My name is Ivy and I have a problem....

So since I never planned on having kids I definitely never planned on being "THAT mom". You know the one..   Always showing pictures of her baby, always talking about her baby, filling her Facebook newsfeed with her baby, bringing him up in every conversation whether it's on topic or not (and its usually not). Well today I realized I've become her. How absolutely horrifying for my friends who knew me as single Ivy. My newsfeed used to consist of glamorous outfits, fabulous friends, and fun nights out. NOW, it's pictures of my baby and he looks like a crazy goblin.

When did I become this person and how did it happen so fast!? Seriously, while I was pregnant I never really had that special bond with my tummy, I hated being pregnant. No really, HATED IT. Even the day I got induced the doctor asked me if I wanted to hold the baby once he was out, or if I wanted to wait until he was cleaned off. Guh-ross, is that really a question? Of course I wanted him cleaned off!!!

Back to what I was talking about, I just want to apologize to all of my friends for becoming "that mom" and admit that I have a problem..... My name is Ivy and I'm addicted to posting baby pictures on Facebook..... As a matter of fact, if I had any computer skills I would start posting them on this blog! But I don't, so here's your escape from them for a bit.

Happy Valentine's Day errbody!

Sometimes I wake up and I still can't believe this is my life....

Once upon a time there was a 19 year old girl who wanted out of her parents house so bad that she convinced herself she was in love. So, she moved to Missouri into a house you've probably seen on an episode of Hoarders (barf), with a guy who had no job and had his car repossessed within a week of her being there. Awesome right? So much more where that story came from.

Skip to years later when my job got raided by the secret service and Securities exchange commission. Or how I drove by my boyfriend's house after getting ignored, and had had  a few glasses of wine only to discover his house taped off by the police.

 You know how people say their life is like a lifetime movie? That's me. And you would think I'm trashy, or an idiot, but I'm not. Well educated, suburban gal who trusts a little bit too easily. Somehow I still ended up married and recently had a baby. Sometimes I wake up and I feel like I got punked, this can't be my ending. It's not.

So I'm creating this blog to share the past, the present, and the future. Somehow I'm going to try to segue stories in to each other but we'll see how that works out. This is really to at least make people laugh, because some of my stories are so embarrassing that I can't believe I'm going to share them.

Peace out for now!
