Once again, I feel as if I've been neglecting the blog. But really, any neglect isn't intentional and it's just that life has been crazy lately. Let me explain...
1) We moved. Yep, you know. We are still not completely settled and probably not even halfway there because...
2) The morning after we moved we got a call that Anthony's grandfather had passed away. :( Up until that morning, our kids had been able to walk to, talk to, and hug all of their great-grandparents. Pretty amazing, right? So, we loaded up a few days later and made our way to North Carolina where we celebrated his life and got to spend a lot of good time with his entire immediate family. Bittersweet was the word.
3) When we got home and walked into our new house, the flood gates of Overwhelming Dam unloaded on me. There is A LOT to do. Anthony keeps having to remind me that this is not a short-term flip. It's a long-term homemaking. ;)
4) I've since resolved myself to taking it a room-a-day instead of hopping around from this one to that one while thinking about that room three over that really needs a good organization. Today I tackled the dining room.
It's hard to see the bare drywall where in my mind I see paint on the walls with a fun wallpaper under the chair rail and art on the walls and curtains and a new chandelier and wood tile floors and and and...
5) It's a long-term homemaking. Breathe.
6) Last, the writer I used to write my posts with that I absolutely loved went caput on me and so I've been having to publish from Blogger's platform and it's been much less than fun. Writing a post sounds fun until I remember I have to fanagle with Blogger. But, I'm weighing my options so hopefully I'll have a better avenue soon. Don't worry though, I promise it won't keep me from posting. ;)
7) I have a really fun idea to share that involves you, yep, YOU, so stay tuned!
