Wow! It's been ages since I posted, but I think I remember how it's done. Days are long and tiring right now. Husband is away and I have the kids full-time, all of the time. Back to working full-time outside of the home, so that just makes things harder and more tense. Very short fuse with the little guys. I told my 7 yr old it's because Mommy can't tag out.

I know I should be enjoying their toddler/youngster years, but when you're in the thick of things, it's really hard. Potty training is not going well.

Got a new kitten,Larry, and he brings the feline menagerie to four - much to my parents's chagrin. He's tuxedo black and white and a hellion.

Still doing freelance writing - but only for the clients I love. A full-time gig means I can be a bit choosier. Writing and making a living from it - definitely, good times. Still I won't change the blog name - I like it too much.

Still working on that weight loss thing. But a 20-something coworker was shocked to learn I'm 46. Evidently she thought I was around her age. That's nice to hear. Got a grandma who will be 102 in Dec., so it's kinda genetic.
