All I can hear is silence. It's not comfortable. It's actually a bit terrifying.
A day in the life of a new mom in northern california... dealing with sleep issues, food issues, sheer boredom, play groups, hot babysitters, mommy friends, single friends, feeling fat, being fat, drinking wine, drinking margaritas, learning how to cook, learning how to clean, exercising - sporadically, practicing patience, practicing letting go - of everything, and basically learning how to do the hardest job out there - being a Mom.

What to do with myself....??
It's 9:21pm. Kevin's out at a hockey game. I'm home alone. All the babies are asleep (baby and pets), I've had my vino, my dinner and my 3 cookies. And the silence is nearly paralyzing. I used to relish in these moments (pre-baby), and in the heat of my life I live today - I only fantasize about this peace and quiet. But it's here and now and I don't know what to do with myself! Is this normal? What's happened to me!?
