So, I don't know if I should be embarrassed or excited that it is nearly two years since my last post... Life has been, well, life. And busy at that. I was giggling at myself as I read old post and thinking how much life has changed in somewhat of a short time.
Obviously, Calliope made her grand appearance on Valentine's Day 2011, and it has been "The Calliope Show" pretty much nonstop since then. I can't complain too much though; she brings more joy to my life than I could ever imagine. Also I gave up my "glamorous" career to stay at home with her, so I can't be too disappointed at how that turned out.
I do have to mention that I thought life would be a little calmer with me at home, but I was surprisingly mistaken. Grading papers and coming up with lesson plans have been replaced with busy hands ready to grab anything and everything and a trying to manage a home on a budget... Losing an income has forced, or I will say inspired, me to come up with some creative ways to make our home run somewhat smoothly. I am not quite the Crazy Coupon Lady, but I don't think she is crazy anymore...
I am also writing my thesis to complete my Masters degree. I don't know what I am going to do with it once I finish, but I was too far along to just quit. I guess I will just be a highly educated mommy for the time being. I know, I know, education is not a waste, but having to write a novella is not my idea of a good time. I will say that I have written 45 pages so far, and it is a lot easier than I had anticipated. One day I will write my book. Yes, I am one of those English majors who wants to write a book one day. Surprise, surprise.
I have also become somewhat of an insomniac for a reason that is not apparent to me. It is currently 11:50 p.m., and there is now signs of sleepiness in sight. One would think that I could go to bed, but being at home has perpetuated by busy mind, and this rambling is part of the result. I have looked at Pintrest until it has become somewhat boring because I haven't seen anything new in a very long time. Facebook is boring... I could write on my thesis, but who wants to do that? So I thought I would give this a go although it is rather pointless because anyone who reads this already know what is going on in my life.
Well, I can see that I have nothing really interesting to add, so I will save my tantalizing stories for another sleepless night.
