I’m taking myself off of antidepressants. I’ve started weaning myself off the Z0loft already. I was taking 150mg and dropped it down to 100mg. I’ve taken 100mg for two weeks and now I’m going to drop it to 50mg for the next two weeks and then quit. I’m not sure what to do about the [...]

Thank you all for your sympathetic and empathetic comments on my last post. I wrote it hoping for catharsis so I could let it go (it worked, fyi) and ended up feeling so much closer to my tribe of readers. That got me thinking about how great this whole blogging gig is. I know so [...]

Those of you who follow me on twitter may have noticed that I took both kids down south to see the in-laws. I took them on what is supposed to be a 4.5 hour road trip BY MYSELF. I’m going to pause here and let the horror of that sentence sink in. Have you imagined [...]

So, how ’bout a post that’s not about my kids? GAH, could I be anymore boring? (Said in my best Chandler Bing voice, of course.) Let’s talk about Teh Crazy. I talked to my OB on Monday about how ANGRY I’ve been lately and agreed that something was wonky since I’m on the Z0loft. I’m [...]

So, it seems that once again I’m not coping well with the postpartum crap. I really thought it was going to be ok this time, but it’s not. My temper is always right there under the surface. Any tiny infraction on Maddie’s part and I’m all over her. I’m snappy and pissy and generally filled [...]

Ugh. Enough with the pregnancy talk already! Am I right? The problem with being on bed rest is that I don’t really have anything else to talk about. Let’s just sum it up with this: last trimester = WAH! The End. I was hesitant to post about my Manifesto because, well, honestly because it would [...]

All right, I know I said I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions, but everyone else is doing it and suddenly I’m all “HEY! I should make some resolutions, too!” I’m nothing if not a follower. Peer pressure. It’s what’s for dinner. But, I digress. Let’s get to the resolutions, shall we? 1. I resolve to [...]

It’s confession time here at All Dressed Up: I’m a hypocrite. There. I said it. Er, typed it. It’s out in the open and now we can move forward, right? Oh, you want to know exactly what I’m hypocritical about? It’s gender stereotypes. More specifically, gender stereotypes and how I see my daughter. Maddie isn’t [...]
