Rejoining the Land of the Living

Let's be honest: I fell off the face of the earth. I've discovered that having a new baby, plus a toddler, plus an endless stream of guests followed by an impromptu pre-deployment trip to see family just does that to me. But things are starting to settle in again now. It helps that Tiny has been regularly sleeping through the night for a few weeks now, and that the spring cleaning was mostly finished while my sister was here, and that I'm actually starting to feel more like I'm purposefully living each day instead of just trying to survive until I can sleep again. So yes, here I am again. And I hope to be writing more regularly over the next few months. This is more of a possibility since I'm not having to take a nap every day. Just most days. So on the non-nap days, you may be graced by my presence.

In the meantime, I am here, enjoying my last few weeks with the Man before he heads off to training, cherishing every moment of him and the boys, tolerating the pets most days, and enjoying things like lemonade and wind-chimes and freshly cut grass. And that is all the current excitement. More to come, hopefully soon...
