it's been a long time....

Over six months. Yikes. I'm terrible at this. So much has been going on I don't even know where to begin! The last six months seem like a blur to me. I'm sitting here trying to remember what all we've done and the only thing that stands out is that we moved last month. I think I've lost all my memory skills. I really cannot remember one thing. You really do lose brain cells with each child.

Speaking of children, mine are doing great! They just started back to school today and only a few tears were shed (by me, of course), so all in all, it was a successful day.

I promise, again, to get better at being more consistent but for now, I'll just ask that if you're reading this, you'll say a prayer for my brother in law, Bram and his family. Bram is 43 and suffered a stroke last week. He is in rehab, but has a long road ahead of him.

Thanks. Peace.

just updating...

nothing is going on. no news to report. Sorry.

sick and sicker...

So the past week has been nothing but illness in our household. Fun, fun, fun. Especially when I'm working a new(er) job and really shouldn't be missing so much work. But, you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Last week, Princess K had tonsillitis, Little Prince had sinus infection followed by NASTY cough and now I have some nasty virus that the doc says will linger for about two weeks. It starts with sinus congestion and pressure, combines some coughing and follows up with diarrhea. Fun, huh? So, I've missed work the past three days, am going stir crazy and am sick of laying around. Going in tomorrow, no matter what.

Anyways, enough of that, how have you all been???????

happy new year....

Yes, I know! We're already almost to the half way point for January 2009 - I can't believe it! Time sure is flying; but, so far, 2009 is giving me no complaints (knock wood).

Things at work are busy, which I am enjoying (as much as work can be enjoyed) and everyone in the house is healthy.

As for my mental state, things are going really well. I'm feeling VERY normal and even starting to feel a little bit of my creativity coming back. We shall see what lies ahead.

The kids are doing great. Excited to be back at school after a two week vacation. I am amazed every day at the things they say and the new things they're learning. Love them so much.

Well, that's all I've got to say right now, but I'll be back sooner next time. I promise.

update to the war in my brain...

Things are much better for me. I am continuing with my therapy and it seems to be working, the only drawback, that I've noticed is that I just don't "feel" creative anymore, but I think maybe I'm just making excuses. Anyways, thank you all for your prayers and your kind words of encouragement. I truly do appreciate them all!!
