TwinMosaic: October 2007
http://twinmosaic.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 17, 2007. Got the MRI results and my brain is totally normal, at least structurally.yea! No brain tumor for me! Thought I'd share this amazing sunset picture from our family vacation as a way to celebrate. It sure was pretty. I'm ready to go back there now! And my kids and I did get our parrots and sugar cane memories and then some. Posted by at 3:16 PM. Monday, October 15, 2007. But here I am. So I am just trying to get my bearings on a day-to-day basis. And part of my bearing...For a...

TwinMosaic: April 2007
http://twinmosaic.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 08, 2007. So I read this article this morning in our newspaper about a new book called. And for some reason it just really raised my hackles. The author, Leslie Bennetts, is a journalist. And essentially what she does is boil the entire subject of whether to stay home with your kids or not down to economics. Which, in my opinion, is not only incredibly short-sighted, but ultimately, trivial in the larger scheme of things. Posted by at 6:00 PM. Lion of the NorthWest. Oh, the Memories.

TwinMosaic: February 2007
http://twinmosaic.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 19, 2007. Taking it all in stride. So, there is life after (insert name of totally damaging and toxic former work place here). I realized today that there was definitely life before and there is increasingly life after, it was the in between that was in question. It was the soul sucking tenure I had there that made me question everything. Of course who that is morphs on a daily basis, I’m worse than my kids most days. ‘Tis the gift of a Gemini I suppose. I must sound bitter. I guess ...

TwinMosaic: June 2007
http://twinmosaic.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 21, 2007. Way of the Chameleon. My mom and dad are the same way. They can all start and maintain totally normal and entertaining conversations with random people. Then walk away knowing someone new. It was exhausting. Utterly and completely exhausting. Still is. And I burst into tears. Am still bursting as I write this as a matter of fact. I so desperately want my children to have an easier childhood than I did. But I don’t know how to give that to them. Do I shelter them? Oh, the Memories.

TwinMosaic: August 2007
http://twinmosaic.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 31, 2007. It's a Fat Girl's Name. What kind of name is Clair? It’s a family name. It’s a fat girl’s name. - The Breakfast Club. This subject is acutely painful for me to write about. I have internalized and emotionalized my weight and looks to the degree that it actually makes me scooch around in my seat uncomfortably. I cannot, will not, say how much I weigh or my size out loud. To anyone. Ever. Posted by at 7:59 AM. Friday, August 24, 2007. I desperately want my family to have fun on our...

TwinMosaic: July 2007
http://twinmosaic.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Ok, so here’s a little stream of consciousness writing for you. As I can’t really make myself pick a topic and then come up with anything remotely witty or interesting to say about that topic. Would I feel in control of my life? Would I be able to pay all my bills and take my family out to dinner comfortably without having to put one or the other on a credit card? Would I go to bed earlier? Would I finally be what I want to be when I grow up? What’s up with that? I want so badly...

Wednesday, November 08, 2006. Born From One, Two Follow. Hello We are three. Posted by at 3:21 PM. Lion of the NorthWest. Oh, the Memories. Whats there to be written. Thats what a 67 wingspan will get you! A Rant for the Sake of Nostalgia. The Thrill of Discovery. Everything Ive learned, I learned while hopelessl. And more with the next. Shifting Stars, and Other Such Subtly Changing Patterns. Tiled eyes see colors at the edges.

TwinMosaic: March 2007
http://twinmosaic.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 16, 2007. The Angel and The Auditor. I feel like I have two beings sitting on my shoulders. Each telling me what to do, what not to do, what to think, what to absolutely the hell not think. But instead of them being the typical angle/devil duo, it’s almost like I’ve got an angel on one shoulder and a tax auditor on the other. So, here I am 8 years into a career that I hit the top rung of before turning 30 and realizing that this career makes me miserable. That I really don’t like what I...

TwinMosaic: May 2007
http://twinmosaic.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 20, 2007. It wasn’t too cold that night, but cool enough that I had to cuddle in between the two dogs to stay warm. I slept fitfully, thinking that my parents would surely come look for me. Morning came and my dad came out the back door to let the dogs in, looked at me and said What are you doing out here? I came back in the house and that was it. No one ever talked about how I had just slept outside with the dogs. I picked him up and took him into his bed to continue sleeping. The whole ...
