I am home with four kids - two girls, two boys - ages 14, 6, 5 and 3 (and when I started this blog, just a little over two years ago, I had an infant, a 2yr old, 3yr old and 12yr old - feels like a lifetime ago, but it wasn't ;-). Until about four or five years ago, I worked in marketing. I have been and done many things - dancer, magazine "multi-tasker", advertising copywriter, gymnastics coach, resort town waitress, grad student, etc. Now my areas of expertise are different and diverse. I am savvy, efficient, patient and earthy (like it or not). I am a better cook, an Ok herb gardener, an impressive artist to my kids, an active and prolific photographer, a childrens' clothing stylist (in my head), a manager of all things "household" and a news enthusiast (from politics to celebrity). I am more cynical though less of a worrier / hypochondriac than I used to be. I am increasingly proud of what I do with kids, family and home, but I do still present myself as a "freelance writer".
Today, I'm remembering my Dad. It was three years ago today that he died. Right now, it's all sadness - even the happy memories make me cry. I'm thinking of my family, and I'm thinking of others who have lost loved ones.

I'm sorry you're feeling sad. Three years isn't so long ago - still a fresh loss, really. I read a few other entries (finally!) and hope you all had fun watching the Steelers. Patrick was more into it this year than he has been in a long time. He's feeling some new affection for Pittsburgh, I think in part related to his aging parents... I'd like to think your Dad has an inkling there was another big win recently... Take care!
