I’m baaaaaack!  So I recently stumbled upon an old friend’s new blog her teenage sons encouraged her to start.  I clicked through it, enjoying her whit, her beautiful photos (she seriously a super model) & fun stories and immediately remembered how therapeutic it feels to share and to put good out into the world.  Once I’m comfortable on here I’ll post a link to her blog - with her permission obviously… SO I googled my old blog from 2011 (Google is seriously a way of life). Low and behold it’s still here!  Took me a few attempts at remembering the log in details, but I got back in.  Here I am. Hi.  It’s me!  Taking up more of your free time. So here’s what’s up with me and mine:

Tysie is missing from this pic! She was at another birthday party! 

Josh and I are still navigating this life together (thank God he’s stuck around this long – at least once a day I worry he’s going to dump me).  Our children are now 8, 7, 4 & 3!  We are seriously in the trenches of parenting little people right now.  It’s no joke.  Like when we just had 2 toddlers we thought it was hard. Pffff.  Cake walk compared to the shit storm we face daily.  Our kids really are amazing, but good God, every day I drop F bombs like a sailor and wonder how bad I’m screwing them up.  On top of both Josh and I working full-time each kid has at least one activity.  Dance, Volleyball, Soccer, etc.  Last weekend we had 5 soccer games, a volleyball game, 2 birthday parties, and a harvest carnival!  We even managed to carve pumpkins and have our own little backyard fun complete with s’mores, skinny-dipping (in late October!), and trampoline time.  That’s pretty much a normal weekend at this point in our lives and I LOVE IT!  I thrive in crazy busy.  

So my goal is to post once a week… I might get creative and follow a theme and a routine, but knowing my Sagittarius style I’ll probably be treating this like a diary. ; ) Join me, share with me in the comments!!
