Here we have a beautiful, awesome blog. And two mamas who are totally into the idea of imperfect parenting... and then there is me, who is just TOTAL FAIL when it comes to maintaining more than one blog. (I also let my son's blog go to seed...)
January resolution: I am going to reaffirm my commitment to this blog. I shall post at least once a week. I shall fail and bounce back!
This week's imperfection: I could not let my husband handle one night on his own. For fuck's sake! I have been the go-to night parent for so fucking long, and I couldn't just try to see if my husband could handle one night? I am afraid of becoming my mother, afraid of abandoning my child, afraid of being abandoned all over again...
My triumph is that I am considering going away for a weekend by myself. I haven't committed to it (we're still maybe going as a family) but I think that going on my own would be a Very Good Thing. Totally wabi sabi because I will be terrified at the huge change, but... I need it. And Rems could use a lot more daddy time.

It's been two weeks (three?) since my last post...
I feel like I should make confession or something! (I'm Jewish, in case you haven't noticed, but still...)
What can I say, the weeks have just flown by. I saw a mama friend from LLL this evening and her son -- who was so teeny tiny when we met, is now so big! It was shocking... I realized I hadn't seen her in a month, already!
What's keeping me so busy? Life. With. Toddler.
For all that I love my son (and oh. I. do.), I realize keenly how much busier I am now that he is here and so so so so so active! And then when we're not busy, we are chilling, toddler style, which means no computer (or if there's a computer, Elmo is definitely involved, which limits mommy's brain power/ laptop usage to checking email and keeping up with my LJ).
Plus, the second year molars (which are almost all in, Thank G-d!) have been keeping him from either sleeping well at night or taking naps. We're doing OK, but I just have to keep the important stuff in mind: staying afloat and making sure my life isn't revolving around the 'nets. That I get some me time that doesn't include typing. (hahahahahahaha)
Next week, we're traveling again. This time for six weeks -- 3 without my husband :(((( . I'm not sure I'm ready.
And yet, I will be.
That, my friends, is the essence of my life. And it is good.
