Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama.




Christmas 2010

Yes I'm aware it's April.  But I wanted to share the pictures from Christmas anyway. 

This was Christmas Eve:





And Christmas morning:









We went to my sisters house for Christmas Dinner and the two oldest boys found her wigs.  No she's not a hooker, a stripper or bald.  I have no idea why she has wigs. I don't want to know.


And here you go- the very first full face pictures of myself I have ever posted on the blog.  That is me on Christmas night. It's not the best picture because Big Daddy took it on his iphone. I'm sad when I see this picture because underneath that smile I was so messed up.  And I'm clutching that beer like it's my only lifeline.  Which maybe it was. I was suffering through withdrawals from stopping Celexa cold turkey.  That shit is no joke. I thought I was going to die, some days I wanted to.  It was that bad. You know how I realize how messed up I was? Not one highlight in that hair and no make up on. A sure sign I needed to be medicated. Seriously.


So there you go. That's me. With nothing to hide. 

7 People think I should be medicated:

Your family is beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing.

I went from 40 mg of Celexa down to 30 and wanted to jump off a bridge. (Bad that my apartment building is right next to one.) I went back up to 40 faster than my psychiatrist could say "withdrawal." I don't know how you went cold turkey.

Merry belated Christmas! It looks like the kids had a blast. You're cute and you look great! Much better than I did when my babies were that age. (My youngest is 4 and I still don't look that good.)

I remember the first time I saw a pic of you on HCTS and expected a snarky, evil looking Buffy, but of course you were this totally pretty and demure looking thing! Still are gorgeous, girl! :-) You inspire me with your honesty.
Um, and when in the heck did your kiddos grow up THIS MUCH!?!?????
