What I was doing 10 years ago: working as a network administrator for a company that leased Peterbilt trucks (and other big rigs) and placing personal ads looking for my next boyfriend.

5 years ago: feeling completely upside down and working as an office manager, which was a made-up position and part of my manager’s plea to get me to stay with the company after I seemed to have gone kinda crazy (found out Aug 25 that I was 28 weeks pregnant and suddenly the craziness made sense – forever grateful to that boss bc otherwise I wouldn’t have had health insurance for my emergency c-section)


1 year ago: still grieving my miscarriage and trying to keep things together on the home front with my 2 young boys, while my husband worked an insane number of hours (80+/week . . . which he’s still doing actually)

Yesterday: shopped like a fiend because it was payday and we had some extra money to buy some extra goodies
