Life In Sixty Seconds or Less

I've been really neglecting this blog, and I'm sorry. I tend to post more frequently in my Yahoo 360, and to be honest, with my new grad school career just starting, and with the election 2 weeks away, and with my body very suddenly rebelling against the overwhelming lack of sleep... well... don't expect too much from me here for a while. That said, this is my life in a nutshell:

1) Working my butt off, long hours, evil commute, laughable pay, but a cause I can believe in, so for now it will hold me.

2) Kids are adjusting wonderfully well to our new state and our new family life, and getting bigger every day. The Clone turned 11 one month ago, Little Bit turned 5 today, and Red will be 10 in January. Hard to believe my girls are so big.

3) Started my Master of Nonprofit Management degree and am feeling sufficiently in-over-my-head, but hey, it's all good.

4) Helplessly hopelessly madly in love with Cole, who surprised the heck out of me by loving me right back. In fact, in February he's moving up here and we're going to give this "happy family" thing a shot. We do it pretty well in small-to-medium doses, so I have a feeling that it being the five of us every day, will be no sweat. Of course, like our move this summer, I haven't yet told the girls about this big change. We'll break that to them over the holidays - if you hear loud and delighted squeals of joy sometime between Christmas and New Year's, it's probably them.

5) I'm tired and there's a dirty kitchen waiting for me, so that will have to be it for now. I'll try to do a better job of keeping up, but meantime, if you want more frequent postings, you might check my 360... I just don't have the energy right now to create two blogs' worth of interesting posts with any regularity (some would argue I don't create one blog's worth)...
