My Apologies…

I can only say that I am so sorry for being gone so long…and when I say gone, I mean, like, out of my mind…maybe a little post-partum, maybe just chaotically busy, maybe just, maybe just lazy, or tired, or procrastinating…maybe all of the above.  Anyhoo, as I’m sitting here in front of the monitor, fingers on the keyboard, I’m just now realizing how much I miss this. My thoughts flowing downs my arms, and exiting my fingers as they frantically try to transfer said thoughts through said keyboard, and into cyberspace.

It’s been crazy around here. Since I last updated, I have been vomited on (Church anniversary dinner, first new outfit since the pregnancy, and a two year old that seriously became sick the moment my butt hit the chair), that stomach flu circulated through my entire household, then another (with more cold-like symptoms) took it’s turn, my hard drive failed and had to be replaced (hence no photos today), we closed the sale of our property (some developer buying up our block), I’ve lost a ton of hair (could be the nursing, they’re running tests), I’ve cut off what remains on my head (first short haircut I’ve had since junior high), got a boundary exception for my son to transfer high schools (old school-boo! new school-yay!), his football season ended, volleyball season began (my oldest daughter), not to mention a nursing newborn (gentle giant) and a jealous two year old (tiny tornado).

I can elaborate further on these later. Right now, I’m about to try this Rogaine (Lord Jesus, please grow my hair back), brush my chops, wash my face, put on the wrinkle cream, and take my sexy butt to bed, lol…Goodnight Y’all.
