Where has the time gone? I think of our little scrawny crying baby in China, and have behind me, chattering away, a healthy, happy, LOUD little girl who has a ton of fun and brings a ton of fun with her. Libby's hair has thickened and darkened considerably. She continues to grow upward, with no sign of outward, although Eric teases that she has a belly. Her vocabulary continues to grow. This morning she had a snack of apples, raisins and cheese. When she was done she said said she wanted more, and when I asked her, "more what", she replied, "more everything". It just cracked me up for some reason. I realize that in a short time, things like this will be so normal that all those little things that amaze will just be a part of who she is.
I am still not feeling well and am darn tired of it. I hear from so many people that whatever is going around lasts for weeks, and this appears to be the case. 6-8 inches of snow has not improved my mood, although it is pretty. What the heck did that groundhog say? Eric is coming home from work for a bit to give me a break. I don't know how those single moms do it. I guess that is what family and friends are for, but it must be hard. My hats off.
Am getting my hair cut and colored tomorrow. My natural red hair seems to have been infiltrated by some bizarre color I had not seen before. I also found that if you pull one of them, 10 more take its place, no lie! Not liking it one bit.

As a single mom, drag yourself out of bed, bring daughter to daycare, return home to sleep. Only problem is if you get sick on weekends! I agree about the weeks thing.. I am going on week 3. See you soon!
