I've been away from Blogging for so long that I am at a loss for words. That is so unlike me.......maybe it is because today was a complete gong show and my brain is fried, or maybe my life is just really that boring?
SNAP....just snapped the elastic band that I have around my wrist. I am trying a new method to reinforce positive thinking. Whenever a negative, self-defeating thought enters my mind, I snap the elastic and it hurts like a SOB and somehow I will start associating negative thoughts with pain, so I will have less negative thoughts and more positive ones. That, or I will just stop thinking all together.
About Me
- Mamaloup
- Manitoba, Canada
- As the mamaloup (mother wolf) of my family, I decided it is necessary to document the daily thoughts and memories of this time in my life. In a confused, sleep-deprived and mildly insane state I wonder how much of this precious time I will in fact remember in the future. Therefore...the creation of this blog. I hope that this will also be an easy way to communicate with friends and family, show recent photos and put into words all the thoughts I would convey if I actually had the time to sit down and have coffee with a couple of friends.
My family
My beautiful family consists of a bright and alert baby boy, a sweet little three year old girl who is the light of my life, a very active preschool boy who is my pride and joy, and my amazing husband, who keeps me sane.
