So it seems like I fell off the face of this Earth, when in reality I started watching both kids full time, which means there is only 1 hour in the day for me, if I’m lucky before bed and I’ve been using that to either catch up on email, spend time with my husband, attempt to exercise or read a book.  It goes by really fast and there isn’t much room for multiple accomplishments in that hour.  I know, this seems like a lame ass excuse and if you want you can think that, but in reality, it’s my life…take it or leave it.

Okay, so the last month has been a complete blur, but if you want to know the highlights…well, here it goes.

1. Everyone got the stomach flu in our tribe…I got it the worst, it was god aweful…like someone kicked me in the balls (if I had said balls).  And the worst part is I got it while in Tucson for my cousin’s college graduation, so I wasn’t in the comforts of my own home when I felt my worst.  I mean, I had a fever and I don’t think I’ve had a fever in well over ten years…very sick.  Oh and to try to be a mom while this sick is virtually impossible, but it doesn’t matter, you get only 24 hours to get better and then you have to be back on the job, even if you still feel like crap and still need to recover.
2. One day after I was starting to get better, we packed up our trusty rented U-Haul trailer and started our 4-day journey across the United States to our summer cabin in Wisconsin.  It was really hard with a three month old, he didn’t like being in the car for that many hours out of the day and really I don’t blame him.  Also, Travis’s body decided to have the stomach flu while on this drive because we weren’t all miserable enough already.
3. I literally lost my mind the first week or so that we were in Wisconsin…I was a crying heaping mess who couldn’t do one thing without losing it.  Lovely, I know.  I was a wreak because the intense stress of two kids trying to get comfortable in new surroundings while this cute little cabin was falling apart with at least a half a dozen things broken, (major things like hot water heaters, water pumps, dishwashers and heaters).  Heater in the summer you ask?  Yes, because apparently Wisconsin didn’t get the memo that summer has started and it’s freekin’ freezing around here most days!
4. I’ve had to, not by my choice, slow editing production down since there isn’t 28 hours in a day.
5. I’ve almost gained all the the weight I worked so hard to get off…stress, no exercise and eating to cope have all played a part in that demise.  Hopefully, I will get back on track sooner than later…Horrible kick off to the summer of the work out!
6. I got over most of my anxiety thank god and now we are starting to get in the groove of things…I’m hiring some summertime help, everything has gotten fixed and the kids are doing better…so hopefully the blog will get more action then it’s seen lately .

So, that is what you’ve missed out on in a nutshell….hopefully I will be able to keep up a little better in the near future.

TTFN!
