I’ve been thinking long and hard about this blog thing. It’s ironic that the writing seemed to stop almost immediately after I moved to my own domain and started paying money to run it. It’s like I could write one hundred annoying posts a day when it was free but by golly, now that there’s [...]

It’s 8:44pm. I could update Flickr which hasn’t been touched since summer. I could spend two hours pulling together a really great blog post I’ve been mulling over. I could make a list of all the stores I need to hit, and the supplies I need to buy to finish Avelyn’s Halloween costume. I could [...]

I have 147 unread items in my Google Reader. Don’t be surprised if I don’t comment on 146 of those. I want a new computer! Like really, really, a whole, whole lot want a new computer. Probably a Mac! And Photoshop! And a new lens for the camera! And someone to teach me all the [...]

I’ve been feeling lost, sluggish, out of it lately. I feel as if I’m in a holding pattern between where I was and where I want to be, but I don’t know exactly where I am right now. Life is going good, so maybe a little part of me is secretly waiting for the impending [...]

I have 16 hours of PALS over the next two days. That’s the acronym for Pediatric Advanced Life Support. Does it sound intimidating to you too? Advanced LIFE SUPPORT? As in knowing how to take care of a child in an emergency situation that is trying to die right in front of you? Because I [...]

Water falls from the faucet in that familiar everyday whooshing sound as I wash dishes and clean the sink. Music plays on the radio, a song I don’t particularly like and her voice sounds like nasally nails on a chalkboard. In the background is the sound of blocks and puzzle pieces smashing together. A tiny [...]

These days I feel like I live on a racetrack, running round and round trying to keep up with the cars flying by me. The biggest reason I haven’t been blogging isn’t because I have nothing to say. All day long I write in my head amazingly humorous, incredibly witty (shut up, I’m freakin’ hysterical) [...]

This is my 322nd post. That doesn’t mean much but I thought I’d tell you since it’s news to me. If you look at the number of posts from last year you would think this number should be much higher. I can’t pinpoint exactly what’s been going on that has made my posting wane. I [...]

Last night I had a mini meltdown. I lay in bed for what seemed like hours thinking about all the things I was doing wrong, all the things I wanted to do but wasn’t, everything I was screwing up. Avelyn has to go back to daycare tomorrow after staying home sick Thursday and Friday. She [...]

My dad’s been gone for 15 years now. It feels strange. I was so busy caring for Avelyn yesterday that I didn’t realize what day it was until the afternoon. It was easier this year than any year previous, I think because I have a family of my own, a reason to get up every [...]
