snow
It's a beautiful winter wonderland here, with flakes swirling all around and the snow piling. This is, by far, my favorite weather. Even as a girl when it meant slogging through snow for chores and breaking ice in water tanks, I relished the dark winter storm clouds billowing forcefully into the sky. Of course today, I'm worried, though. My husband ( Read more... ) -
Old Country Music
I'm alone watching these 80s and 90s country music videos. This is partially due to nostalgia, but these songs are so emotional. I never wanted to be one of those people eternally hurt by my parents divorce...I never understood those kids I judged. And I never thought my parents would split when I was an adult. Yet, even though my dad tried to ( Read more... ) -
mommy blues- not baby related
I am blown away by the people who feel that they should share their belief that I should be home with my kids full time. It is suggested tongue in cheek, as well as out rightly, that I am hurting them by working. I can't win....at my last job I was thought irresponsible for having kids at all. Now the people I am coming into contact with think I'm ( Read more... ) -
Mary Rose
My grandmother is not doing well. Her health is failing and she has stopped excersizing, leaving the house and eating/drinking enough. She is often airy, her thoughts floating, and she is rarely the sharp, loving, beautiful and witty woman I have looked up to all of my life or my friend, who I sat with for hours talking with at the kitchen table ( Read more... ) -
Today
Today is ok. It is hot. Where's the autumn?? At least the leaves are turning. But I yearn for cooler weather and wind and clouds and storms and dark days and barren trees. Not quite the desolate winter (<3), but a season tearing itself away from careless summer months, into maturity and seriousness. I need that healing time this year more than ever ( Read more... ) -
hello old friend!! and a fuck you
Although I don't have a lot of time, I need to be able to express myself in a way that is safe, unfiltered and, well, just is!!! I pulled back from LJ due to limited time, as already mentioned,but also because it felt like i was only turning it to it when i wanted to complain. But, I'm beginning to think that i need it, even must for that!! However ( Read more... ) -

my baby loves chilies
Creature must be more like me than C, because he/she loves every form of spicy.
And juice. I want 100% juice all of the time. Especially cherry. And blueberry.
Geez...not born yet and we already can't afford his/her tastes!
...maybe more like C after all

CAR
We got a car!! Yay! The 2 hour bus ride made me so nauseous that I was sick all day. Then the 2 hour ride home made me cranky for my hubby, who is only seeing me a couple of hours a day, due to the incredible amounts of sleep pregnant ladies apparently need. *yawn*
But now, there' s a car.

writing
I have not kept up my writing, in fact I feel that I neglect livejournal so frequently that it has become a medium of the past. And I need to not neglect it, if only to continue writing. Now that I am back in an academic setting, I have noticed that 10 years in business offices has resulted in much wear and tear on my intellect. I could have never ( Read more... )
