The climb of a lifetime. I’m on a serious DIY kick lately. The odds are that the mountain of projects I’ve lined up for myself will not get finished in a timely manner, if at all, but I make the lists and buy the materials and start the projects anyway. 🙂. To my family members who put up with this nonsense for the last twenty-something years – Thank you. 8230; I give you, the list:. And last, but actually the one I want to do the most! These things are fun, and fun is good. 🙂. Posted in For Fun's Sake.

The Struggle is Real. | Tara Mountain

The climb of a lifetime. Self Encouragement →. The Struggle is Real. Today I woke up in the crappiest mood. I yelled at John, rushed the kids through their morning routine, and cheated myself out of (what I’m sure would have been) delicious peanut butter toast. After I dropped the girls off at daycare, I calmed down and enjoyed the 20 minute commute to work. I thought about sending John an “I’m SO sorry” text, but didn’t. He knows I’m sorry, right? How could you be mad at that face? This too shall pass.

The climb of a lifetime. A Change of Heart… →. After a lot of tearful good-byes, 4 days, and 3 stops in various states to visit friends along the way…. I’VE ARRIVED IN DENVER! I have officially been here 4 days. The distance between me and my family has definitely set in, and I have already had my fair share of tears full of longing to see them again. I miss the girls the most. When I called last night for bedtime (dinner time here) E, 6 years old, was quick to laugh at me when she heard me crying. Creat...

A Change of Heart… | Tara Mountain

The climb of a lifetime. A Change of Heart…. I had a feeling I shouldn’t stay. My instincts tend to be right, and I don’t always follow them,. But I did this time. It has been an amazing journey so far. The drive back was long, and full of great adventures. I visited with my E’s father, spent a weekend with my oldest and dearest friend, and reconnected with O’s father after returning home. Following my instincts has never felt so good. Since returning to the East Coast I have…. What’s gonna work? Your da...

A year already?! | Tara Mountain

The climb of a lifetime. Settling In →. I can’t say I’m surprised it’s been a year since I’ve last written. Life can sometimes get in the way of us. We sometimes get in the way of ourselves. With all the adventure we have coming up, I’ve made a goal to blog more often. In the past year SO much has happend! We moved once, Elizabeth started and finished Kindergarten, birthdays came and went, Olivia’s OCD tendencies increased and families came together and crumbled simultaneously. I am a single mom again.

Self Encouragement | Tara Mountain
https://taramountain.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/self-encouragement
The climb of a lifetime. The Struggle is Real. Lately, I could use I little encouragement, reassurance, and faith. I want things. BIG things. And I want them N.O.W. Now! There are big dreams (or fantasies as my boyfriend calls them), and small dreams, and I know that everything worth wanting takes time and hard work…. but some days (*eh hem* todayyyy) I just want to lay on the floor and kick my feet and flail my arms like a 2 year old and scream “I work too hard, I am SOOOOOO tired! I need a break!

November 26, 2014 · 3:45 am. An “Extra-Ordinary” Weekend. Weekend just gone I took the epically long drive to Perth, to see my sister Sophie perform in a musical “Extra Ordinary People”. Based around a group of concerned citizens who protest the effects of Superheros on their city. It was the first time in my 8 years of having a license that I drove by myself. For someone who has an irrational fear of driving in Capital Cities, I found I was rather composed. Tick that off the bucket list. October 6, 2014...
