It’s been a long time…

What can I say?  I’ve been in survival mode and something had to give.  Giving up blogging gave me more time and my presence was needed here, in my home.  Whether I wanted to be ‘here’ or not!  And believe me, I’d have rather been somewhere else.  Somewhere quiet, sipping Chai tea, or heaven-forbid…an adult drink. 

Maybe I’d be wearing an outfit that actually flattered me (beyond jeans and an old t-shirt) or wear a bit of jewelry.  I do have jewelry, it just isn’t worn very often because I’m afraid it’ll get ripped off my neck or out of my ears.  At some point in the last few months, I decided I didn’t care if the jewelry was broken.  What good is the jewelry sitting in my drawer?  It’s meant to be worn and I plan to enjoy wearing it as long as it lasts.

Today, I scheduled a haircut.  Pretty sad that I cannot remember the last time I had my hair cut.  I can remember my last confession better; that’s a good thing, right?

So, what’s giving me the time to give a little of my time to blogging today?  One less child in school helps, the baby is older, we’re over the sickness that’s been going through the children, it’s a New Year, I’m feeling like I have something to share or give.  For the longest time, I didn’t FEEL like I had anything I could possibly give.  There just wasn’t anything there at the beginning of the day, much less at the end.

Not sure how regular I’ll be on posting, but I’m still here.  Today there is hope and I’m feeling a little more like the ‘normal’ me.
