Back in the saddle again


Let's see if I fall off this horse.
So bad at blogging.
So busy at life.
I know it's not Halloween, but this little guy keeps me company all day, every day, all year.
Too much time wasted farming a virtual farm sitting on a way too big butt.
If I got off my arse and planted a real garden, my arse might not be so big.
Third grade has been fantastic. Living the GATE life is difficult. Way too hard to keep a kid engaged. Extra work to keep them challenged makes them feel they are being punished.
"Mom, I have no time to live".
Dude, just wait until you are a parent.
Contrary to what they believe, they have been living the life.
We all have.
We're so lucky to still have a home, jobs, health...
Mike hasn't worked since Thanksgiving, but he's still employed. Hopefully the next job will be coming up in March.
As a work at home mom, I will be needing to go in to the office once a week. It was like the end of the world when they announced to us telecommuters of this new plan. Until they did lay offs, and now we no longer complain.
Somehow, the bills are getting paid. The fridge is stocked. We still go play. Life goes on.
Hunter wrote his 1st letter of the year to Santa Claus.
Last year it was May, this year February.
I would be disappointed, but he also gave me $10.00 a couple days before to donate to the kids in Haiti with no homes.
AJ started Indoor Soccer this week. I'm looking forward to that.
My house is still standing, regardless of all the chemistry sets they received for Christmas.
We miss Sara everyday, and twice on Sundays.
Somedays it's hard to imagine how the world still turns.
As for me, I've had 3 Lego implants in my feet since the start of the year.
Good excuse to not walk or jog on the treadmill for a couple of days. Still working on the excuse for all the other days in between.
Now you're all caught up.
Peace - Out
