Radio Silence
Nothing’s ever easy, is it? After my rousingly upbeat post of Tuesday where I metaphorically sounded my barbaric yawp, I went on with my day. I went home for lunch and when I came back, I was feeling a bit… woosy. I stopped in the breakroom and talked to one of our paralegals about what [...]
Paving a Future
Things move fast around here: time, toddler feet, swirls of emotion. And I am running, always running, to stay ahead… of something. I have to be one step ahead of J, one step ahead of my boss, one step ahead of the collections agents. But I can’t seem to ever get even a half step [...]
Trials and Tribulations
Oh boy. April is shaping up to be one hell of a month. (What?! Lent is totally over. I can cuss if I want to!) First, this week I will be having my first Workers’ Comp hearing. It’s tomorrow morning so forgive me if I don’t have anything exciting to say until mid-day… and then [...]

I have a confession to make. One that terrifies me to say out loud but one that I’m going to share with you anyway. It’s been on my mind for a while now, pretty much since I was approximately 18 weeks pregnant with J. What is it? Glad you asked. I’m scared to have another [...]

And I had a good post all picked out but it needed a very important photo and, well, Blogger is having photo upload issues. I’ve really really enjoyed reading Lydia and Kate’s top [...]

Good News and Terror
So my physician script was fairly accurate it turns out. Well, except for the autograph part and the “perfect” comments. J is doing great. Like I thought, he’s been tentatively diagnosed with a B-12 deficiency. They tested both me and him (side note: it’s pretty pitiful when you cry more than your son when they [...]
The Fear Factor
When I was pregnant, all I thought about was what it would be like when J got here. The first six months or so I was scared and excited but mostly excited. I daydreamed about all these wonderful things I would do with him like decorate sugar cookies at Christmas and dye Easter Eggs at, [...]
