Mom2Amara who?
My poor, sweet neglected blog. How I've missed thee.
And I've missed the companionship of my fellow bloggers as well.
I've been busy. Lackadaisical. Uninspired.
But I typed in the address to the blog yesterday and frowned. It was like disappointing my best friend. I was kicked in the stomach. I needed to foster the relationship.
So who's Mom2Amara? And where has she been?
- I got a new job. I'm out of television news. It was a difficult decision. And it was a crazy transition. But I finally think I'm doing what I was meant to do.
- And a new job has given me time to do more Mom2Amara things. Like taking her to swim class.
- I cried during Toy Story 3. Twice.
- I have a patio. And while you don't see it in this picture, I finally have a lawn in the backyard too!
- The basement in House2Amara flooded. We lost a lot of our belongings, including some of the first pictures Amara drew. Let this be a lesson to everyone: frame or properly store your kids' keepsakes!
- But now we're in the process of finishing said basement. And I get to unleash my inner interior designer! I like this and this and this. Notice the theme?
- I've learned this summer that I enjoy a vanilla twist soft serve ice cream cone much more than a chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.
- Two people I know lost their Moms to illness. It opened up an entire can of grief that seemed to be hiding in the back of my heart's pantry.
- We've hit a baseball game or twice.
- I baby swapped with Aunt2Amara for a weekend. It made me realize how much I miss having a little one in the house.
- I find myself on Twitter more than Facebook. Documenting thoughts in 140 characters is more enjoyable than ducking from sheep being thrown at my FB profile.
- We have yet to take a summer vacation. New job means no time off. Flooded basement means we're broke. If I'm lucky, we'll make it to the beach before school starts.
- I've missed all of you!

Congratulations on the new job...sounds like it was a good decision for you. Bummer about the basement but sounds like you're getting a dream room. Thanks for the update. I'd been thinking of you too. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Welcome back Mo and congrats on the new job. Change is always a good thing. Take care and I’ll be checking in.
welcome back! We missed you! Amara is so big now and I just love the new backyard. I bet it makes coffee in the morning that much better! Love you!
I've missed you too! And I love your list. Maybe I should do the same to jumpstart my blogging...xo
Hi ladies! Thanks for the words of welcome and support :) Missed all of you. Promise to check in this week. And @Jaci, Amara wants to come out and visit soon!
