Changing the world, one diaper at a time. F*ck the Swear Jar. December 14, 2015. April 21, 2016. Nursing & Cursing. 5 Reasons I don’t Give an Eff about Swearing in front of my Kids. Artwork by Wylder Levkoff, Age 8. Three years ago, my husband made a unilateral promise to our kids: each time he or I swore, we would put a quarter in the Swear Jar. If and when the jar filled up, the money would be theirs. First of all: WTF. And second of all: are you f*cking kidding me. Soft benefits, baby! Grade math (jus...

She holds her hands up for demonstration and proclaims, “FINGERNAILS! This is how I felt last week, but instead of an unborn baby it was…you know…me. I have FINGERNAILS. That was fifteen years ago, y’all. I looked down at my hands the other day, and I suddenly noticed, “WHOA! I’m able to do it on my own! I AM GOING TO...

Behind These Hazel Eyes. Bipolar Life With Hazel Hillboro. November 4, 2016. November 4, 2016. Right now I’m watching a YouTube video of a screechy person opening troll doll toys. I’m sitting with my three-year-old niece, and this is one of her favorite “shows.” It’s not a show. It’s a person opening toys. The voice is…how can I describe this? 8220;THE NEW TROLL DOLLS ARE OUT! WHICH ONE WILL WE OPEN? LET’S LOOK AT THIS FASHION GIRL, WHO HUGS ALL OF HER FRIENDS EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR! I’m supposed t...

Behind These Hazel Eyes. Bipolar Life With Hazel Hillboro. It’s 2016 – Why Am I Being Stuffed in a Pringle Can? December 30, 2016. Last week I had an MRI to check on my brain tumor. I’ve recently named my tumor “Bob the Brian Blob,” because we’ve been together for a few years now and I feel like the little dude deserves a name. Plus, it’s easier to channel my anger when I’m mad about it. Debilitating headache? 8220;Damn it, Bob! 8221; More pills to take? HATE HATE HATE HATE.” For real. Look at this thing:.

Behind These Hazel Eyes. Bipolar Life With Hazel Hillboro. Donald Trump and Library Porn. November 18, 2016. I have never been so nervous to go to the library as I was this week. I’ll tell you what I was there to get, but you have to keep it a secret. Promise? Everyone knows you can’t break a pinky swear – you get seven years of bad luck or you grow warts or something. It’s unpleasant. Don’t mess with pinky swears). Okay *deep breath* I was there to get…. Books by Donald Trump. The Audacity of Hope.

Behind These Hazel Eyes. Bipolar Life With Hazel Hillboro. Waiting. Get Me Out of Here. June 30, 2016. June 30, 2016. I’m sitting in my endocrinologist’s office, and I just lied to the nurse. I don’t know exactly why, but I know that doctors’ offices make me all jumpy and nervous. Then I do stupid things like lie, when that really defeats the purpose of going to the doctor in the first place. This room is so….white. Why do medical offices have to be aggressively white? I’m sure that’s it....I mean, RIGHT?

Behind These Hazel Eyes. Bipolar Life With Hazel Hillboro. Andy’s Sick, but We’re Buying Dinosaurs. March 1, 2017. March 1, 2017. My husband Andy is sick. He came home from work today and said he was feeling tired, so I told him to take a nap. He said he didn’t need one. He looked pale and exhausted, so finally he said he would “go lie down in bed for a little while.” (Ahem…that’s a nap). I have no idea. He clearly wasn’t paying attention to what I was saying. He said yes, that he totally agreed. Then I ...

Behind These Hazel Eyes. Bipolar Life With Hazel Hillboro. It’s Christmas Eve – You Still Have Time To Go Get a Dog. December 24, 2016. December 24, 2016. Everyone should have a dog. When you’re sitting and crying, your dog can jump up, put paws on both of your shoulders, and give you a look that says, “Suck it up. It’s Christmas Eve. You shouldn’t cry on Christmas Eve.” If you’re wondering, a beagle is the perfect sized dog for such comforting. 8221; and I thought, “Whoa! And I guess that’s why I ...
