I'll be back soon to fill in the blanks. Until then... http://sahmjoys.today.com/2009/08/24/im-back/ My boobs are better now.  Just thought I'd let you know. My daughter is doing very well!  I thought she was going to have a hard time adjusting to being weaned since she was so dependent on nursing, but she's handling it well.  She's falling asleep on her own and sleeping ... http://sahmjoys.today.com/2008/12/14/patience/ So I am finally and officially weaning my daughter!  She's 14 months old and I am very happy I was able to nurse her this long.

She broke my glasses today. She loves to tear them ... http://sahmjoys.today.com/2008/12/03/mommy-abuse/ It's been forever!  I can't seem to get here everyday anymore.  Darn break broke me!  So what's been happening in my world?

I finished Eclipse.  It was good.  I enjoyed it.  It's weird because while I'm reading it, I'm enthralled, interested and enjoying it.  ... http://sahmjoys.today.com/2008/11/25/im-back-and-talking-about-tarts/ I can't believe I'm still finding time to read!  Leave it to a good vampire series to lure me in! I finished New Moon in record time.  I was going to wait a week or so before buying the next one, so I could rest a little, but I lasted a ... http://sahmjoys.today.com/2008/11/20/eclipse-and/ There are many facets to being a stay at home mom.  Caring for my child.  Taking care of my home, and husband.  Taking care of myself.  Entertaining myself, trying to stay sane.  And of course...cooking! I made the best dinner last night!  I made "real" chili rellenos for the first time.  ... http://sahmjoys.today.com/2008/11/19/10/ I was driving around yesterday, thinking, as always.  Something came to my mind as I drove and wrote posts in my head.  (This is something I do often.  I get lost in thought as I drive.)  As I was thinking, it occurred to me, I use the ellipsis, WAY too ... http://sahmjoys.today.com/2008/11/17/the-damned-ellipsis/
