Absence makes the heart...wait, what was I saying?

I miss blogging.  But then again, there are lots of things I miss these days.  Here is a brief, albeit incomplete list.

1) Maternity pants.  Ok, ok, I know I spent a large portion of previous posts bitching about maternity pants, but being in that weird post-baby "maternity pants are too big and regular pants are squishing me into uncomfortable and unnatural shapes" phase makes me long for the days of a full belly panel.

2) Sleep.  I am amazed daily at how well I function at 80%.  And when I say how 'well' I function, I mean that my clothes and those of my family are relatively clean, that I remember to buckle the  baby into the carseat before driving the car, and that my teeth get brushed 1.5 times a day ( really, the bedtime oral hygiene routine needs some work).

3) Privacy in any shape or form.  We have one bathroom, two adults, and one potty training toddler.  I may never pee alone again.

4) My sanity.  I realize that becoming a parent once made me nuts, but twice has made me clinically insane.

5) Adult television.  I don't mean XXX boom-chica-wow-wow adult television.  I mean anything that isn't animated, on Nickelodeon, or in any way affiliated with Disney. I want to watch an entire marathon of "The Real Housewives of Orange County". Then I want to pee all by myself and take a nap in stretchy pants.
