I’m home today because last night, after a lovely evening at my in-laws’ house for dinner where I got to read uninterrupted for something like thirty minutes and Meredith played outside, and after she fell asleep all cuddled up to me in bed, Meredith lost her dinner four times all over the sheets, herself, and me. Then this morning after a 3:30 a.m. nursing session she repeated the experience. Something new for the baby book! Meredith’s first vomit! *** In the blog revamp arena, I’ve been going back through my archives from the beginning to edit and update old posts. A few thoughts: >I like me from 5 years ago. And I miss my friends & roommates from that time…

Everyone does it once in awhile, right? So here are my thoughts on the state of the blog currently: I don’t intend to be a professional blogger because I already have a career that I’m passionate about.

This morning I let Meredith run wild in the house because I just could not deal. Usually I clean up as she goes but today I just left it all and decided to shoot a video of the mess she made. It actually wasn’t as bad as expected.

This is August 12 – 25. Still doing two weeks at a time. This was when Meredith really took off walking. I also started my project of cataloging and organizing all of my books. We started a bedtime routine, David’s car got totaled & his parents gave us theirs, and M. turned 13 months. On the right side is just some odds & ends. I included a couple receipts from the night we went shopping as a family and a fortune I got in a fortune cookie. “Happy news is on its way to you.” I had to blur some personal journaling because it’s not my place to share it with the Internet. I only have a couple hours each…
