    Day 4 of treating LinkedIn like my little bloggy blog.

    I wrote something up the other day and deleted it all. It was too much. Too open. I tried again, same thing. Depressing word vomit. Third time’s the charm?

    The gist of the story is that I wish I was more like Sebastian, my medically complex kiddo. And I sort of am. We are both hanging out on the sidelines, wishing we were in the game. At least we are moving forward, regardless of the pace. And forward is forward.

    His innocent little heart focuses on the positive. His smile is infectious and sincere. I wish I could smile through all the parts, too.

    Don’t get me wrong, Seb definitely has it harder. The kid is a champ. Yet the parallels are inevitable when we are both longing to be somewhere we can’t reach just yet. (insert short joke 🙃 )

    Well there you go. Maybe that was a bit much, too.

    Baby steps.

    Day 2 of treating LinkedIn like my blog. 🙂

    Thanks to the aforementioned snow, one of the twins woke me up a few minutes before my 3:30 alarm. Five milliliters of motrin and one breathing treatment later, I got started on Codewars practice.

    Motherhood has made me a morning person. A wee-hours-of-the-morning person. An everyone-is-asleep-for-at-least-2-more-hours person.

    Everything is quiet. And I can focus.
    Things I wish I had discovered a year ago. But here we are. 🙂

    (If you’ve been following on Twitter, I *just* took my Christmas tree down. It provided such wonderful “office” lighting. Luckily my sister hooked me up with some beautiful star lights I am going to hang soon!)
