library mom: systematically cataloging all aspects of raising two babies at the same time

Work is a four letter word, most of the time

Exhaustion is now my official middle name. My apologies for being so absent in the bloggy world. Last week I went to Portland and Seattle for work. Most people think it sounds fun; traveling for your job. I used to, pre-babies. However, I can honestly say that I saw about 6 blocks worth of Portland and an equal number in Seattle. Most of my time is spent in planes, airports and hotels.

The majority of my days were at customer offices, and then when I got back to my hotel, I spent hours trying to catch up on the e-mail and various work-related bullshit that I missed. Bottom line: it's really not a lot of fun. And I end up working more on the road than a normal work day.

The only highlight of this trip was hanging out with my friend K. Numerous moments of excitment and squealing took place when she'd be waiting to pick me up outside my hotel.

And of course, coming home was the best thing ever; I was away for four days and the ladies sprouted even more hair! And wait till I show you the pictures of them *eating* rice cereal. Happiness is a warm fuzzy family.
