It’s time to do a little housekeeping, but I guess it would be more appropriate to call it blogkeeping.
As many of you know, I am about to have another baby. I’ve got about 3 weeks left, but it’s not like babies follow any schedule other than their own. I’ve been getting my house in order and now it’s time to get my blog in order.
I assume this child of mine will want my attention, which means that some attention will be diverted from blogging. I’m not going away, but I am setting myself up for semi-maternity leave.
Here’s what will be happening in the coming weeks:
Sundays In My City will continue to post as usual. I have scheduled enough posts to go through March and by then I should have my wits about me enough to start taking new pictures to share.
Fragmented Fridays will continue, but may be very brief posts that just keep you updated on what is going on in my life and brain.
I Comment Therefore I Am, which I do on Mondays, will be discontinued until I am back in the swing of blogging and commenting. Unless, I happen to leave or get an interesting comment then I will go ahead and post, but it will be more of an irregular feature than a regular one until further notice.
I have the kind of brain that does not stop so I’m sure that I will also post as inspiration strikes, but I suspect that sleep deprivation and exhaustion will get in the way.
I am excited about becoming a mami for the second time, but I am also aware that it is going to be tough. Although, I am a mami/mommy I have never considered this to be a “Mommy Blog”. This blog is an extension of me, part of me is a mami, but I am also a woman, a Latina, a wife, a sometimes actor, a frequent pain in the a$$, a humorist. Plain and simple: I am a blogger and I blog about whatever strikes my fancy.
UnknownMami.com has grown to be so much more than I ever expected. I can not imagine leaving it, nor you behind. You and this space have provided me with support, a creative outlet, laughter, camaraderie, growth, and so much more. Thank you! I love being here, I love you visiting here, I love visiting with you. Please continue to stop by and visit. I’ll miss you terribly if you don’t.

Sometimes reality is funnier than parody. You know, when you look at something and you think, “Is this for real? This has got to be a joke!” But the joke is that it is not a joke. I’m sure many of you have seen this before and I know that parodies of it have been done, but all I have to do is watch the original to get a chuckle.
and just in case you can’t figure out why this is funny, here is one of the parodies…
Like I said, not as funny as the original.
I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a dreadful week. The whole family has been sick and I, in particular, am a mess. I’ve spent the worst moments reminding myself that this too shall pass and you know what? It will pass; it is passing. Slowly we are getting healthy and soon this will all just be a memory.
It’s official, I’ve stopped working outside the home for the rest of this pregnancy. I was only working two days a week and hoping to keep it up as long as possible, but my body is telling me it’s time to stop and I’ve decided to listen. Not to mention, I still have a lot to get done before the baby comes.
And now your Friday Fortune Cookie (don’t forget to add “in bed” at the end, if you are so inclined):
Ideas are like children; there are none so wonderful as your own.
Please excuse Unknown Mami’s absence for the next few days. She is not feeling well. It started off with the whole family coming down with the stomach flu. Now, that she is recovering from that, she has caught a cold. Throw in a few panic attacks just for fun and you can imagine that she is just not her normal witty self.
She is now 36 weeks pregnant and went to the doctor for a checkup. Although, she has not been feeling well and not eating much, the baby girl in her tummy has plenty of fluid and seems to be doing just fine.
Thank you,
Unknown Mami in the third person
P.S. Normally, Unknown Mami posts “I Comment Therefore I Am” on Mondays. This week she wasn’t up to it, but her buddy gaelikaa posted. Click on the link and give her a visit, won’t you?

It’s been a rough week. I won’t give you a play by play, but one of the highlights was being vomited on multiple times Wednesday night. Good times. My daughter, Put Pie, ate something that did not agree with her and the whole night was spent trying to sooth her, taking showers, and doing laundry. [...]
I have panic disorder, which means I sometimes get panic attacks. Panic attacks simply suck. They do not help me function in life or increase the quality of my life. I was in my 20′s when I had my first panic attack, but I had no idea that’s what was going on. I was at [...]

Awhile back, I wished for more female friends in my life. My life was lacking in female companionship. Well, the Universe must have been listening because I now feel surrounded and supported by wonderful women in my life. It’s not even that I made any new friends, it’s that I have been lucky enough to [...]
