A Mother of two living, eating, cooking and writing as a Foreign Service Trailing Spouse. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. We made it. It wasn't easy, but we did it. And somehow, against all odds, it's 7AM and the kids and dogs are still sleeping. Stefan is in the shower, getting ready for work and it's almost like nothing has changed. Almost.

A Mother of two living, eating, cooking and writing as a Foreign Service Trailing Spouse. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Warning: this post is a bit gloomy and bordering on "a little too personal to share on the Internet," but I have reached a point where I feel like I need to reach out beyond my immediate community, for my sake (catharsis) and my mother's (maybe someone out there has a new idea).
