Now that I’m getting back to work for a while, I’m once again relying on my slow cooker. It’s my way of making sure Kellan and Michael eat somewhat decently while I’m away. Otherwise, left to their own devices, there’s a fair amount of restaurant take-out and macaroni & cheese that gets served at the dinner table.

Today is the day! Well, to be specific, TONIGHT is the day I go back to work for a while. And I have a lot on my mind.

I’ve really settled into a groove with this stay-at-home mom thing. I’m no Supermom, but I think I’m doing a pretty okay job. So what do I go and add to my plate, while I’m pregnant, no less? A JOB.

You know how everybody always says every pregnancy is different? I think in many cases that’s true, but there’s one thing that my first and second pregnancies share: the nesting instinct. I nested the crap out of the place when I was pregnant with Kellan.

I normally don’t spout off much about politics here on AnchorMommy, but right now, I feel I have no choice. Something very disturbing is happening in my beautiful home state of Idaho: funding for Idaho Public Television could soon be phased out — for good.

It’s time. I’ve tried to deny it, but my body is insisting. It’s time for maternity pants.
I’ve been using a rubber band on my jeans so I don’t have to button them all the way, and it sorta works, but it’s a little uncomfortable. So I hauled out my big tub of maternity clothes [...]

If I could wave a magic wand and change one thing about my life, I would make it so my best friend and I could live in the same town. She came to visit me this weekend, and wouldn’t you know it — I don’t think I have one picture of the two of us together.

I am SO RELIEVED. I feel like a huge weight is off my shoulders. I think I’m pretty good at keeping secrets, but I am TERRIBLE at keeping my own. When people have asked me how I’m doing lately, I’ve been biting my tongue to keep from blurting out, “I’m tired! I’m pregnant! I would really like a glass of wine, but I am tired and pregnant!”

Today’s the day! The day I FINALLY get to tell all of you about the major development unfolding for me in 2010 — a development which will be the second biggest undertaking of my life to date.
This is the announcement I alluded to in A Look Back at 2009. Number six on the 2010 list, specifically.

This is a typo I’ve been hanging on to for a while. I spotted it on Christmas Eve, and now that my holiday spirit has dwindled, I don’t feel bad making fun of it. Yay!
So. Heath care, huh? The Senate passed the heath care bill. Great. All this time, they were supposed to be working [...]
