My husband had been gone for a couple of days, and I have been on my own. Normally, my father in law comes to help, but since this is a short trip, I didn't want to ask him to come all the way down here. So, I have been toughing it out on my own. … Continue reading On My Own

Losing Weight
I am in a weight loss journey. A mission if you will. I have been very chubby for too long. As a result I have been dieting the past few weeks, and I have seen some success. My husband likes me as I am. He likes my fluffiness and big boobs, so the pressure isn't … Continue reading Losing Weight
Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Having some sort of schedule can help boost your productivity. One of the things I love about this life is that I don't have a boss, and only answer to my husband. I guess you could say my husband is my boss, but he loves me so that's different. But when your whole day is … Continue reading Scheduling for Stay at Home Wives
Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting
I spent some time listening to lectures today. I listened to an introduction to Kierkegaard that I found interesting. His notion that ethics and religion do not go hand in hand, but are opposed to each other is a captivating idea. I also completed a documentary series on the early queens of England. This morning … Continue reading Kierkegaard, Queens, Painting
Catholicism and Contraception

One I get caught up on though, is the Catholic requirement to be "open to life" - to not use any form of contraception, and be willing to have more … Continue reading Catholicism and Contraception

I miss homeschooling and having her with me all day, but this is a lot less stress. Yesterday … Continue reading Long Days Alone
Riding the Rollercoaster
If I could show you my mood graph, you would see few jagged peaks interspersed with long valleys lately. Functioning has been difficult. However, over the weekend having my husband here has been a balm to my soul. We've gotten important shopping done, watched the new Jurassic World, and worked on the house. He went … Continue reading Riding the Rollercoaster

Mommy Daughter Date
Today Angelica and I hung out. I took her to the fabric store with me, and we bought a ton of fabric. I let her get a yard of any fabric she chose, as well as a quarter. I got a bunch of rainbow fabrics to use as photo backdrops. Then I surprised her with … Continue reading Mommy Daughter Date
