A lot of my friends who blog (ok, there are only\u00a04 or 5 of them) seem to have slowed down their updates lately.\u00a0 It makes me sad because I so look forward to catching up on their lives everyday, especially since they are scatterd across the globe.\u00a0 I love finding out what is going with people I know (and those I haven’t met) who are living in Bermuda, Scotland, Victoria, etc. with the click of a mouse.<\/p>\n
But I can’t blame them.\u00a0 I, myself, was VERY lax in the update department over the last couple of months.\u00a0 With prep for Liz’s wedding, hunting for the right daycare, illness, house purchases, getting ready for work, blogging was last on the list.\u00a0 It’s funny that when there is that much going on to blog about (not always the case in my life), I can’t spare the time to type it out.\u00a0 Nor do\u00a0I want to sometimes.\u00a0 Especially now.<\/p>\n
Moments not spent working are so cherished by me right as of late.\u00a0 I think you really take for granted staying home with a little one and not being ‘forced’ to leave everyday.\u00a0 The new routine includes getting a quick kiss from Jaia in the morning and then I don’t see her for 8 long hours.\u00a0 And just 2 weeks ago, those 8 hours were spent with her…so the adjustment is not an easy one.\u00a0 When I get home I want to play hard and spend the next 3.5 to 4 hours enjoying every new word, every new facial expression, and every new skill (it’s elephant sounds this week) that she’s picked up that day while in someone else’s care.<\/p>\n
But coming back to work forces me to manage my time\u00a0and in turn allows me to sneak in some blogging, more so than when taking care of a toddler all day.\u00a0 And I’m enjoying putting fingertip to keyboard again.\u00a0 Blogging allows me to jot down\u00a0important and not-so important parts of my day and I find I feel sad at missed opportunities to journal.\u00a0 Since Jaia has come along, I find I am already looking back quite a bit on her life and how I was feeling over the last 16 months.\u00a0 So when weeks go by without a post, I won’t be able to look back on it the same way.\u00a0 Not a big deal, but just reminds me of how much I enjoy keeping up this website as a way to organize thoughts and as a way to keep our faraways as close as\u00a0possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hope to be on the ball much more now than I have been lately…and maybe my (hopefully) daily updates will spark some of the others to give me something to read everyday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
