My name is Aimee. I’ve been married to Josh for 7 years. We have two boys (toddler + baby life). I have a poor afterthought mutt that gets to lick the empty peanut butter jar and go on a walk twice a month. Postpartum is hell on wheels for me, and I already have a 824 color palette of emotions at baseline. I’m trying to learn to love that part of myself, or at least befriend it. Take it to coffee. And then encourage it to drink less coffee, maybe try some herbal tea. Some days I laugh a lot, and some days it seems I forget how to. It’s a bumpy ride, but I’m hoping I can learn to spend a little bit more time airborne and less time white knuckling the handlebars. Because let’s be honest – holding on tighter doesn’t make you safer. Woof, gotta go chew on that for awhile.
tired but happy mom
