We have learned a few things in the last month, some people never learn, and people are not always who they make themselves out to be. I am leaving it at that. This person knows who they are and I do not like to focus on negativity in mine or my daughter's life.

MARLI TURNED 1!
Definitely a crazy day and an awesome party at that!
~~~
We did quite a bit of stuff in this last month, Marli slept in her crib for the first time, I got called a terrible parent for the first time, and I have realized time really needs to slooowwwww dowwwwnnnn.
Today, at like 3 in the morning I woke up, it is usual in case she needs to nurse etc. but I just laid there and watched her. Weird right? If you are a parent you can relate to this in every way, the squished lips, the crazy hair, and that deep breath they take when they finally pass out for the night (or at least a few hours). It is fascinating, I created her, care for her, nourish her, and am her personal punching bag, it is amazing. At that moment she did not look like my little baby, she looks like a little girl. Growing everyday, she now runs, and she is too smart for her own good.
It is times like these I am happy to not have to share those little moments with anyone else. At the same time, everything is not perfect and enjoyable everyday. I have to take care of the sick child who just wants to play but she has snot running down her nose, some days her teeth hurt so bad she takes it out on everyone else. I LOVE those moments that I get everyday, the smiles, giggles, and even the times she likes to bite me cause she thinks it is funny. I earned these great moments and it makes life just that more enjoyable.

Of course, on that dumb "On This Day" thing on Facebook I get shown little newborn Marli! Fills my heart with joy everytime I see it!
I mean she was in no means "little" she was almost 9 pounds but compared to now she is tiny.

If anyone wants an update on my love life, (I know not REALLY unless you are one of my stalkers, then enjoy) it is a failure. Like usual, like when you slip on ice and you just fall flat on your face, well that explains my relationship status.
I know, I know, I am totally NOT funny, but I can still try hard. Just as hard as I try to get a date. Eh I joke, but I mean I am not desperate, I am over the norms of society and the dating scene.

I went on many trips to Target on my month away, shocker. Surprise, more Starbucks. My caffeine addiction has not gotten any better at all. Honestly, my life is pretty ordinarily boring, nothing exciting. So enjoy the gif of a pug with dentures.
Make your life more positive one day at a time guys, every moment, every text, every post on social media, and everyday, just find one thing that is positive. 💗
