Another Trigger.
May 29, 2014
A couple of weeks ago, I broke my son. During a very weak moment, I shattered his little heart in a way I thought would be irreparable. Though at the time, I didn’t think he’d really take notice what I was saying. He did understand, and took responsibility for all of my misery. We spent…

Struggling, and a Possible Trigger.
November 1, 2013
I’m struggling today. Actually, I did most of the struggling yesterday and I think I know why. I woke up feeling bone-tired after a particularly heavy workout the day before. There’s no caffeine in the world that can pull me out of that. I started to think about shopping, trying to figure out if I…

Tuesday Update: Shrinking and Growing.
March 26, 2013
HELP! I’m shrinking, and the urge to shop is in full force! It hasn’t felt like this in a few months, so I thought maybe the urge was gone for good. It’s coming back due to my new (old) size, liking my body now, and the nice weather. It’s so much easier to go shopping…

September 4, 2012
I keep trying on the items I bought for my Fall wardrobe, and finally decided I need to return most of them. This decision opened the floodgates: I could now justify a big shopping trip. Ah, Nordstrom. How I love that store! It was such a nice shopping trip, too. I was alone and had…

School Shopping.
August 17, 2012
I’m very anxious about school. My oldest starts first grade in a couple of weeks, and I need to make changes to his IEP. I also need to ask for some accommodations for his sensory processing issues. This stresses me out and I’m avoiding it as long as possible. And distracting myself by online window shopping….

Saved By the Bell.
July 27, 2012
After dropping my older son off at VBS for the morning, I took my younger son to the mall. There’s a nice play area there that is very quiet (and freshly cleaned!) for that hour before the mall opens. After about 20 minutes there, it became very not quiet. Loud, in fact. Painfully so. The…
