Better Together: First Steps
http://bettertogetherinca.blogspot.com/2012/11/first-steps.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Flights were ridiculously cheap this week (are those usually part of Cyber Monday sales? So we booked a flight to visit our friends that moved to Seattle. These are the friends we visited back in March. Whenever I start doubting whether we would actually be able to enjoy living somewhere because of the weather, I catch myself and feel crazy because there are tons of people who live in each of these places that love it and if they can be happy in that city, why couldn't we?

Better Together: April 2012
http://bettertogetherinca.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. Where just being with him for 30 minutes is completely exhausting. The slightest provocation (or none at all) will make him burst into tears and/or saying lots of "NO! And/or throwing toys or half-heartedly attempting to hit us. Every day, we do this dance where he talks about how he wants to be a baby, and I say, fine, then you have to wear diapers and eat baby food. Do you like baby food? Links to this post.

Better Together: July 2012
http://bettertogetherinca.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 1, 2012. Continuing my pattern of only ever posting to complain about work. I just finished a week where I billed 92 hours. I billed 933 hours since March 1st. Let me tell you, I'm not enjoying this. Sleeping 3 hours a night, never seeing your husband and kids, skipping meals because you're too busy to eat, feeling your body ache from sitting so much. None of this is normal, and yet it has become my norm. My assigned mentor when I started at the firm (who just became a partner last year) tol...

Better Together: Closing that Chapter
http://bettertogetherinca.blogspot.com/2014/04/closing-that-chapter.html
Friday, April 25, 2014. It's obviously been a long time since I posted anything and even longer since I posted regularly. I got busy, ran out of things to say and, for a long time, couldn't publish things I needed/wanted to say. I am sure no one actually comes to this little space of the internet anymore but I wanted to provide a little closure to this journal that I started 6 years ago. I obviously wasn't happy at the firm, so why was I so worried that I might never do that again? May 1, 2014 at 9:32 PM.

Better Together: March 2012
http://bettertogetherinca.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 24, 2012. My batteries are in desperate need of a re-charge. Usually, the mental lists keep me up at night and in the moments where I am falling asleep, I am categorizing my to-dos and prioritizing the urgent tasks I need to accomplish. Right now, I'm so absent from my life that I don't even really know what the to-dos are. Meanwhile, the kids are doing very well. Timmy has his second swim lesson tomorrow and Ellie has her first!
