It's Been Awhile

I have a whole lot to say and nothing to write. Hrmph. This summer went by way too quickly. We went to the beach which in itself is pretty awesome since we hadn't gone for more than a day trip in 4 years and I NEED my beach. But let me put it out there, vacation with a Bubbie is NOT a vacation. It is real life in a different location with a sleep deprived toddler. I am grateful that we got to go, I am thankful that we got to go, but I'm being honest. My child is a handful. There is no laying on the beach relaxing with him. It was chasing him up and down the waters edge trying to make sure he doesn't drown...or steal any more balls. Yes, he was the theif. Sorry. At least he is cute! Hey, we live in America, if you look good you can get away with anything. :)  When we got home from vacation we were thrown into the world of a sick dog. There is nothing as degrading as having to collect a urine sample from a dog. My neighbors must think I'm crazy. It's fine...I am. Once Mr. B got healthy, we were able to celebrate our anniversary and had the privilege of coming home to fleas. SERIOUSLY! After wiping out Petco's complete supply of flea bombs, powders, sprays, and drops we got that situation under control. Dude had 2 weeks of swimming lessons, which apparently swimming is his talent, followed by a week of VBS and now school is back in session. I thought this week would be my down week. You know, YES big kid is in school, just me and the Bubbie, I can finally sit and relax. But there is no relaxing. Our coffee maker and dryer both died (well, the coffee maker was murdered but whatever). Two extra trips to Target, a trip to the appliance store, and a couple of hurricane aftermath shifts, I am pooped. Not to mention the affect school has had on the little brother. Since school started, he has started waking up at night and needing to be held. And he really doesn't like that I have to leave for work. Seperation anxiety at it's finest.



That post was a draft I just found from the very end of August beginning of September. I am not sure why I didn't finish or publish it. ADD at it's finest my friends! Apparently, my life is one big blur of exhaustion, mishaps, tears, and laughter. Because believe me, I have the most incredible talent of crying with the best of them. Typically, my tears wind up in laughter...either because my children feel the need to comfort their poor sad mama, or my husband makes a joke out of how quite ridiculous I am. I'm an emotional person and I feel deeply, I love deeply, I hurt deeply. It's me. It's always been me. I don't let my emotions rule me but I definitely do feel everything to the core. Something I work on yet am told is admirable. I've been told I'm loyal to a fault. That's ok. I'd rather be loyal than disloyal. I have certainly learned who to be loyal to over the years though! Sorry for the tangent, but, it's my blog and I can go into as many as I want. :)
