it's been years

so, for once in my life (ha!), i was actually ahead of the times.  blogger.  i've heard about it, read a few… of course, way back in ’94 when i had my own online diary, we didn’t call it blogger.  and there certainly weren’t enough of us out there to have a “proper” name for them.  it was just that – an online diary and nothing more.  of course, when you’re in the net industry and writing about how horrible and wicked your boss is, it’s best that he doesn’t know how to access your online diary.  too bad he did.  good thing i don’t work there anymore, but then again, he’s passed away since then.  all those screaming fits in the office must have caught up to him finally.

 

my life is in a much different place then it was the last time i did this.  i've been married for 7 years, i have kids (3 to be exact), and i now work for myself.  freedom.  what a wonderful thing that is.  i can wake up at 10am, work whenever I want and go on vacation whenever i please.

 

wait… no i can’t.  the kids don’t let me sleep past 7am; when work calls, it’s typically with an hour deadline on some report they need; and with school and the hubby’s job, those anytime vacations are a thing of the past.  assuming, of course, that they were ever a part of the present.  i've never gone on a spur-of-the-moment trip in my life.

 

so now, now i'm just up to my knees in diapers for my newborn, up to my knees in activities - running the kids to school, playgroups, dance and gymnastics; and up to my knees in love with all the fun times that i get to spend with my family and friends.

 

i guess you could say that i'm up to my ears in life.  and loving every minute of it!
