I Like… I Wish.

September 2, 2010

I like my husband… I wish we could spend more time together. I like nap time… I wish it were just a little longer. I like swimming at the pool… I wish Ronan would want to stay for more than 20 minutes. I like having a job… I wish I weren’t so exhausted from working all the time. I like… Read More

Sweet Naps

February 16, 2010

I have done everything possible in the last hour to avoid writing a blog. I don’t even know why.  There is NOTHING coming to my mind about what I would like to write about today.

I am Thankful.

November 26, 2009

I’m thankful for: …my wonderful husband, and everything he does for me. …my incredible son, and the person he is becoming every day. …my family.  Every single person.  I love you all. …my beautiful mother in law and her incredible cooking. What a feast! Year… Read More

A Dark Day for Mommy.

November 12, 2009

There was a melt-down around 11 am.  Ronan was exhausted.  He was crawling around the… Read More

On Friendship.

November 2, 2009

I have this post already written in my head, and it makes me sad.  It isn’t meant to be a woe-is-me situation or anything.  It’s really just the way things feel to me. I don’t have any friends. Yeah, I know, that’s stupid.  Mandy, you’re stupid. You have a ton of friends on Facebook that you love keeping in touch… Read More

Ultrasound Resonates: Snap Judgments

October 29, 2009

As you may or may not know, I am a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer.  That is just a huge mouthful of words that means that I do ultrasound.  I have to admit to you, I used to be lucky enough to work in the field of my passion: Obstetrics… pregnant mommies.  But since the birth of my child, and the overwhelming… Read More
