1. As listed in my profile: I have a 15 year old daughter and an infant son (their birthdays are 8 days apart!) and both were surprises!

2. This is the first time in my life I've really been unemployed. With my daughter, I wasn't working the first year, but I was going to college. This time I'm scrambling to figure out what I can reasonably do to help with finances.

3. I have a single fly in my house right now, and, of course, of all the places it could be, it is consistently landing on me and my son while I'm typing and we're alternating feeding with playtime.

4. Can I just say that it really sucks having no support network? We have no family nearby and most of my friends work full-time and have, surprise, teenagers, so its pretty much me taking care of the house, family and baby. I mean, my friends are sweet, they are just really busy!

5. Don't get me wrong--I love my children and being a mom, I just feel kind of trapped and like I'm losing myself again. I'm more than just a wife and mom, right?!
