It's been a while since I blackberry blogged.

Ya, it's been a while since I blackberry blogged.

Or blogged period or full stop (haha).

Yup.

Since we last chatted, been sick two more times - stomach sick (lordjesustakemenow) and then another damn cold. You know I think I've had a fucking lifetime worth of sickness in the last two and half months. It's been ridiculous. I'm convinced it's due to lack of proper sleep. Still haven't had not one stretch of five hours of nonstop sleep since March 9, 2009.

Someday.

I never got sick not one time when I was on maternity leave with Kiran and we would go to the Womans Hospital of Texas every week twice a week and hang out with other moms and babies. I was possibly sleeping the same amount then but also not working full time. Love my work, but it's difficult when you have such a young baby that's not developmentally ready to sleep through the night.

Sometimes I wish I was in Denmark where I'd get one year paid maternity leave or the UK. Hell, even Canada or Singapore (four months paid). Just think of all the sleep I could get. I know I'm tired cos when I sleep and actually dream of myself sleeping.

How crazy is that?

Soon, soon.

So. How are you doing? I heard you...

A lot of people have been coming up to me lately asking me some variation of "how are you doing? I heard you had a rough time" or "I heard you went through some things".

I don't know if they're referring to me being physically sick or mentally ill. I always automatically think that the must be referring to my mental state and mumble something like, "yeah I really lost it and I'm still looking for it."

Nervous giggle.

Um. Yeah

So if you see me and you want to ask me how I'm doing, be sure you *really* want to know and please let me know what part of me you're referring to.

Just pumpin' and reading dooce.com

Yup.

Cos that's what I do. I recently discovered dooce.com (yeah, I know, right?) Well, I'm an absolute fangrrl now, cos I saw her on Oprah and I read her book and I'm a reading her blog all the time now.

It makes me feel like I'm not the only one.

And I need that.

Pretty sure that I'm certifiable

OK.

So I went back to work and lasted the week (yippee!). And then went back the following week and am sick again.

FARK.

And so is Kiran. Little sniffle here, little sniffle there.

I have a sore throat and a scratchy dry cough.

I'm not really impressed with this turn of events. Trying to stay strong but it's getting harder.

Good day today. I baked the cookies for Ray that I was gonna do on Father's day but didn't get a chance to. They are YUMMY!!!

I declare Sundays to be No-Limit-Cookie-Days. That's right, no limit!

Munchin is almost four months old. Can you believe it? Compare this photo of Kiran at 3 months

Now


Then (almost 3 months)
