enough

10/52: photo saved from my fried external hard-drive.

after ten weeks of
recovering photos,
backing up hard-drives,
sorting and editing,
consulting geniuses,
nursing liam through
a twelve day bout of rotavirus,
and just plain not sleeping,
i am back on track.

after not even wanting to pick up my camera
due to the lack of uploading options,
i am ready to start posting
babychop's picture of the week again.

okay, okay. i am a bit late this week.
but i am back.

and that has to be good enough.

i don't know how all the other mamas do it.
you know who you are:
the mamas who blog and craft and photograph
and knit and write and take classes
and work outside-of-the-house and
hell
while we're at it,
brush their teeth before noon
and even apply lipstick
and wear clothing that doesn't have
snot
oatmeal
yogurt
banana
smeared on it.

i have wanted to blog.
i've wanted to write about the visits to my
old school and my sweet shorties.
i have been searching to find the words to describe
this almost frantic need to meaningfully connect to community.
for myself and for my family.
and then i find myself at the other end of the spectrum;
completely content spending the afternoon
being still with my boy.


18/52: thanksgiving at bethany beach, delaware.
