A friend of mine texted me yesterday morning to tell me that he’d gotten a bizarre friend request on Facebook. Someone with an Eastern European name (complete with different characters) had requested to add him as a friend, but it was MY face he saw attached to the name. I asked him to grab a screen shot and send it to me, and sure enough, there I was. As I racked my brain trying to figure out how this could have happened, I remembered my second Facebook account. A while ago I created a Facebook account for my I Heart My Shoes page, so that I could still access it…

I’ve had a number of people ask me what I’m doing today. You see, today was the first day back to school in my board. This is usually my crazy time for job and day care interviews. It’s a season of hustle and bustle that is usually pretty stressful… so this year I decided to take another route. I’ve been hemming and hawing over what to do for months.

Well, it happened. I had my first major “This is so hard” moment on Saturday morning and I let it all out. Don’t get me wrong, there have been many, many hard moments since Prince Will’s birth, but I’ve been trying really hard to keep my focus on all the good things that have happened in our family since we grew from four to five. And really, there is so much good. He is the sweetest little boy and I love seeing Ruby and Hank love him as older siblings.
