Further and Further Apart
My entries that is.
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve written. I guess Facebook is replacing what I used to get from here. Also–I never have time to get on here and read. It’s a rare occasion that I get more than 10 or 20 minutes on the computer and most of that time is spent doing bills or applying for jobs.
My job is okay but it’s just that–a job. I am looking for different work like a mad woman. I have applied for about 6 jobs in the past two weeks. I just need more money or less hours with a bit more money so I can pay less daycare or…something. And I need to not be doing boring work. I need to be doing something I am passionate about. But it’s (mostly) paying the bills so…..
The kids are doing great. Anna will be 8 months old on Monday. She’s sitting up on her own now and is eating food. She is getting into the crawling position but doesn’t quite move. We are still doing cloth diapers about 75% of the time. I’d do it 100% if I had more money but that’s something that will have to wait.
Kathryn is doing well in school. She and I went shopping for the Daddy Daughter Dance next week. She told me that I have bad taste in clothes and that I’m not a cool mom lol Oh well….it just made me chuckle. We enjoyed our evening though. I don’t get much time alone with her these days.
H is doing good at his job. He and I are doing well. We wrote each other love letters for Valentine’s Day since we have no money. It was sweet. I wish we could afford a getaway. Anna spent her first night away from us a couple of weeks ago. She went to my mother in law’s house. I was impressed she lasted through the night. Now that I know she can, we can have some more overnights I hope. OF course I may have to wait until i’m not breastfeeding anymore. My body doesn’t respond to the pump very well and my boobs were hurting so bad after being away from her for 24 hours!
I really don’t have a lot to write about. I came on here to some sad news and my heart is breaking for a few of you. And so many babies going to be born soon! I really miss this place for what it was before–it’s not the same though. I guess that’s why it’s easy to be gone for a month and a half without realizing it.
Feel free to ask me anything. I’ll try to get on here in the next couple of days–that is if I have any readers still lol

You have readers, silly. I think part of it is new mommy syndrome. Most new moms (or new again) tend to take a break for a bit. I know for awhile though I stopped coming here. It seemed like a chore. Then I did one of the monthly things and got back into using it and it became habit again. It’s definitely not fb though!

Nice to see you back 😀 I do wonder how you’re getting on in between entries so you aren’t forgotten 😉

Yay, I’m so glad you updated! I keep up with you on facebook, but I miss the details about your life! 🙂

I feel the same way…although I basically dropped off of most social networking all together. I go on to both OD and FB everyday and update occasionally, but for no more than a few minutes a day. We’re paying off all of our debt, so our internet at home is the slowest there is because it’s cheap, LOL. It’s not even worth going on the internet most of the time, and I’m too damned busy! I check everything once in the morning and sometimes I’ll come on if I have time in the afternoons…I do miss it though. I miss what I used to have here, and I always tell myself I’m going to write more. It just doesn’t seem to happen. Miss you, girl! Glad things are going OK! Good luck with the job search, my job is also “just a job” but it pays really well and I won’t find a position that can match it in this town, so I’m stuck. I hope you find something you can enjoy more, or work less hours at. *hugs*

I think the love letter is a perfect gift! :o)

If you’re not a cool mom, does that make you a hot mom?

Missed you! Like really! But I think we all have our ebbs and flows. Maybe you will move away from OD completely, but you will be missed.

I luckily catch photos and updates via Facebook, so it’s good to see great things happening for you! Ashley

It can be very hard keeping up with everyone else’s life when you have so much going on in yours. Good luck on the job front, really hope you find something you like soon (with better pay too)!

I am glad to see you on FB because I don’t check this place much any more either. This is the first time I’ve logged in….in 6 months? A lot of my favorites are gone. The rest of you I keep up with on FB! Grateful for that.
