Hello, hello

I have been blogging on myspace for a little over four years now, but I have decided to switch over to this site for a variety of reasons. However, I'm still figuring out how this site works, so don't expect anything too fancy too soon. I was reading through a friends blog (shout out to kristeee) and it really brought me back to when Isaac was a newborn and the sleep deprived, running on empty emotional mess I was back then as I was juggling the unexpected reality of being a single mom (if you don't know, ask), going back to work in a new position at a physically demanding job when Isaac was eight weeks old and leaving him at daycare, and taking graduate classes. I'm surprised I made it out alive to be honest. It's crazy to me to look at my wise cracking three year old putting on his own shoes and riding a tricycle and jumping feet first into the the deep end of the swimming pool and it seriously tugs at my heart strings. Where did my *baby* go? I was working and working and doing practicums and going to classes and driving and driving and I really feel like I missed out on the best parts of his babyhood. I do not regret any of what I did, and even if my circumstances had been different I would still want a career (no offense to ANYONE but stay at home mommyhood is NOT for me). However, I always worry that Isaac will be my only child and that I will never get a chance to really savor the best parts of babyhood. Anyways, I don't mean to make my first blog such a depressing one.
