Right now I am a just a ball of stress.  I promise a real update soon.  I wish time would SLOW DOWN!!!

I am up before the sun.  I would not have minded sleeping in later.  I did sleep well, but by 5:55am I was awake.  I didn't want to be.  I checked on my son, who was half way sleeping on his bed.  He kept doing that last night.  I tucked him back in and then tried to go back to bed again.  I remember a professor who keeps posting and giving ( Read more... )

I am 37 years old and had come to a point where I was content but not whole. Three years ago I gave birth to a little boy and was single and very alone.
