It’s recently occurred to me that my life has turned into one where I have very little time to myself. Like, duh, right? Babies will do that to a person’s existence. For instance, the baby has been napping for 30 glorious minutes. In that time I’ve finished almost all of the breakfast dishes, gone through [...]

The Big Picture
by Amy on 20. Nov, 2009 in My Every Day
I was talking to a friend recently who mentioned that it appeared things were going really well with the baby. Being one of those long distance Internet friends, we see each other very rarely.

Okay, so I forgot Scott’s birthday. Sort of. It’s not like I didn’t know which date it was (Nov 8). It’s that I didn’t realize that day was TODAY. If only I had logged on to Facebook this morning. Those little birthday reminders? It would have told me, “Hey idiot, today happens to be the [...]
