This is one of those posts where I have no identity of my own and live vicariously through my child and all. Except, look how big she is! And how twisty her pants are--dressing herself after using the potty is tough ( Read more... )

Sarah on Labor Day weekend, wearing an outfit she picked out:

Today when I dropped Sarah off she had a huge meltdown and didn't want me to go and cried and cried and clung to me and I felt like the biggest asshole in the world because I had to go to work and I left her sitting on the floor crying ( Read more... )

Sarah turns three today. I'm still amazed that I have her, and watching her grow and learn is fantastic. She is a gift, every day.

The mailroom at my work is really slow.

My birthday was April 12. I got a birthday card today. It was from my Aunt Nettie, who died on May 14. She wrote a nice note about how it might be late, and she was sorry, but she was thinking of me.

I try to avoid crying at work at all costs, but I couldn't help it.

You know what I really want to do? I want to take a day off and stay home and watch TV all day long. I have an entire season of three different shows on the TiVo, and I could just stay home and knock one out.

Wouldn't that be awesome?

I really, really don't want to go to work today. But I want to go to the memorial service, so that means time off next week, so I really, really should. But I mostly want to stay home and cry.

My aunt, Annette Molloy, passed away about an hour ago.

One of my earliest memories is playing in the backyard of my aunt and uncle's house, and my mom and her were both pregnant and I kept running over and stealing sips of their iced tea.

Goodbye, Nettie. Rest well. I love you and I will miss you very much.

My folks are arriving tonight to visit for a week or so. Sarah is so excited she can't stand it, and we'd planned to meet them at the airport at 7 pm when their flight got in, get some dinner and then head home. Now, because of thunderstorms in ATL, they won't be in until 10:00. Sarah still desperately wants to go meet them at the airport ( Read more... )
