seven Chinese brothers swallowing the sea
Somebody read me to sleep. 6:48 am and I’m not even working.
I woke up at 3:30, and it is now 6:12. Not sure why. I’m looking over photos of me that were taken today. I haven’t cut my hair in over a year, and it shows. There’s nothing I can really do with it. It takes way too long to blow dry, wave it, etc. So it’s coming off manana. I have this thing about looking good for my C-section, like it’s some kind of big...
So I have to plan my son’s first birthday around the Super Bowl. Being that I am born on the first of February, my birthday would fall on that day sometimes. I’m not a football fan, neither is my husband. We might feign interest here and there. But this is for family’s sake. A part of me kinda wants to say, screw you guys, I’m keeping it on Sunday. It’s kinda like...
Lunch with husband (aka angry white male)
Joe: The acoustics in this Chipotle are awful. See the ceiling? So loud.
Me: I know, hearing everyone’s conversation and their echo.They always play downtempo music that sounds like its coming from a walrus’ ass. Perhaps I should get double zero plugs in my ears like the workers here and that will make it better. Also, Joe: whitewhine.
It’s really hard to feel jealous about a girl who makes comments about a pregnant woman’s eating habits and brags that her man who’s in a halfway house is going to buy her a new Jag in the same breath. I’ll try to stay dignified and keep my wit to those who aren’t knuckle draggers.
I’ve been on autopilot, I guess I can blame myself to a certain extent. As good as it gets.

I’ve had a really unstable and dramatic life. Raped twice, molested by several family friends, beat by my parents and ex boyfriends, and much much more. I also am extremely bi polar (I’ve been diagnosed several different times by different psychiatrists since I was 6 years old). I’ve tried to…

A little bit about that odd phenomenon, “half-sleep”.
Dear Lukas,
It has been over eleven months since I was introduced to you and you held onto my finger tightly. I read about this little baby instinct before you were born and thought I’d try it when I was in the post-op recovery room after my C-section. Immediately, I felt this great responsibility and the lightness that everything will be ok. Now that you’re almost a year old, you do...
It’s 3 am, I have to be up all day tomorrow, and I have 4 more chapters of maternity to read. Epic fail. Shutting off computer.
I’ve been losing sight of the prize and beginning to wonder where my fortitude for nursing went.

Update
1. Studying OB/Perinatal. Taking Complex Med Surg later since I will be having a C-section in about 4 weeks and I won’t be back to my normal self in time to get a doctor’s clearance.
2. Pregnancy is going well. I think I am experiencing less estrogen due to the fact that I don’t have a linea nigra, and other symptoms.
3. Went to the Highland Games . Watched a bunch of big...

today, and thought it said, “Chased my middle finger,” and was super inspired.
As in, “I chased my middle finger to my dreams.”
As if we should all run into this world, fucking middle fingers up and blazing, and sprint to our destinations in this life.
Not in a bringing-other-people-down kind…
This is exactly how i feel right now.
