Clearing the cobwebs

From my blog that is...


So, nearly FOUR months without an entry! Well, there is just no excuse for this mess.
Back on the grind. The following will contain random updates, things I've learned and probably a few lame jokes.

• The last week of May I took a trip with my kids back to SC. My baby sister graduated high school (tear), I spent quality and valuable time with loved ones. Two weeks turned into three before we even knew it. Man, it was nice being back in the country. The fresh air, farm animals, open fields everywhere. Honestly didn't realize how much I missed it. That being said, after three weeks of bouncing around to different family member's homes, I was eager to get back to my own! We came back home on Father's Day, and it was probably the best reunion ever. I hope I'm never gone from my husband for that long again.
• Family time is vital and important. Especially after you've just had a baby
• Jman and I have become addicted to the library. I can't get him to say it correctly for the life of me. I can only hope that he still isn't saying "lie-berry" in high school. Which brings me to my next bit of randomness.
• If it is nowhere near holiday time, do NOT watch Christmas movies with your three year old. It is August, and dude man won't stop telling everyone Merry Christmas.
• I've jumped on the eating right/exercising bandwagon. Well, I had a few days here and there where I slacked, but overall I'm on track. My endurance has proven to be a struggle. But, hey, what's that saying? Something like.."you're still lapping everyone who is on the couch".
• I've recently taken up a weekend job at a previous place of employment. I'm actually thrilled about this. I love the people there and who doesn't love extra money?! Plus, it gives me the chance to interact with other adults on a weekly basis!! (If you don't get why that is exciting, you probably aren't a parent.)

There are probably a hundred things that have happened, that would've inspired a great piece, but I'm just drawing a blank. My days all blend together. I should really look into getting a notebook. That way when I'm trying to maneuver those huge race-cart shopping buggies through Publix and I nearly slam into an old lady...I can write it down to blog about later. I'll go into depth about how it was near the bananas and probably drift off into talking about how damn expensive produce gets.

Or maybe, like my husband says, I'll start actually taking advantage of today's technology. Call me old fashioned, but I just like writing stuff down. (says the girl who loves to blog)
