One could write a book…
with the list of things I haven’t been writing about lately.
Folks, I’m running on empty at the moment, enjoying a lot of my time and cursing the low moments of parenthood when I might otherwise be sleeping for the rest of the time. (Night time is the worst, longest part of potty training by far, I think.) Needless to say, I could stand to sleep a lot more than I have been lately, but the exhaustion is largely rewarding so I am merely stating the case, and not complaining.
I’ve made a lot of amazing things at school, and I’m surprised by how many skills I never thought much about but that once learned are immediately accessible to me at all times now. I haven’t cracked a cookbook at home in a while (save for homework), which is what allows me to continue enjoying cooking at home – I can be both unstructured and successful, and therefore also relax.
I have some upheaval that I am not inclined to write about at the moment, entirely separate from any practical career consideration. I suppose that emotional occupation is as much a factor on my full plate as any of my daily routines, obligations and responsibilities. This will likely have met resolution before I ever write about it here, though in the interest of being truly honest about why I don’t post often, I felt it needed to be mentioned.
In sum, I’m a student, a mom and human. I’m carrying a lot right now and it’s only going to get harder, although the balance will change. I haven’t been faithfully writing anything of interest here on the blog, but even that will change one day when I have more time on my hands. If you’re actually reading this, I thank you sincerely for that.

Being four things full time simultaneously – wife, mother, student, self – is damned difficult. Hang in there! As Sami grows up, and you (and your family) settle into the new routines, it will get somewhat easier.
Hugs to you, and that’s what it is…
