Taking A Break

So yeah... been a long time since I have written a blog.

I took a break.

A rather long one.

However, I will probably be over at Just Another 15 Minutes more often than not over the next few months.  Or maybe I will surprise everyone and start blogging on this one again!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

I hope your year will add blessings that have rivaled ours for the past year!

More Life Changes!

I think this is becoming the story of our life!

In the meantime, due to circumstances totally out of my control, I am back to being a stay-at-home mom again.  That part of me is dancing on the inside!  I was just telling Jonathan and my sister the other day that I was really looking forward to the day when I would get to stay home with just Emily, Ethan, and run the nanny agency.  I just was expecting it to start in May or June, not today!

This change, however, I am okay with.  A bit stressed about losing an income, as it is our reliable income that we use to pay the bills every month, but trusting in God to maintain and grow our irregular income from the business.  Plus, I am very excited to do some things for the business that I've not been able to due because I've not had the time.  Almost wishing it wasn't Christmas in two weeks, but it will give me time to plan and launch a new marketing campaign.

Say a prayer for us as we transition into our new roles, especially for Emily, as she will truly miss the three boys that have become her brothers over the past several months.

Waiting, waiting, waiting

I'm so ready for bed.

The day is done.

I'm tired.

A bit frustrated, though... just looked at my www.fitday.com food log for today and I'm short about 400 calories for today.  Grrr...

I could lay down right now and sleep for ages. But Ethan is not yet ready! It is too early for him to eat. Well, I guess I could feed him now, but I'd be up twice tonight and not just once.  I'd rather stay up another hour.

So in the meantime, I've finished creating the new writing blog.  I may still be tweaking the template a bit, but you can visit Just Another 15 Minutes at http://another15minutes.blogspot.com.  Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Changes Coming Soon!

In the very nearby future, I will be launching a new and adjacent blog to this site, focusing more on actually writing and trying to get away from the "140-characters-sums-up-my-life" slump I am in because of Facebook. 

My hope is that I will start blogging (and writing) more regularly again so stay tuned!

I Love Giving Birth!

No, I did not like the six hours of labor.  Or the delivery.  But I love this little guy:

I also like that when you only gain 15 pounds when pregnant and have a nine pound, eleven ounce baby, you go from this:

To this in less than two weeks:

I love how good I feel after having a baby!  It was the same way with Emily; right back up and on my feet.  It is like a total system reboot after a yucky last 4-6 weeks of the pregnancy.  :-)
