore. Looking back, I had so many factors that defined ME. I had interests, I had things I was passionate about. Most of all, I knew me. Now, I’m unsure.
So much has changed in the last 2.5 years. Graduation, relocation (twice!), Abigail. And a break-up with the person I [...]
Just another Manic Monday….
What’s your favorite beach in the world?
I’m not a beach person, really. I really liked North Carolina, but Austrailia would be cool. Obviously.
What’s the next country you want to visit?
Kenya or Uganda. I want Abigail to know her roots.
What one thing are you craving today?
Security. And Mexican food.

Me and the Doctor
I had a really crabby post about, well, how crabby I am. But I’ll do this instead.
5 things I hope to teach Abigail. With Help from the Doctor. Seuss, that is.
1. You should always go after you want. Those who are truly there for you will support you, even though they may question you.
“Be who [...]
At last.
It’s been a semi-rough move. I don’t regret it for even one milli-second, but somethings are not shaping up how I envisioned. Mainly daycare. Wait. Only daycare. In Missouri, the ratio of licensed care providers to children is astronomically high. And, boy, does it show! I’ve had the worst time trying to find a child [...]
Worldess Wednesday. On Thursday. With Words.
A zebra. Driving a zebra-mobile.
Yes, JIL. She is wearing Crocs. She loves them. And can put them on herself, which in turn allows me to love them.
A minute in my mind…
My eyes are watering. It looks like I’m crying, but I’m not. I promise. Plus, I would be huddled in the bathroom corner if I was. Is it allergies?
Daycare is stressing me way out. What if I am allergic to finding a daycare for Abigail? Or allergic to not having her here with me? That [...]
