Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

I'm a big girl now, peeps!  Not that I wasn't before, but now it's totally official.  

After months years of trying, I am finally about to embark on a new professional opportunity!

YAY!!!  (says the big girl)

It's a weird feeling.  I have been in my current position for just about 4 1/2 years now- learning and growing and meeting fabulous people along the way.  I have been the veteran, the expert, the go-to girl for so long... it is tough to imagine beginning that process again.

But alas, the time has finally come for me to spread my power-suited wings and (try to) fly.  

I promise not to poop on anyone's head while I'm soaring on the highs of newness and possibility! 

In other news, I am on Instagram now and my obsession with taking and posting pictures of my children (and admittedly myself) has reached an all time high, or low... depending on how you look at it.  I'm a perpetual optimist, so to me, it's fine.  Completely fine. 

My inclination to quit Facebook cold turkey has only deepened and seems more appealing than ever now that I have Instie to depend on.  

It's a tough call to make though because I am addicted to Facebook.  I might need to seek out a therapist before making any drastic and life-altering decisions regarding my online presence.

In other news, the fam is doing well.  My hubby is still better than yours, sorry.  

Can't you just be happy for me?!  ;)

My 4-year old boy is still the most amazing kid I know and I don't foresee that changing.   Latest Liam-ism "Mommy LOOK!  I crushed my salad! And now I'm going to crush my spaghetti!"

Oh you crushed them, did you!?!?!

He also told me the other day "I am certainly not done with my potatoes."  

The kid kills me.

My other (wonderful) baby boy turns 1 in about 2 weeks.  That's really as much mention as I want to give that topic because I puke in my mouth every time I think about it.

 

Oh, here's something FUN!  I was at the Raven's game on Sunday and saw this little number up close and personal.  Hilarious!!!

All in all, things are looking up 'round here.  I had a really rough Spring/Summer for reasons I am still uncovering.  Another topic another post.  I don't want to ruin the sarcastic tone I've got going on here today.

I disappeared off the radar for a while, but I fully intend on setting realistic blogging goals, and sticking to them as best I can.  Hopefully, one day, this will ease my transition into the small percentage of the population who isn't on Facebook.  :)

Have a great week, world.  I am glad to be back!

Go smile at a few rando's today!  Make 'em think!

I remember....

... when putting my shoes on before leaving the house didn't require me holding a baby in one hand and pointing Liam to the door with the other- purse, car seat AND diaper bag in tow.

... when I was a phone-talker.  

Not no mo'.

... when I had those crucial dancing skillzzz.

Sookie sookie now

... when all I had to worry about was homework, riding bikes after school, and what my mom was going to make for dinner.

... when I didn't know myself.

... when I thought being "cool" meant being like everyone else.

... when I thought that being really really skinny would make my really really happy.

... when I could have sworn my parents were out to get me.

... when I had more than 7 friends.

According to Facebook, I still have over 200 friends!!!!

... when I placed more emphasis on outer beauty than inner strength.

... when I realized that inner strength had a direct effect on my appearance.

... feeling alone almost my entire life, and hating it.

Alone time, now, can I please have some?

... the way my husbands hands felt on the day we got married.

... hearing both of my boys cry for the first time.

... the very moment I began to value myself.

Isn't life funny/ironic/beautiful/precious!?

Me and my little brother Michael, circa 1987/1988.  Miss you Mike  ;)

New Project

Aspiration: 

To thank everyone I possibly can in a year's time.  I am literally aiming to send one thank-you-card a day for the next year.

Why?:  
Because I am feeling the need to let those around me know how much I appreciate them.  

Because gratitude is priceless, for both the giver and the receiver.  

Because I am full of thanks... and I think it to be nearly useless if not shared. 

 Quite simply... just because.
