I know. I know. Why haven't I been posting? What's happened?
I am barely keeping it together for no good reason, just life, lots of stuff going on at once. That's it.
I LOVE blogging and have missed it enormously. I have tons of posts to write. SO many ideas in my head I can't think straight. The thoughts need to come out, soon! I will give you a quick summary of why things have been so busy. Then I will go on vacation. Then I will return and go back to blogging regularly. And hopefully you (and I) will be happy.
April is the second most busy month of the year for us. It closely reviles December in the amount of work and stress. It is all the spring stuff; the lawn, the garden, swapping out clothes, activities, etc. And it is also because of the two birthdays right in a row. We planned to have two spring babies and we did. Lucky us. It is a great time to have a birthday, but two at once is a lot of work. Every year I feel I do less but am more tired and overwhelmed. The best part is that it is over fast. Except for the thank-you notes, which I am traditionally putting off writing.
The entire month of April I tell myself that I will do this or that after the birthdays. By the time the party is over I am so spent that I can't really accomplish much. My dad's birthday and my father-in-law's birthday come a week later and then mother's day. More gatherings, more gifts. April stress spills into May. Add to that a wedding we attended last weekend, trying to finish my book for bookgroup (deadline was Tuesday), and getting ready for this trip and now you see what's been happening.
Of course there is all the regular house chores, volunteering at school, running and working out, bills to pay, shopping to do, baseball games, doctor appointments, OT for Scott, and so on.
No excuse really. Just the way things have played out.
See you back here soon. I'm looking forward to it.
Wow...I'm exhausted just from reading your post!
