I was going to do a “Wordless Wednesday” blog post this evening. But Wednesday’s basically over, and I don’t think it’s possible for me to be wordless. Although, I have to tell you, I’m way too exhausted to be writing right now. It’s only my second week into the new job at Today’s Parent, after five years of working at home. Second week in and I’m just loving working in this industry — with these totally nice, creative people. But, it’s obviously a massive adjustment for someone accustomed to working alone at Starbucks most mornings, with her evil friend, Chai Latte, or, you know, interacting solely with the under-5 crowd.

Did you see my first Today’s Parent article made it onto MSN (the lifestyle homepage no less)? All very exciting…, different…, new!

I’m also legitimately tired because poor Rascal’s not sleeping through the night, and he’s constantly clinging to me, saying, “I WAN YO, MAMA! I WAN YOOOOO!” It’s actually really, really hard right now….

Fortunately, I still get to spend a lot of time with him (and, in a way, more, since we get up 2 hours earlier, walk the dog together, feed ALL our animals, etc.), but I’m farther away part of the day — and he senses it. And I feel it in my heart when I’m sitting at my desk between emails, meetings, articles. It’s a major adjustment. But work keeps me good and distracted until we run into each others arms, and spend our special time together before we pick his sister up from school.

The Monkey, on the other hand, is adjusting very well to her mama’s new life — particularly my new work wardrobe…. She’s a cheaty little fashionista, that one!

Anyway, without further ado, I give you what WOULD have been a Wordless Wednesday post. (Even though it has a title.)

In honour of poor Betty White, who’s sleeping alone in a cage at the vet tonight because she was spayed earlier today — MISS! — I give you….

“UNDERBITE”

Have a great day!

Love!
