Momma's Back!

Well, sort of.  I'm actually home sick today.  But if you haven't heard from me it's because I've been working my patootie off at the office.  I worked nearly an entire month straight- weekends and holidays included and I am tired.  And I'm sure that's why I'm sick.

So if you haven't heard from me, I can only say, "I'm sorry."  If I missed your birthday, your kid's birthday party, your wedding (yes, that happened), forgot to send a thank you note, didn't return your call/email/text/IM, again . . . I'm sorry.  

A few things happened while I was "out":

1) Iowa proved itself to be more progressive than California.  Who knew?  Not me, that's for sure.  And I've been to Iowa- lots of times.  Don't get me wrong, Iowa is full of very nice people, but I wouldn't use adjectives like, "liberal," "progressive" or "gay-friendly" to describe them.   Until now that is.

2) Finn grew up.  He just seems so much more like a boy and less of a baby.  His voice sounds different, he's growing out of his clothes and he is full of opinions.  Knock if off kid, I don't even let your dad have his own opinions.  I wish.

3) I gained 5 more lbs.  I blame it on all of the late night stress eating while putting in those long days and nights at work.  I feel huge but those that love me (really love me) keep telling me I look great.  Thank you very much.

4) I made this.  It was pretty good.  Next time more lemon curd.

5) Jason and I put ourselves on a budget.  Bleh.  Stupid budget.  Stupid economy.

6) And my c-section got scheduled- Monday, Sept 28th at 11:30 am.  How's that for taking all of the mystery out of child birth!  Put it on your calendar and then come late September when you ask yourself, "Gee, I wonder if Susan had that baby yet?" you can just check your date book and you will know.

Aaah, it feels good to be back.  But I know what my readers want- more pictures of Finn.  I've got some and will post them soon.

Love to all!
