I haven't been here in a while mostly because my news has been so directly linked to my new baby that the blog about her has received any small amount of blogger attention I've given. But I think it is time for me to start up on me again!
In the deep news, the prior paragraph kicked it off well. Also, I've been officially terminated from my job after a painfully long stringing-along in which it appeared that they might allow me to resume work but part-time instead of full. Then I got a letter instructing me to appear for work full-time starting March 2nd and I wrote back that I would not be doing that ... etc etc. Basically, although I'm disappointed because I loved my job, I think it was the right decision. I don't regret it. I don't feel comfortable having a child and then leaving her with someone else for 40 hours a week at 5 months old.
The "peep?" I learned an important lesson 2 weeks ago. If you're going to do something stupid like leave a baby unattended on a bed, don't wander far and definitely don't commence urination. If you do so, you will risk rising up from the bowl mid-peep-stream to catch the aforementioned baby before she plummets to the ground. And you will peep yourself.
