It's Been A While

Hello again. Remember me?

I know.

It's been a while since I've been around.

But I'm back now. At least I think I am.

Life has been crazy busy in my neck of the woods. We've had record flooding.

I participated in May 2011's LOAD (LayOut A Day) and managed to almost make it to the end. We started a new school year for five of the kids, changing curriculum to make life a little more manageable.

There was a seemingly never-ending stream of things breaking and needing repair. We took a couple of trips to Branson, visited grandparents, had a couple of big family get-togethers. And then there was the ER visit and a stay in the Pediatric ICU at Blair E. Batson's Children Hospital and a diagnosis of Type I Diabetes for my sweet four year old baby boy.

 I am really ready for life to slow down so we can get back to normal. But normal is never going to be quite the same again for us. But it will be do-able. And it will still be a good life, full of happiness, love and memorable moments, big and small.
