Hello, world! It’s been a while…. too long since I posted. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
Christmas in Florida with mom and dad. Our whole family was together and it was AMAZING!
We brought Mom back from Florida with us. We crammed as much special as we could into her visit!
School started again. I’m running study hall and a social studies project!
MARDI GRAS!! My sister and her kids visited for the first weekend of Mardi Gras. It was EPIC!!
A costume party was attended by this really groovy couple…
My baby turned three. I now have a fifteen year-old, a ten year-old and a three year-old. Blessings upon blessings upon blessings!!! Heaped upon my head (literally!)
Fat Tuesday came and went. We celebrated in the rain and went home and took a nap.
I have a quote taped to my desk that says “We feel inadequate because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.”
So. True.
Above you’ve seen the highlight reel. The behind-the-scenes would reveal some pretty intense stress, an emotional breakdown or two, a few lessons learned, and no small number of mistakes made. Ever seen that episode of “I Love Lucy” where Lucy and Ethel work on the assembly line at the candy factory? If not, check it out here. And THAT’s the way the last several weeks have REALLY been!
So nope… not a single New Year’s resolution. Not a solitary Christmas musing. Super Bowl was held in my town and I said nothing. Silence about the Mardi Gras season in its entirety. I may not have found a moment to chronicle them here or write profound words about them… but I DID live them! So I’m back and perhaps better for the crazy rush of the last 8 weeks.
Happy ChristmaNewYearMardiSuperBowlGrasBirthdayValentineBeginningofLent to you all!!! Hope your parties were fun, your joys were many, your sadnesses were lessened, and your lives enriched. Ours certainly were! More to come…
