It's very weird sometimes being the parent. I remember so clearly feeling like my parents had everything under control and they were super old and wise. And now I look back and think, "Whoa, they were so young! Am I supposed to be all wise now too?" A couple of times, we've left our girls with my parents or my mom has come to stay at our house while we go somewhere (or have a baby) and my girls get a little weepy about being left behind.

I kind of can't remember what it was like to have an office with a desk (and, let's not forget, that giant unused queen bed behind me to spread out all the papers on). I just made the mistake of looking at the photos I snapped of my office back in the spring and now I'm missing that house even more than I usually do. Now I do all my work sitting on my bed. The good news is that I have no paperwork, because basically no one has my address over here (let's not talk about how much paperwork has ...
