My lovely husband and I live in the Maryland suburbs of DC,
where I work for The Government and he works for one of those organizations
that tries to influence The Government. We have three children: six- and
four-year-old daughters, and a sweet two-year-old son. I take our younger two little loves with me
to work where they spend their days in a childcare program tucked gently into
the same building where I spend my quietest eight hours; while our eldest has
recently abandoned us for the wilds of kindergarten, and now, first grade. I have the best of both
worlds: a strong career and a wonderful, nearby, rambunctious family. That
work-life balance thing? Ohhh, yeah.
I'm learning how to sew. I read avidly, write compulsively, and am happiest when my plans exceed my hours in a day. I believe in wishing on first stars and dandelion puffs;
that clean laundry is not over-rated but folded and put-away laundry is; that
the glass really is half full; and that imagination can never be too nurtured.
I have a station wagon filled with living proof. Let’s just not discuss that
the metaphorical half-full glass is actually really a juice box, and that
sometimes it gets squirted all over the rear-view mirror (and the back of my
head).

Very occasionally, when my four loves are sleeping and I disregard the toys, the clothing mountain, the dishes, the email, and the reports I'll be writing tomorrow...(shhhh)...(don't tell)...I do sit still. Just for a moment.
