I do NOT have high self esteem

IMG_0015

When I was growing up, my house was full of “Oh Cheryl, don’t worry about what they say, you’re beautiful” and my mother always lamenting she was fat. Me, being the nice child, always assured her that she was not fat, but it didn’t seem to matter how often I said it, it never stuck. [...]

It Gets Better

If you’ve been watching TV lately, you might notice a lot of celebrities telling (mostly) teens that Life does INDEED get better. This movement generally started when lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgendered (shortened to LGBT for the rest of the post) people ended their life endlessly from bullying.
According to Wikipedia, Bullying is-
Bullying is a form of abuse. [...]

FINALLY saw the rheumatologist!

026 Types of joints found in the human body

I realized that when I started the 30 things in 30 days meme I wasn’t really blogging anything else. Here and there I had a random post when I felt the urge to write.

How I Lost Weight

scale

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions asking me how I lost weight. If you couldn’t tell already, I handle a lot of life through joking. Most of the time it’s a coping mechanism. If I don’t laugh, I’ll cry.
I’m going to tell you some secrets. Something that I don’t usually tell people, [...]

I’M failing this motherhood thing!

girls

3.5 really isn’t my favourite age. Lauren was pretty good up until recently. And now? Now I wonder if the terrible twos are contagious. Even though Jillian has a FABULOUS vocabulary, she has the temper of a 2 year old. But this post isn’t about my second born, although, yesterday, she was skating on thin [...]

So, I have an amazing husband, right? (I’ve told you how awesome Adam is before) Well, before I go into my day as a chronic procrastinator, I needed to give you some back ground. Every weekend, Adam usually gets up with the girls. He lets me sleep in every weekend. He’s good like that. Also? [...]

How much do I suck? Let me count the ways!

65

Ok seriously? I don’t get half of these things that were said to me. I just shake my head and vent to my MIL and hope that she laughs with me. And thankfully, she does. She’s a good woman to have around. ESPECIALLY when we’re venting about HER inlaw family!
So, this past weekend was Adam’s [...]

Welcome Bobbie!!

OSM_125button

So instead of MY usual ramblings and whining (And boy… Do I have some for you. Like the past weekend at Adam’s grandparents house where I was accused I was starving Jillian and not LETTING her walk, because hell, she looks so smart.) I decided to hand the reigns over to a wonderful friend of [...]

Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary!

love

Wow. 5 years ago tomorrow (August 27, 2005) Adam and I tied the knot. Hard to believe in September we’ll be together for 10 years. Some days, it seems like a LOT longer than that.
It was a dark and stormy night. Actually, no it wasn’t. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon. I [...]
