The last couple of days have been a crazy mash-up of emotions for me. (In a good way.)As of Monday morning, I start training for my new position as a web operative at a company geared towards creating internet and social media marketing for small businesses. If you...
Holy crap, 2011. What a year. I won't say it was a bad year, but it was the year that I learned the most about myself, and ultimately helped shape me more than any other. Which brings me to my first "thing":1.) This time last year, I wrote about how I'd decided to...
Holy crap, Internet. It's been a hot second. The only reason I have time to write right now is because Grayson is taking a nap, but these days, that could mean I only have 30 minutes or so of quiet.He's been sick the past few days with croup, but I think he's finally...
I guess Five Things Friday is something that people who still blog participate in, so I figured I'd give it a shot.1.) I've been battling a wicked case of poison ivy for the last week and a half. At first I thought it was mosquito bites, but then when it spread to...
Last week, Grayson turned 10 months, and I realized that he's quickly growing from baby to toddler. When did this happen!? We finally have a groove going. He still takes two naps a day, is sleeping g r e a t at night, and for the most part, he smiles and laughs all...

Uncensored, totally stream-of-consciousness.For starters, being a SAHM is pretty lonely. This afternoon, I took a few more steps to try and fix that. I sent a message to a local Mommy group (I hate that phrase, by the way), in hopes that I "have what it takes" to join...
I'll admit in the past few weeks my OCD has tripled in regards to my graduate school application. I always have a tab in Firefox with the graduate requirements for the Master of Arts in Secondary English page up in case I forget all the things I need, which is next to...
Grayson's sleep schedule has been way off the past few days. I think 4 or 5 mornings in a row now he's woken up between 5:00 and 5:30am and fussed himself back to sleep, only with the help of me going in there and shushing him and popping his pacifier back in his...
