Blog? What's that? Oh, you mean this thing? Ohhhhh yeah! About that...
Yeah....this blog has been pretty neglected this year. It's a sad thing, and sometimes I miss making regular updates, but I seriously just haven't had the time or motivation to sit down and write. My monthly updates on Ezra are quite time intensive (they often take a good couple of hours since I am usually interrupted), and somehow I just haven't been feeling terribly inspired. I suppose I've had a fairly long list of other pursuits that have been keeping me plenty busy on top of the severe lack of sleep that Ezra has gifted us with. Thank heavens we're finally digging ourselves out of that fog (knock on wood that it lasts!).
At the very top of the Busy List is our impending move back to IL! Next weekend, Ezra and I are going back for a short trip to do some house hunting and will hopefully be coming back to WA with a signed lease. Once we secure housing, we'll be able to schedule the rest of the big items - flying the boys and me home, B and company driving the cars and cats back, and getting the movers on the calendar. Oh, and of course planning our going away shindig! I can't believe how quickly the time is coming for us to be moving back! I am VERY excited but a little nervous too. Nothing like major changes to keep you awake and thinking in the wee hours. :)
I've also been keeping busy with a few hours of contract work I've picked up. A lot of my formerly free time for the computer is now getting devoted to that work. It's really the ideal arrangement - I work when I can and I don't have to worry about compromising much of my time with the boys. I couldn't have asked for a better situation!
And of course, running a household and taking care of the boys is where I spend the most of my time. I don't often have time to myself during the day as someone is usually awake and in need of attention. I'm not complaining, but it has been a shift (and a challenge) in finding time to get things more leisurely activities done. I've also been keeping busy with baking and a new passion - couponing. Add some organizational and crafty projects to the list and you can see that doesn't leave much room for blogging and email. Like I said, I do miss it. I miss chronicling what goes on in our lives and sharing that with all of you too. I have all these pictures and videos I'd love to post, but they've been getting chucked into the backlog or squeezed into some of Ezra's regular updates. Or posted to Facebook - that's an easy one to just throw stuff up on.
Well, the whole point of my sitting down and doing a little updating was to get some of these backlogged posts up and running. So enjoy! I've missed putting up these entries, and I hope to get a little better about future updates.
