Oops I did it again

Aaaaand it's September. There was a headlong rush from the end of July to now -- filled with summer camp, many weekends on Cape Cod, and a camping trip to New Hampshire. Let' s not forget the DNC (yeah!) and the RNC (BOO!) (Which reminds me: put a sock in it). I discovered facebook at some point this summer and really got sucked into it in August. Then I poke my head up from the explosion of packed/unpacked STUFF in my living room and notice, holy shit, today is my 10th wedding anniversary!

I am learning that my lack of posts generally coincides with my general dissatisfaction with my life (for lack of a better phrase), and not really with my level of busyness. Let's face it, life with 2 kids under 5 is always busy, so I can't blame not posting on that! Rather, I just don't have anything "nice" to say. Or at least, I really don't find kvetching/bitching about my current state of affairs very interesting. Feel free to correct me, and quote my past complaining.

Okay, so what am I not whining about here? Well, Budgets. And Hemmorhaging Money to moving/children/fuel oil. The wash/rinse/repeat life of a SAHM. That moving has napalmed my social life. Struggling to add my 5 years out of the paid workforce in a meaningful way to my resume. Finding confidence in my ability to be a worker someone would want to pay to do something *I* want to do -- and that's not Insurance Sales. There are some people in my life who made the choice not to have kids (hear that Sarah Palin? CHOICE), and I find myself in serious envy of that decision. Do not get all jumpy, I love my daughters, but sometimes, I wish I had my disposable income/time back.

See? So very uninteresting.
