She's...Back

I'm sitting at the computer screen trying not to listen to my 5 month old screaming her head off in her infant seat. Poor baby, but at this point, there's nothing else I can do for her. She is so tired - she has to fall asleep! I just came from our weekly lifegroup meeting, where I led a discussion on the first two commandments and how sometimes, we can keep commandment #1 (worship the Lord your God and serve Him only) while violating #2 (don't set up for yourself an image - don't worship idols)...and here I am, ready to call it a day, ready to be done with my parenting responsibilities, and totally indulging myself (to decompress and pamper myself) with Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. That's right...sigh. I love the nighttime - the time when Erin The Mommy disappears and Erin The Woman gets to come out. Don't get me wrong - I really have been having a good time with my kids. In fact, the other day, I was like "WELL, I just don't even have anything to post on my blog these days because things are going so well and I am so on top of things!" AND...here I am. Back to being desperate and needy.
