An Incredible Ordinary Life
It has (literally) been years since I've blogged. I don't really remember why I stopped ( Read more... ) -
a one year old
a couple months ago something crazy happened.
my favorite mini person turned ONE.
being a mom is the best thing i have ever done with my life.
and this last year? it was the shortest and longest year of my life all at once.
needless to say ... it was important to me that we celebrate the big birthday ( Read more... ) -

moving, apparently, is stressful
according to this website, moving is the 3rd most stressful thing in life. granted, #1 and #2 (death of a loved one and divorce) are much more intense (to say the least), but i was sort of shocked to see that moving really is that stressful.
the census bureau claims that, after turning 18, the average person moves 9.1 times in their lifetime. ( Read more... ) -
bucket listing
DH and i recently got the wonderful and stressful news that we will finally be going back to home state because i got a job at another federal agency! my mood about it as been fluctuating about every 15 minutes because i cannot wrap my head around the fact that, after NINE years away, we actually get to go home. i have a slight fear that i have ( Read more... ) -
staycationing for dads
we made it to our staycation destination, annapolis. let me just say that i sort of loathe the word "staycation." it seems pretentious, yet cheap. fun, but boring. something about it irks me the same way the word (and idea) of "gentrification" does. but i digress. because it was fun. and it was WAY more relaxing than any of our more long- ( Read more... ) -
baby's day
lots of happenings. most of them are still necessarily secret. so, much like the super-obnoxious people that say stuff like, "ohmigod! i have this great story that i can't tell you!", here we are. full of vague. but, lest i completely forget everything that has been going on...a nice little update is in store. i've come to the realization ( Read more... ) -
so yeah.
time to face the truth - i'm not going to be updating regularly. despite my best efforts, it's becoming less and less realistic.
so, i will blog occasionally. when the little one is sleeping, i don't have extra work in front of me, and DH is occupied watching a tv show i can't stand or (more likely) engrossed with sports. (quick tangent, but ( Read more... ) -
knowing yourself
i have been in a bit of a blogging funk lately.
probably because i generally get only 4 hours at a time of uninterrupted sleep (somehow my six-month-old didn't get the memo that, by now, he should be magically sleeping for 12 hours solid per night) and am over being on the computer by the time i get home from work. i can't quite decide whether ( Read more... ) -
the quiet before the quieter
i keep postponing updating the blog.
sort of like g's baby book, i end up getting so overwhelmed about everything i should do that i end up just not doing anything at all. i gave myself some anxiety the other day because i can't remember the exact day that g rolled over for the first time. what if, god forbid, i write the wrong date in his ( Read more... )
