“Well aren’t you living on the edge?” says Dad. He means I’m drinking a cup of coffee in the afternoon. Maybe it will keep me up past 7:30 tonight. It certainly can’t hurt my sleeping pattern at this point. I’m exhausted. But that’s not why I’m writing today. Nope. I’m not going to complain today. […]
My Deep Dark Secret
“I want to write but I have nothing to write about,” I said to my mom. “Brittany, you always have something to write about,” she replies. Hmm. What to write about. I start a few rough drafts but nothing really feels right. It’s just not working for me. “Why not?” I think to myself. Because […]
An Open Letter to My Psychiatrist
Dear Psychiatrist, It was an ordinary appointment. Nothing special at all. Until the end. When you said you had something to tell me. Then I got scared. Not because I didn’t know what was coming, but because I did. I knew what you were going to say before you said it. “I’ve been given a […]
Real Life
It’s been a little bit longer than I’d like to go between posts, but I have a good reason. I promise. I’ve been on vacation! I brought my computer along to get some writing in, but I think I might have opened the thing once. So no writey writey on the bloggy bloggy. My grandparents […]

Motherhood does not come naturally to me. It is something I have to work at every day. It takes a conscious effort. Some days Skylar watches way too much TV. And some days the most I can bring myself to do is read a bedtime story. I consider playing a game a small victory and […]
#sorrynotsorry
Uncomfortable. That’s how I’ve felt since publishing my previous post on social media. Uncomfortable. That’s how I believe I’ve made people feel. Uncomfortable. That’s why these things need to be said. My last post made me pretty vulnerable. So vulnerable that I waited almost a full week before publishing it on Facebook. I was afraid […]
20 Questions
I’ve been feeling restless. Again. I feel like I write about that a lot on this blog. Feeling unfulfilled. Not knowing what I’m doing with my life. Feeling directionless. Wandering without a purpose. Wanting something more. I was sitting in my psychiatrist’s office the other day feeling slightly annoyed with all the stupid questions he […]
