I had attempted to name this blog, "If Mama Ain't Happy" as a play on the southern phrase, "If Mama ain't Happy, then no one's happy." Once again, I am not an original thinker and the other title was chosen. I am very slow and hesitant about placing my words where others can see them. I am getting over that. I am hoping to really open up on this page.
Tomorrow is my 34th birthday. It is a day that I have had enormous difficulties in handling. My parents either A) forgot or B) used it as an opportunity to remind me of how messed up their lives became after being parents.
I went to see my therapist today who used a technique called tapping to help me reduce my stresss over the day.He helped me create a mantra that I say repeatedly while tapping these points. Here is an article with more:

While I did not expect much, it seems to have helped. Yesterday was a frustrating day and I would try anything. I'll update tomorroe on how it is working.

Welcome to my Blog!
You will find that I have a tendency to blog a lot about my family . The main reason is that no matter hard I have tried to escape, they keep pulling me back.
I am an almost 34 year old mother of two daughters. I am currently doing the full time mommy gig with hopes of returning to work world in a year. I am supposed to be registering for graduate school as well. So far, I have yet to discover the right combination of drugs to hellp me face the enormous amount of debt that I will be incurring.
I have been married to the same rock of Gibraltar for over ten years. We live in Athens, GA where my husband works with computers at UGA.
We also have two golden retriever mixes on whom we practiced our parenting skills for over a decade before the real deal arrived.
We have two daughters who are 11 months apart- 1.5 and 2.5 going on 37. Our eldest is in a 5 day a week preschool program and the youngest goes to MMO one day a week.
Most of the postings you will see will include my descriptions of day to day activities of our family. Also, there will be musings on life, the universe, and everything.
Read in stride, no judgements, and happy reading!
