My sisters say I don’t blog enough

And they’re totally right.  I told them to come clean my house so I would have time to actually do something else outside of work, but all I got were wrinkled noses and shaking heads on that one.  But, I’m trying to write a blog anyway.  YOU’RE WELCOME, SISTERS.

The odd thing about not . . . → Read More: My sisters say I don’t blog enough

Life goes on

So the last few weeks have been…overwhelming.  In case you are wondering, trying to find a nanny sucks.  Like I want to spend my evenings conducting interviews, you know?  We decided on hiring a girl, offered her a job on a Sunday, told her she’d start on Wednesday, and thought everything was just dandy. . . . → Read More: Life goes on

Ahem…

Uh…this thing on?

*Tap tap*

I believe this is what is called a weblog, yes?  You…type?  And it goes out to the…Internets?  It’s been so long I’m a bit rusty on how all this works.

Dear bloggy friends, I have not forgotten you.  I’ve just been blasted busy.  Yes, really.  Busy and exhausted.  I . . . → Read More: Ahem…

Fathers

A happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there yesterday!

While I realize I’ve been light in the posting department lately, I wanted to give a little shout out to dads.

Dads are awesome aren’t they?

I mean, don’t get me wrong, moms are awesome too.  But I’m a firm believer that having . . . → Read More: Fathers

At last…

So much news lately!  So much to write!  And yet, I seem to be so easily distracted by eating peanut butter and honey sandwiches (have you tried adding bananas? Delicious!) and watching episodes of Hoarders, which is straight-up ridiculous. But really?  I’m spent. I’m forcing myself to relax a little this weekend, which has . . . → Read More: At last…

Finding my wings

This last year has been a difficult one for me.  Not in an epic-catastrophic-event kind of way, as I know others around the world have experienced, which I am grateful for.  Instead, the best way I can describe it is that I’ve been walking my way through a gray mist, with some stumbling blocks . . . → Read More: Finding my wings

Writer’s block

I haz it.

The end.

Ok, fine, that is a lame excuse for a post.  But yes, I do have writer’s block, in a way.  In reality, I write stuff all the time… in my head.  But lately it never seems to flow out through my fingertips and onto my keyboard.  Why is that?  . . . → Read More: Writer’s block

I suppose some would call it a privilege…

The other day I got that dreaded letter in the mail.

I’ve been summoned for jury duty.

I realize a fair trial where you are judged by your peers is one of the privileges of living in a free and democratic society, and that it is my civic duty to participate, but who has . . . → Read More: I suppose some would call it a privilege…

Bye bye binkie, part 2

Well, it has officially been one week since the binkies hit the trash.  Can I just take a moment to brag about what a great kid I have?  I really feel like we’ve hit the 2 year old jackpot.  Like all toddlers, my little girl can be emotional, irrational, stubborn, strong-willed, whiny, clingy, and . . . → Read More: Bye bye binkie, part 2

Thoughts for a Tuesday

This has been a banner week for me so far.  Not only did I blow dry my hair and straighten it yesterday, but I did today as well!  Yes friends, that is TWO days in a row!  Actually, scratch that, I did on Saturday and Sunday too, so that is FOUR days in a . . . → Read More: Thoughts for a Tuesday
