So should it be her brother?

Because my own life is less than interesting at the moment, and I don't have the energy for the rants I want to write out eventually, I am busy working on my novel. I've been working on this novel for about... oh... 4 years. I'm stuck. In chapter one. Basically, I need to decide if a long journey is going to be made with the heroine's long lost brother, or her long lost childhood playmate/romantic interest. Any votes? I'll post some of the story once I make my decision and you all can tear it apart or give me ideas or just tell me I'm awesome.

Uh.. I have no pictures of myself...

Anyone other new moms forget to take pictures of themselves? I'm drowning in a sea of cute baby pictures. Of course, to me a cute baby picture is pretty much anything Nikolai is doing (except screaming in the middle of night) or if Matt is cuddling with him.

What do I even look like? I never linger in front of a mirror anymore, and my days of wearing makeup more than once or twice a month are over. I'm lucky when I get to shower and brush my hair.

My plea is for someone to submit me to What Not To Wear so I can get some badly needed help. Am I allowed to submit myself?

Maybe my brain will relax now...

Ever stay up at night because so many things are running through your head that you feel like you're running a marathon and if you fall asleep you'll get hit by a car? And then you don't even burn any calories! You just lose sleep! And when your 9 month old baby wakes you up at least 3 times a night to nurse and cry and maybe play because his little mouth is all full of erupting teeth, that missed sleep is so very precious.
So I'm going to just send my thoughts out into the virtual world. I really don't care if you read it. :)
