Sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder.  So…did you miss me?

I have to admit something.  I was not just too busy with life since the summer to write.  I was so busy with life that I actually forgot about writing.  I have been too distracted and utterly exhausted to even think about being creative.  That. Is. Sad.  I have been sad.  This winter took a dramatic turn for the worse in early December and there really hasn’t been much improvement since 2015 arrived. But, I’m not giving up hope.

I really didn’t have anything in mind when I sat down to type today.  There are so many things that I could and should, and will write about, when the time is right.  Today, I just want to haphazardly let my fingers dance and skip across the keyboard. I miss the click, click click of the keys as letters pop up before my eyes.  I miss reading and re-reading my sentences while my mind wanders to the expanding mound of laundry in the basement, why my two clamorous children are as silent as I am when I sneak into the bathroom so they don’t hear me, and to the ever maddening question of “what’s for dinner?”

There are a few other things on my mind:

1) I. HATE. SNOW!!!! It was fun and pretty, but now it is the bane of my existence.  I haven’t been to work in over a week because of the copious amounts that have fallen, and tonight 12-16 more inches of that shit is going to fall.

2) I will be 39 in 109 days.  This needs to be my year.  I NEED to focus on getting healthy and staying healthy. I do not want to be a frumpy 40 year old.

3) My kids are growing much faster than I’d like.  I am still working on yelling/cleaning/obsessing less and just letting them be kids more.

4) And last but not least…. GO PATS!!!!!
