Is that you, me?
I had a brief glimpse this morning of what life was like pre-baby. I didn't realize how much it had changed, and not just in the daily routine sort of way that I've spoken of before, but my actual outlook and attitude. How I sit, what I think about/google/dream about/talk about in my every day life. David and I were carpooling, Nui was asleep in ( Read more... ) -
The Perils of Parenting
Today was one of the most stressful days in my parenting life. It made me appreciate that I have a husband to take the little angel off my hands from time to time to give me some much needed R&R ( Read more... ) -
Whose Life is this Anyway?
I had to reset my password, I uploaded new pictures. I don't only look different now (well, maybe not so much), but my life is 100% a different one. I realize that I need to revive the old livejournal, because handwriting is difficult with one hand, especially when that one arm is usually asleep under my little one's head ( Read more... ) -
Long Time Short Post
It's been a long time since I posted at all, and this will not be a very long post. I am at work and still have things to do ( Read more... ) -
Fantastic Fours
I have made a recent revelation - I am a fan of groups of four. My first 'club' was a group of four, called the Fantastic Four, when I was 9. If I could draw the symbol here for you I would, but suffice it to say, we had a symbol and a theme song and club rules and everything. There were four of us, and we did everything together. As I grew up I ( Read more... ) -
The Winter Wrap-Up
At times it feels as though winter has lasted forever, at times I can barely remember the green grass and flowers, the warmth on my skin. I know those sweltering days exists, that they will be upon us in due time, but when the frosty days chill me to the bone, as it often has these past few months, comfort seems a foreign concept ( Read more... ) -
As Autumn Leaves
When I last wrote the last days of summer were upon us. I had one last (and first) beach trip of the season. Though we've gone once since then, it was fall by then, and cold, and we didn't even visit the shore. I've switched out my wardrobe and pulled out the space heaters. We've built a few fires now, and I've suffered one sore throat from ( Read more... ) -
Life is a Beach
We went to the beach this past weekend with Stephen and LK - we had a great time! I'm afraid this entry will be fraught with cliches, but I can't help it - it's the beach, in the summer, and it was all the cliches you would expect of a teenage road trip to the beach - posing with statues, drinking on the beach, chicken fights in the pool. I know ( Read more... ) -
Last Lasting Days of Summer
The summer is nearing its end, but you wouldn't know if by looking out the window, or stepping outside. August is traditionally the hottest month around here, the 'dog days of August', and this month is no exception. I've been thankful for a few low-90s days here lately, as we've been in the upper 90s with humidity to match for a few weeks now. ( Read more... ) -
Hard Candy July
Well, it's been a difficult month, we're down to about $19 in the account and holding strong, David gets paid tonight. The financial struggle has been the main theme of the month. We went without silk for the last week, and without bread for two weeks before I got paid. We're not starving or anything, we're making it through, but we've had to cut ( Read more... )
