So this is cool. I temporarily abandoned my blog for a couple of weeks in favor of prepping for my teaching thing and showing up for work as scheduled but didn't ditch it entirely because I felt stupid that I couldn't live up to my self-imposed rule about regularly blogging for 14 days straight!
Growth, people. I don't need to prove nothin' to nobody!
My teaching thingy went awesome, even though I picked 4-5 fights with my husband before the big day because my anxiety was a little OOC*. I was asked to continue on in the hiring process, even though less than half of the 60+ candidates were asked to do so. I am so pumped for this.
What else? Carter dipped his big toe in the "beach" at his party, so that's a win. I was accepted to the PhD program I wanted, which will start in the Fall. And I totally want to do this, but I am pretty sure that I would be spreading myself a leetle thin if I tried to attempt it.
Also: I really really really need to talk about Carter's diagnosis from a year ago, and the fact that I just cancelled his one year follow-up.
I am so glad that I didn't let my blog die. It's cool to be back, even though I haven't exactly been here for that long.
* Out of Control. Old skool phrase from high school.
Thanks for visiting my blog -- sorry you're missing SD! Maybe it will make you feel better to know we live in a tiny house surrounded by 20-something guys. (yes, we live in PB)
So what are you getting your PhD in? And congrats!

Hi, Hilary!
Ahh...PB...it's always so wild down there! How do you manage with 2 little ones amongst the 20 year olds?
I'm getting my PhD in Psychology. I'm pretty excited about it, but also pretty overwhelmed by what it's going to take to make it through...
Anyway, thanks for stopping by! And yay! My first comment!
