it's been a month...

.. since i went back to work. i can't believe it. and we're all still standing! we seem to have settled into a loose routine where the mini and i get up early to head off to grandma and grandpa's house, then i drive to the office. i have to admit, i think about her all day, wondering what she's doing, if she's eating enough, and if she misses me. but the day goes by quickly, and then the husband goes to get her and we're all home again.

funnily enough, the first days weren't as bad as i anticipated. i've settled back in to work - it feels as if i never left! - and it is kind of nice to be able to sit down and not have someone hanging off my leg, trying to bite me or pull down my top. and the mini has been working on learning new things too - she has been using her sippy cup like a pro, LOVES ice cold water, and sometimes stands by herself. go figure!

lately though, things have been busy - we're waiting to move, we refinanced our mortgage, and the mini got baptized. i've barely enough time to think about new jewelry designs, but i'm hoping that once we move, i'll be able to have some good crafting time with my torch!
