I was there instead of here. Again. I’m sorry. I swear I’ll be back soon.

Sunday Shoo!
February 20 2011 Posted in: General · Tags: teh internetz
Don’t worry, I haven’t disappeared again. I just haven’t been feeling lighthearted enough to post here. But this, too, shall pass eventually. In the meantime, I have been posting more at From the Monkey Bars. My goal is to get that up and running better, since I haven’t been able to devote much energy to it ’til now. On that note, you’d be surprised how much time it takes to sign up for a bunch of stuff and basically SPAM people, amazing really.
A few of my entries there this week:

After a bit of a dry spell, where we were all burnt out from the holidays and just life in general, From the Monkey Bars is back up and ready to go with a new design! Come by and check it out!

Here, But Not
Dear You,
I’m sorry for such a long gap between posts. I’m still here, everything is going well. Thanks to the generosity of some amazing friends and family, my kids had a wonderful Christmas. I hope yours was the same.
Actually, I meant to post before the holiday to wish you all a Merry Christmas, but my motivation right now is seriously lacking. I blame all the chocolate. That’s a good thing to blame, right? Better than just saying I’ve been lazy.
To be honest, I’ve barely been on the computer the past few weeks. When I am, it’s just for a quick check-in with twitter. My Google Reader is well over 500 unread entries right now, the highest it’s ever been. I’m sorry, but I can’t read 500 entries to check up on everyone. If anything is going with you, please let me know. I feel awful for losing touch.
I’m still here, but I’m not. Not right now. I plan on being back after the New Year. I’m just enjoying my family right now, the last week before my son goes back to school. I’ll be back before you know it.
Love,
Me
Infinite Wisdom, Or Something
December 02 2010 I’ve been a mother for over 7 years now. In all honesty, most days I still don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I have learned a few things, though.
- If you tidy up one room, the others just get messier
- Keeping your house clean for longer than 10 minutes is a lesson in futility
- Hearing “I love you” from your child never gets old
- Nothing ever goes as planned
- Car rides are no longer relaxing; they are stressful and possibly reek of vomit
- No toy is ever as fun as the box it came in
- Your kid will inevitably roll his eyes at the grand excursion you’re excited to take as a family
- Mothers do have superpowers, such as noise-tuner-outer and clairvoyance
- It’s amazing how fast siblings laughing together can turn to tears
- Your toes, they will be kept upon
- Accept help: whether from your kids, family, or friends
- It’s fun to splash in puddles, it’s even more fun to splash others
- There is bound to be someone out there who thinks you’re parenting wrong
- If your kids are quiet, check on them
- You may wish your kids to be older when they’re babies, only to wish they were babies again when they’re older
- What you used to find annoying in other people’s children, you may now find adorable in yours
- No two kids, even when related, are alike
- Potty-training sucks
- Kids like to be pantsless, especially when company’s coming over
- There are good days and there are bad days: the good days are pretty good, the bad days are really bad
- Contrary to what your younger self thought, “Because I said so” is, in fact, a suitable response
- Just when you think you have it all figured out, you realize you still have no clue
