Hey Guys!
Small blogging rut going on over here in Chi-town! This post is subtitled "an attempt to just get back on the [blogging] horse." So here goes. It's not pretty, it's not well thought out; it just is.
Shall I start with our dear little Y? Ok, she is seriously the cutest kid ever and doing really wonderful! She is a real joker and loves to play tricks and has a lovely imagination. We love that about her! She is presently obsessed with being a superb sports woman and her interests include tae kwon do (of which we simply make up what appear to me to be "moves") and eating lots of vegetables so that she can be as fast as Usain Bolt. Tonight I asked her if she would like some more carrots and she said "If I eat them, will I be so, so fast like Usain Bolt?" A momma never lies. "Of course!"
Life has had many dips and turns in the past month, the greatest being my "first born child", my office place. I won't go into long and boring details, but things are not going so well at the workplace. Lots of transition, lots of changes and lots of sadness. I'm contemplating my next steps and trying to balance my desire to succeed in my profession with my new life as a mother. Aagh..the balance.
I allegedly start training for a half marathon on Monday. Anyone remember by last attempt in the summer? The world's most awful minor foot problem (plantar fasciatis) overtook me and I was left with no choice but to stop running. I'm so hoping that will not be the case this time around!
In other news: N's parents visited for three weeks, N and I got away for a night, I've cooked a lot lately and we are excited to have some special guests this weekend!
That's the latest and greatest from here! It's 9:10pm. Clearly past my bed time!

Love that early bed time! Training for a marathon sounds wonderful - you go! As for the work/child balance ... I don't know how anyone does it! I can't balance two kids and a 12hr/wk job! I cannot imagine a full-time job. Hope things improve on the work front!
I can't believe Y is your first child...you are balancing so well. So much better than I ever did! You are amazing. Isn't it so fun to see their personality?! I love the veg-tale. I wish B would eat hers, no luck. Now brownies...that's a different story. Keep those Y stories coming:)
