Unwinding

Posted by on Friday, June 29, 2007 · 8 Comments 

NikkiZ was looking for paper to color on today. I couldn’t find any immediately, so I grabbed the next best thing. The lab paperwork my OB gave me to take in for some pregnancy bloodwork. I saw it and thought, “Well. Certainly don’t need THAT now.” So I gave it to her to color on. And it feld oddly cathartic.

So – I’m sitting back and having my favorite beer (since SxSW) – Shiner Bock. NikkiZ is asleep and I’m watching Take Home Chef, which happens to be my new favorite show. (Dude. Curtis is SO hott.) I’m waiting for my husband and Stace to come over so we can go hear my favorite bluegrass band: Rollin’ in the Hay. It’s going to be a fitting end to a really shitty week. I’ve received several words of wisdom and sympathy this week, but I believe the best was from my husband. He said, “I love you, babe. No matter what.”

And that’s that. We move on. I’ve cried plenty. I’ve drank plenty. I’ve hugged plenty. After tonight? I’ll have danced plenty – because even after the loss, I have plenty to celebrate. Beautiful kids. Beautiful friends. And the best thing of all: a beautiful hubby who holds my hand when I cramp and rubs my head when I cry.

And hopefully this weekend, HE’LL GIVE ME MY DAMN KITCHEN BACK.

    OK, I’ve nearly cried a couple of times, reading about all you’re going through, but I swear, this post did it.

    “And the best thing of all: a beautiful hubby who holds my hand when I cramp and rubs my head when I cry.”

    I love to cry about beautiful things. You’re right, you have so much. I’m glad you’re hanging on to it.

    Okay. So, I didn’t actually mean to type “wit Shiner” but it was kind of funny that way.

    Of course I don’t know you (or you me). But think of me as a friend among the internets who is sorry for your loss and wishing you and your awesome family the best.

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
