Note To Self On Having Another Baby

June 4, 2014 · 11 Comments

This was a post I wrote a few months after our second daughter was born - AKA The Awful.  Around The Awful I was spending the majority of my day fantasizing about running away via hitch hiking cross country in a wig and fake mustache (though I was working on a nice real one that probably would have done just fine) so I could make a new life for myself under a nice quiet ...

The other side

December 12, 2011 · 5 Comments

Recently I read a really relevant-to-my-life-right-now post on a blog I follow about a Mom who has reached the "other side" of motherhood.You know - The Other Side?  The side where you go to bed with the knowledge that you won't have to wake up for 8 whole hours. The side where you tell your kids to go take a bath and you'll be up to read them a story after you finish your ...
