it's hard to describe all that a doula does

About Me

I say "I don't know" a lot. But then there are a few things I do know. We all make mistakes. Too many expectations lead to too many disappointments. So I try not to have them. Try, being the key word. People bullshit a lot. I usually can catch it as soon as I sober up. On those rare occassions when I miss it, I usually catch it after we break up. Did I mention I crack myself up? I do. I laugh at my own jokes. It's annoying. I travel as often as I can. It keeps me wanting to come back home. Xanex makes me happy at bedtime...not before. I have friends that pick me up when I fall down...not literally...but sure, sometimes I do fall. Actually I fall a lot. I blame it on alcohol, but I think I may just have an inner ear defect. One day I will be a terrible mom.
