I spent most of my adult life holding firm to my own made up personal belief on how many kids was the “perfect” number. It was a solid foundation too, and sounds good on paper. Four. I wanted four kids. FOUR, people. Clearly I was drinking too much crazy water back then. My aforementioned stupid [...]

They say you “just know” when you have your “last” baby that it is in fact your last baby, that you just know you are done having children. I’m 75% sure I feel that. I love my babies. LOVE. THEM. More than my own life or anyone else’s. I also know I struggle with myself [...]

I turned thirty last Friday with very little fanfare. It was a total low key day spent just the four of us, and it was perfect. I’ve mentioned something about it here before and I’ll say it again, there is something magical about any birthday spent NOT having a cervical check. Just sayin’. But enough [...]

My name is Jennifer. I am 33 weeks pregnant and my hormones are getting the better of me. Most times when I feel myself feeling too “whatever” I don’t act on it, I just walk away and steam or cry in the bathroom and feel really [insert emotion here]. Later I can look back and [...]
Posted in Embrace the camera, Just me, My Little Lady on Jul 22nd, 2010
It’s embrace the camera Thursday! I used to take all kinds of crappy photos self portraits of Avelyn and I when she was a baby. These days the fight usually isn’t worth the battle. However, wouldn’t a whole album of pictures like these just be wonderful to show my grandkids one day? No matter, she [...]

Do you know why I never post anymore? Because I DON’T HAVE TIME. ANY. Do you know why I don’t have time? Because my full time 7-day a week day job involves a TWO YEAR OLD. And my full time 36-hours a week job exhausts what little energy I have left to give. Do you [...]
Tonight I got off work at 3 am. Naturally I couldn’t sleep when I got home (because it’s ONLY 3am) so I showered and tiptoed into the office expecting to go through photos on the computer. Instead I got sidetracked (hello ADD) and I stumbled on a small box of mementos tucked away in a [...]
To procreate or not to procreate. That is my question. I used to want 5 kids. FIVE. Back when I was crazy and newly married and had no idea of how much debt I would incur with two degrees and a husband with a dream. Back when I thought staying home with my kids would be the [...]

I have finally accepted the realization that I will never “catch up” on my blogging so I should stop pretending and just post something already. The fact is I AM BUSY*. I work between 36 and 50 hours a week at night, sleep a few hours during the day and still manage to be a [...]

Hold on to your hats folks, we may be up to two, count ‘em TWO, posts today. I KNOW. I sent Avelyn off to school and Kevin off to work so I could have the day to myself and get everything done. I don’t even feel bad about it either because I will get my [...]
