What I have found very cool, though, is thePersonal DNA test.

So many distinct moments this week have dictated that I actually sit and write something down, but usually this happens while I am a) at work and frantic or b) playing Legos on the floor with A. My interesting predicament at present is not getting into the mode of writing again as I expected, but rather, creating an http://www.consufed.com/rachel/2006/07/its-so-telling-to-me-that-i-have.htmlrachelhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3616599/posts/summary/115380164192170367Tue, 25 Jul 2006 02:26:00 +00002006-07-24T23:27:21.966-05:00Jaded and played out-- that's what this blog has been for quite awhile. I feel major overhauls are needed, and for the first time in years, have half a mind to do something about it. The last few weeks the tiny part of my brain that has to create has started a growth spurt. I haven't felt like this in years, and while I don't know what will happen with this, it's a thrill. So, wonderful design http://www.consufed.com/rachel/2006/07/jaded-and-played-out-thats-what-this.htmlrachelhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3616599/posts/summary/113657554092957252Fri, 06 Jan 2006 19:23:00 +00002006-01-06T13:25:40.936-06:00I have been busy. That's all-- not gone or hiding, or non-disclosing. Just really busy. When I was much younger than now, this song meant a lot to me-- I listened to it again today, and you know what? It still does.

Sleep is such a commodity--I think about it at work, in the car--I even dream of it. Sad, I'm sure, but true. Not that I can really complain; in the baby world, little A is a pretty good sleeper. In fact, the last 3 nights there has been no middle of the night feeding--and sleeping 6 or 7 hours straight is just the most wonderful thing ever. http://www.consufed.com/rachel/2004/07/its-cliche-but-i-have-just-been-too.htmlrachelhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3616599/posts/summary/108731907663828610Tue, 15 Jun 2004 16:58:10 +00002004-06-15T12:11:10.140-05:00Many moons later. Words haven't come easily to me lately, not because I don't have anything to say, but because of the magnitude of what I wish to express. Pregnancy was an amazing thing-- and lucky for me, it was pretty easy-- but it's nothing compared to what the last 10 weeks have been like. There have been days I have been stretched way past my breaking points, and days when I think motheringhttp://www.consufed.com/rachel/2004/06/many-moons-later.htmlrachelhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/3616599/posts/summary/107651296831525826Wed, 11 Feb 2004 15:22:48 +00002004-02-11T09:28:52.000-06:00oh, it's been, what, 4 months or so now... not that things haven't been hopping, but rather that i haven't really hopped them over here. life is exciting when there are new things on the horizon, but what i haven't quite figured out yet is how to handle all the excitement. a poem for me, for you, too-- this one makes me remember to take breathe deeply, and be glad.

And here I am. The last month has brought so much--there were trips, there was work craziness, there was packing, closing on the house, and then a disastrous move. That last element was the hardest, as we'd set out with such good intentions--we only hired a moving company to make things easier, and instead, it was so much http://www.consufed.com/rachel/2003/07/almost-two-months-later-and-lifetime.htmlrachel
