I feel so bummed about everything right now.  It is Saturday and what did we do?  We stayed at home.  All day.  Karlo hardly slept last night and while that is not really anything new, when I am sitting here at home doing nothing, the exhaustion of not sleeping really gets to me.  It is as if I could get by on the collective 3 hours if I was out ( Read more... )

So we broke the news to hubby's family that we are leaving.  Rather, that I already have my plane ticket to fly in April.  They were shocked.  His sister went the selfish route.  It was torture ( Read more... )

So I dreamed last night of flying in a plane and it nearly crashing.  I mean, I was dreaming of being in a plane, having poor visibility or some other kind of problem with the engines, and feeling it freefalling from the sky and then somehow not feeling the impact.  That whole part of the dream was weird, like I just stopped dreaming at that point.

Well, I just cannot wait to get back to Texas.  It is ALL I can think about.  I worked really hard on getting all of Raph's green card stuff together this week and may I just say HOLY HELL.  That paperwork and all the questions I have doing it is sincerely a joke.  I am sure I have filled out something wrong, no matter how I have tried to wrap my ( Read more... )

Thanks Inauguration ceremony on CNN...I LOVE being real freaking homesick.
It did, however, motivate me to call my old workplace and see about getting copies of my W2s for Raph's immigration paperwork.  The more I think about staying in Germany, the more I am not sure I can NOT be in America.  It is home to me.  

are going to get better.  I don't know, but I felt like my head was in a really good place today.  I managed to do yoga.  OMG it was so hard.  I have no idea how I did it everyday before.  My body is seriously in need of an overhaul.  How can things get so out of whack for a person?  I just posted in my baby's birth month community and wrote in ( Read more... )

Wow...I feel like I haven't posted in ages.  Well, I guess I haven't really.  I never have time anymore.  I have a 9 month old who DOESN'T sleep anymore.  I have no idea how he does it.  He goes to sleep fine at night, sleeps 3 hours, then wakes up every hour for 4 hours before another 3 hour stretch and that's it.  He takes a nap a day but it's ( Read more... )

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.
