Hi. It's been a while. Sorry. Life has been crazy. It isn't slowing down anytime soon...but my SS is insisting on a blog so this one's for her. I should be cleaning my house. Clean houses are overrated.
What have I been up to you ask, these past couple months that I left you in silence? Let's see...first date, second date, lots of dates, double dates, birthday dinners, watching races, weekend getaways, Chelsea Handler for my birthday!!!!, track meets, work (of course), catching up with old friends, welcoming new friends, meeting kids, sunbathing, making plans, juggling & balancing & figuring out how it will all work out...oh & trying to let it all happen naturally without over-analyzing or worrying about things beyond our control.
So the house is a mess, some of the paperwork is getting a little behind, but it will get caught up soon enough. There is food in the house, the bills are paid, the laundry is washed & dried. We are coming into the time of year when we pack, leave, have fun, come home, unpack, maybe wash some clothes, and start all over a few days later. Ahhhh summertime! I think this one is more action packed than ever if that's even imaginable! There are races, several 1st birthday parties, a wedding, camping, a reception...the weekends are almost all full & I don't even know when the fishing trips are yet!!!
This past week we double dated, celebrated Mother's Day, went to Sunday Market & brunch, had dinner with friends, had a birthday dinner with more friends and that covers Saturday - Tuesday. Friday night it's off to the cabin. It'll be quiet, no cell phones, no TV, just quiet. Time to relax. Time to slow it down for a minute. I can't wait to walk into that cabin Friday night & for a minute it'll smell like Daddy Dearest. When I walk through the door it will be like he's still there & it hasn't been 7.5 years already. It will be the same & then it will be different because this time there will be someone seeing it all for the first time. Making new memories. It will be amazing.
It's all new, everything changes, and it is all as it should be. The timing is right or the stars aligned or something because suddenly it all fell into place...it looks crazy & hectic, there's more going on than ever before, and yet at the end of the day, it is just right.
