I need to start writing more frequently. Little things happen throughout the week that make me laugh or make me cry. I stop and write a mental blog about the moment. … Only to forget the perfect words before I have the chance to write them down.

However, to make up for lost time, I’ll recap my week.

Early this week, I had a moment of clarity. I realized that I only spend two and a half hours with Charlotte every week day. It nearly broke my heart. I knew that working remotely would require more time away from Charli, but it had never been so clear. I’m still struggling with the my recent revelation.

On Thursday, self-esteem reared its ugly head. I, uh, “wiggled” into my jeans, fresh from the dryer. As all women know, jeans out of the dryer always require a little loosening up. As I did a quick lunge to the left, my pants split wide open. … Needless to say the score of self-confidence has been evened.

Finally, HOS and I enjoyed an evening as adults on Friday. He had a fancy-pants work event in Wichita. One I his friend’s from the area babysat while we got dressed up and went to the party.

It was a good week with its highs and lows, and it’s ending on a good note! A lazy day around the house and a lovely Skype date with dad and Sue aka papa and nana. We’ll be so happy to see them in-person in a few months!

I’m ready for another fun-filled week. And I pledge to write more frequently to prevent everyone from missing out on what are – undoubtedly – truly amazing blogs!
