I have now returned to the blogging world, after an unintended hiatus. I will be posting pics and updates soon. I forgot the dumb camera cable at home, so I can't get anything uploaded right now.
Blogging via Blackberry... Seriously. Tech stuff makes me giddy. I'm dangerously close to chronic geekdom.
I think the woman that wrote the article attached to the URL below is a complete lunatic. I would have to go a re-read the entire article again to be sure that I disagree with everything she says, but I think it would piss me off too much. Seriously.
How do you quantify the level of love that you have for your children and husband and dare to compare the two? Those two loves are so polar and yet so visceral it's dangerous to let the two inter-mingle. I will say that I would destroy anyone that even alluded to harming my children in any way, and anyone includes my husband. It's not personal; it's instinctual. However, to think that my husband would even be in that group of "anyone" is absurd. He is phenomenal.
Back to my fury.
Condoms in the bathroom? Why don't you just sit down with "The Joy of Sex" and read it with an outstretched arm to be sure that they take in the pictures. Pan to the right and then to the left to display every angle. Insanity.
I understand being open. I understand wanting to have a great relationship with your kids. I just don't think that counting the number of missing condoms in the bathroom is making the type of connection that is healthy. It's lazy to express the very least of my exasperation at that whole parenting theory.
As a wife, on the other hand, I love my husband unconditionally. I do not withhold showing him precisely how much, based upon how many dishes he washes or how many times he vacuums.
I usually don't comment or blog about articles that I have read. I certainly don't pay much attention to editorials, but this one just blew me away.
See for yourself:

I messed with the HTML in the last post, when I didn't really have enough time to make it look right. I'll fix it later :-)
The point of this post is to POINTE out that I just enrolled Kayden in dance, and I am JAZZED!
Shameless play-on-words intended.
She's two! Here are some pictures from her actual birthday, and then pictures of her party. Her birthday was on the same day as Meghan and Dustin's wedding.
... my faithful little blog.
SO much has happened, since I posted last. The most important thing at this juncture is that I finally found a JOB - wahooo! I'm working for Verizon at the National Operations Center. It's pretty neat, to say that least. I will be directly working on the programming that controls the monitoring for the entire network's connectivity, be it data, voice, etc. I am pumped, to say the least. In addition to testing, I will have to write scripts to automate my testing. That is why they brought me in. I know what I'm doing, when it comes to breaking software, and they wanted someone also willing to learn programming and then to build a program to do it automatically... that's me! Hopefully, I'll be able to create my own template for blogger at some point haha. I just don't have the time right now, so I'll be lazy and use someone else's ;-)
I'll be updating more often, now. The past two weeks have been consumed by preparing for this job and then actually being there... Life is settling down a little bit now, so I'll have maybe five minutes of downtime...
At any rate, this whole experience has been life-changing. I work and enjoy just that at it's most visceral. I have a job. That in itself is beyond fortunate to me at this time in our world. I'm not sure I would have even known to be that grateful a year ago. It will probably shape the rest of my career for the better. I am grateful for it.
I am organizing pictures to take up to work, so I will post some from the past few years soon...
