Joss Whedon Commencement Speech

Oklahoma & Middle East

Let me start with this: The tornado in Oklahoma was absolutely devastating. I am not downplaying the absolute tragedy of people who have lost their loved ones due to the tornado. But another thought I had was this; 95 people were killed today in Iraq. It is somewhat comforting to know that the tornado was caused by nature, and not by hate.

Mother's Day

I'm very lucky to have the mom that I do!

Opinion

I'm not a mother. So maybe that means I can't really talk here, but since this is my blog, I'm a-gonna.

I think it is annoying when I am going through my facebook feed and I see moms complaining about how tired they are and how they can't ever get a moment to themselves and how they have been running around all day and wouldn't it be nice if they could just take a nap without a baby waking them up or go a day without having to clean marker off the walls/get crammed cheerios out from the couch/any other thing that comes with the territory of having a tiny human in your house?

Let me be clear, I am NOT saying that it is annoying because I think that being a mother isn't a "real" job. I don't think that. But I DO think "you know...you CHOSE to have those kids. It was a CHOICE. And if you weren't aware of the responsibilities and inconveniences that comes with parenthood, then maybe you should have thought things through a little longer before fulfilling what seemed to be your life dream in the first place." And if anything, arrange it with your husband so child-rearing isn't a solo-career!

Okay. Rant over.

Lawn Mower

The sound of a lawn mower and the smell of fresh cut grass is my favorite. Especially after this long winter! Spring is my favorite season!

Difference

There is a difference between seeing a number on a scale and seeing pictures of myself that really throws my weight gain in my face.

Feeling very negative feelings. Anger, disappointment, insecurity, discouraged, stupid.
