Why?
Well this past weekend was Ellie’s first birthday!!!!!!!!!!  See adorable picture below:
And this first birthday was preceded by Ellie’s terrible stomach virus (which we now think was Rotovirus) and ...

Yes.  Ellie and I made a trip to the ER…she is okay…but here is the story…
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving I was literally skipping around, so happy that this (see photo below) wasn’t how I would be spending my Thanksgiving…HUGE and under-house arrest in NYC because I was days from my due ...

Okay…I don’t have much time to write because…well because I am a single mom that works full time and likes to have an apartment without vomit and dust bunnies on the floor.
There are some days I think, “Oh my god, this is so easy.  I can’t believe I was so stressed ...

Wow.
So okay…I started back to work.  Proof of this in my appearance and the fact that everything in my life is one big blur. And blur might even be an overstatement…everything is one big black hole in my brain.
