Waiting

So some of you may or may not know that in my "work" life I work for the government.  I have been a happy government worker for 10 years this May.  That is until today. 
The threat of this ridiculous government is driving me crazy!!  I honestly don't care one way or another what happens I just want to know what is going to happen.  I am impatient.  I always have been.  I love the idea of an extra couple of days off, even if I don't get paid for them, but I hate the idea of not being able to plan for them.  I hate not knowing if I have to work all day Monday.  I just want to know and it is currently making me a crazy person.  I am stalking CNN.  I can't put my phone down because I am constantly checking the web.  I am beginning to feel like a lunatic. 
So bare with me in my crazed state.  I had planned to come on and post about something completely different but I can't think about anything else right now.  Furlough-cation here I come!

Oh wow!

Well I just saw that it has been just over a year since my last blog post.  That doesn't really make me a blogger, does it?  I had intended to start this blog so like a lot of bloggers could have a living history of my boys.  And, that didn't happen.  Life happened......

But I decided I would start writing again so that I don't go crazy.  The past year has been the hardest year of my life and I am still not fully recovered from that year.  I want to be though, and in all honesty don't have time to see a shrink so I am going to see if writing helps me get by without paying someone.   :  )




So I will fill you in really quick on what has been going on.  The boys are getting bigger than ever.  I am know the proud momma of a 10, 6 and 4 (soon to be 5) year old boys.  In the fall all of my kids will be in school, and I will be a big puddle of mush at the idea that I no longer have a baby (at least not one that I can convince that he is a baby).  I am in awe that my kids are going to be this big.  I certainly have not wrapped my head around it.

So in addition to the boys getting bigger, I also started a new business.  I have been a publisher for Macaroni Kid for almost a year.  I am at week 50!  Only 2 more weeks until I hit my 1 year anniversary.  It has been a wonderful experience and I am so proud to say I am part of the Macaroni Kid family!

In edition to those great things, the saddest day of my life also happened.  My best friend, Nicole, lost her battle with melanoma.  It happened so fast that I know that non of us were truly prepared for it, not that you can ever be but I can honestly say that even though I knew it was coming I was in no way prepared for what that meant.  I am still trying to figure out what it means and I am sure will share so much more here, because as I said I am to busy and to cheap to pay my money to a shrink (which would super piss Nicole off!)

So stay tuned folks, I promise to be back more often.  I am hoping to carve out at least a little time at least once a week to check in, but know me and how I operate there will probably be 10 posts in 5 days and then nothing for a little while until I find my groove.
