Silent Night
If anyone doesn't know what to get me (or my husband for that matter) for Christmas here is an idea: 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. The way I look at it sleep is economical as it doesn't cost anything. It's healthy as your body needs it. AND its environmentally friendly as you don't have to use paper to wrap it. Sleep is the perfect gift for anyone with young children.

M-M-I-A. "Mother Missing In Action"
Its been over a year since I've posted anything on this blog. Its been 2 years since I've actually written anything. I don't really have a great excuse other than I had a baby, an active baby, who is now an active toddler. Sure, I could have written during nap times but nap times for my daughter mean nap times for me. Yes, I'm that tired. My daughter is not a good sleeper and when your sleep is interrupted night after night you have to make it up when you can. Luckily for me, I'm a "stay at home mom" so I have the luxury of napping. And now I'm pregnant again so that means I'm really tired. Yep, a month after my Sarah's first birthday, a bun was in the oven. I have two more months to go before the chaos of a newborn and a 2 year old wreak havoc on my life.
I was an assignment manager at the local NBC affiliate for 7 years and doing the same thing in Chattanooga 2 years before that. TV folks tend to be pretty opinionated and while "journalism" is typically straight forward, yet those who work in the field are some of the most creative and witty people I know. So, I started this blog after I quit working in an effort to keep my creative juices flowing. Not long after quitting I found out I was pregnant and my priorities changed. (Baby on the brain, all the time.) I knew my life would change but I had no idea how much. There are thousands of "mom blogs" out there. I'd really like to stay away from that but they say to write what you know. Right now, in life, I know mommyhood and kids. Mothers are almost like a cult. Its like we all share a secret that others just don't know. I think that's why there are so many mom blogs. We can all share a story, a laugh, a cry, a "I've been there," etc. So I'm sure my blog will become pregnancy and motherhood heavy and may even get a new name but don't be surprised if I throw something else in there as I desperately try to hold on to some of me and not lose all of myself to "the motherhood."
