Sooooo I spaced and thought it was Tuesday all day on Wednesday! Hence the lack of blog post. Sorry about that guys! Mom Brain is real and it’s a total bitch. How messed up is it that from a biological standpoint we’re given a tiny human (or two plus in some cases) to keep aliveContinue reading “Mom Brain”

I’ve come to believe that having children keeps you humble. You go along thinking that you’re hot shit and that you have it all figured out and then WHAM! KIDS! They present you with new problems and craziness that make you question both your sanity and skills among other things. And they continue doing it!Continue reading “Lessons in Humility as Taught By My Children”

Am I the only person that gives their past self feedback? I do it all the time. Put the clothes in the dryer last night even though I was tired? Great job Past Diana. Decided that freeze tag was a good idea at the company team building night? F U Past Diana! You are theContinue reading “Talking to Myself”

I grew up in a house with one bathroom that all four of us had to share. It in NO WAY prepared me for the insanity of sharing a bathroom with kids. They are the worst roommates I’ve ever had and currently only two of them use the potty. We have two bathrooms and theyContinue reading “The Toilet Paper Bandit And The Perils of Sharing Your Bathroom With Kids”

I love it when I feel like I don’t have any weird/funny stories to share with you and God looks down and says ” I got you boo.” (Queen Latifah voice remember.) Last night I excitedly fed the twins PURPLE baby food. I can’t even remember what was in it but I was so excitedContinue reading “Purple Baby Food”

I’m very fortunate as a new Mom to have found some awesome Mom friends who I can turn to when things are insane (which is pretty much all the time). One of these dear friends is Hillary. We connect on many levels. As she says, “While I’m sure most working Moms live a life ofContinue reading “Some Traditions Are Meant To Be Broken”

I believe that oftentimes laughter is the only thing that keeps me going. Sometimes I think of it like a little trolling motor on the crazy ass pontoon boat that is my life. Once, while out on the lake my grandparents lived on, the motor stopped working on their party barge. We were close enoughContinue reading “My Trolling Motor”

I started writing my post for yesterday and just couldn’t get into the groove so I stepped away from it. Now I think it was meant to happen. So here you are, a special Thursday addition of Mom Van Confessions. This morning I took the Twins to their 9 month check up. As I satContinue reading “Shit!”

A couple of months ago I lost my husband…in our house…for about six hours. Yes, you read that right. Take a minute to read it again if you need. I’ll wait… A few things are worth noting here: 1) My Husband HAS disappeared before. PTSD is a bitch. We’ll talk about that one day. 2)Continue reading “That Time I Lost My Husband”
