Saturday Nights...

It's Saturday Night...Do you know where your children are?!

I do...cause I'm home...like always! Rick is watching Youtube videos about computer data centers and I'm on the computer...because this is WAY more interesting than that! We're wild ya'll..watch out!!

Does time speed up when you are perusing the internet...or is it just me?!

The flame has been re-lit my friends! I am elbow deep in World Wide Web Gloriousness!!
At one point I closed the lap top, went to the kitchen, went to the bathroom...and then some how mysteriously ended up back on the computer! My back aches, my eyes are tired, and I know damn well that 6AM is fast approaching as sure as I am to find a little person magically(and Silently)appear in my bed. Avery doesn't even wake me anymore, I don't even feel her presence...she'd ask "can I just lay with you for one minute"..now she levitates like frickn' David Blaine! It's magic I tell you!!

Pinterest has me hunting like a crazy person to fill up my Boards.. to seek out inspiration! And I am...Inspired! Inspired to create, to cook, to bake, to dress, to organize.

I wish there was more time and that I had the un-procrastinate gene so I could do all the things I would love to do during a day...shit!.. during a week! ...were working on that! It's on my Pre-"New Years Res. List"

Ch Ch Ch Changes

Hello Friends and Family...it's been quite some time!


Where do I start?!...perhaps some bullet points might help!


-We Moved into the woods..It's a Deer!, it's a Raccoon...No! it's just a Wolf spider chillin' on your window sill! 
-Avery girl turned 4 years old
-Rick lost his job
-I went back to work
-I started a company
-Rick was out of work longer than we had anticipated
-Somebody wanted to Huuuurrrttttttt Somebody!!!!!
-Had some dark days
-Rick got a job!!! Yay!!!
-Halloween 
-Say what? It's November?!!!


Berkely is 17months...and a FIRE CRACKER!!!! It's in upper case because good God my girl it Sassy! My mom said..."How are you gonna be mouthy and you can't even talk." ..'bout sums it up! 
B is: Funny, Willful, Spirited, Smart, and Inquisitive and Cuddly.


Avery has settled into 4...I have gathered that a change happens at 4 years. This all knowing, all questioning, all opinionated person rises out of your child and all of a sudden you find yourself in court... Arguing your case, presenting evidence and having to seek council. Where is a gavel when you need one...Order In The Court!!!!! 
A is: Sweet, Energetic, Comical, Witty, Loving and one hell of a negotiator.


Word on the home front is good...better! Having all four of us home on a daily basis was...um.. nice. But boy am I glad things have changed. Rick is back to making bread and now the family is up everyday and out of the house by 8:30. I'm at work two days a week and another two days I am teaching sign language classes to infant and toddlers. We are BUSY! to say the least, but it is a welcomed change, and things are sure to get better as we settle into our new routine.


I was feeling like I needed a Session, sometimes life starts to become overwhelming and it's easy to lose track of your self as days turn into nights faster than you can blink and you look up months later and wonder where you fit in. I'm taking a moment to put it on paper. Maybe then I can slow down and take a moment for myself, rekindle my love of writing down the moments that make up the months.


I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life.
