Mann Clan May 2013

May 24, 2013

I’ve been a bad blogger. I’ve been absent here. Life is busy right now. Really really busy. I hate not having time to write. I have 27 posts in drafts. That has never happened. I just get out of the shower and enter a title and a brain dump never to return. It sucks but it [...]

The Mental Health of Motherhood

May 15, 2013

Last week I was able to attend the Listen To Your Mother show for Raleigh/Durham put on by my good friend Keanne. It was beautiful and hearing all the women’s stories was so special. They were funny, caring, sarcastic and REAL. Motherhood isn’t all newborn snuggles and bake sales. It’s gritty and puts you up [...]

Mother’s Day For the Already Spoiled Mom

May 14, 2013

How was my Mother’s Day? It was perfection. I stayed in bed until 8am. This is the first year he has gotten into it. When the first box came from Think Geek, he and Kevin scurried upstairs to open it. He has held those secrets for weeks. Then they went to Target last week and [...]

How I Survive Evenings

May 6, 2013

The Reset Button

April 12, 2013

The past few months, I have felt like I have been on auto pilot. Not unhappy. Not stressed out. Just stuck in a rut…of all kinds. Everything just running as it should…just nothing really exciting. Get up, feed the kids, go to work, pump, feed the baby, pack up, go home, make dinner, do bedtime, [...]

This isn’t a post I was planning on writing for a bit.  That may come off as sad but it’s really just a statement. To warn you of the feelings, or lack thereof, and word vomit that are coming your way. So here goes: Ollie and I are coming to an end of a journey [...]

Let’s Send the Hobo Packin

March 19, 2013

So today I get 4 holes cut into me and a nice Asian doctor is going to play hide and go seek in my abdomen. Honestly, I’m pretty nervous considering I’ve only been under for wisdom teeth and they really don’t know what they are working with until they are in there. I’m bumming I [...]
