Things I know to be true right now.

in no particular order:

Working from home is still work.

I Y Tivo.

Hot pursuit of the american dream is hampered by carrying two mortgages.

Parenthood is an awesome responsibility. (Obvious, I know... but -- holy shit! Nothing can prepare you...)

Nobody is banging on my door reminding me that I wanted to do something else with my career.

Recycling is not as easy as it looks.

Book clubs suck.

The most exhausting things in life - marriage, children, family, friendships - are also the most exhilirating.
