I wouldn't say that this is the absolute most difficult time of my life so far.. because I've been through my husband being deployed. But this is definitely up there. Holy cow. Being a mom is hard. I'm working part-time (20 hours/week) from home now.

Maybe since my mileage is picking back up, my blogging can too. Also, I'm playing around with my web development and this blog needs a makeover. You may see some other changes here soon.
