sick and tired... literally.  desire nothing less than deep and lengthy hibernation.  an alcoholic drink would be nice too.  and a cigarette.  oh screw it, just give me drugs!

 I really dislike Facebook!  Not sure why, just do!

 Snow Flower and the Secret Fan - current book I am trying to read. 
I still haven't finished the other one but the Book Club's meeting is coming up and I need to get moving.

Still tired, still at my wits on how to be the best mom but I am trying.  How can I ensure that Sarah is bilingual?  My parents and I speak to her in Russian exclusively, we ( Read more... )

So managed to venture off today to a play date and discovered a gorgeous, completely new to me area!  Each one of those houses is completely unique, built around 1920's and trees go up forever.  Somewhere off i-30 and Oacliff.  Despite living here for ages, there is still so much that I do not know about Dallas its embarrassing.  I have been ( Read more... )

Would I be repeating myself if I said once again that I am tired?  Going on 12th week with average of 4.5 hours - who'd knew I would keep my sanity this long!  On the up note - I am reading (or trying to) something not baby related and enjoying it - The Elegance of the Hedgehog. Thanks Laura for suggesting this book.

I hate interpersonal conflict, especially when I get stuck in the middle taking all the punches or even worse, forced to take sides.  There are two women at work who have the greatest dislike for each other but by nature of their work, have to work together.  So as one bashes another’s work, the other complains that the first did not do any ( Read more... )

There is an 18 inch human being inside of me and she is lovely, smart, beautiful, energetic and very much loved.... but I am soooo tired.  I mean imagine the size for a second!  Sarah, stay there for the next 4.5 to 6 weeks but oh please, no longer than that!  

I am having difficult time forming conclusions about Russian-Georgian conflict in the cacus region.  Despite my questionable 'Russianess' (living on the continent for more than half of my life), being an American citizen and coming from a no longer existing country, this conflict still manages to hit close to home... as did Kosovo.  I am reading ( Read more... )
