An Update and Explanation

Dear Friends,

I'm in over my head at the moment.

•Summer is in full swing, and the children are restless.

•The garden is actually feeding our family (which yields one of life's most satisfying moments- sitting down to dinner with a plate full of food you just picked from your backyard), but needing a great deal of attention right now.

•We've been working hard on house projects (also a wonderful and long overdue feeling), but coming to terms with the fact that there's only so much you can do with a budget of $0.

•My mother-in-law is staying with us for a couple of weeks, but our 900 sq. ft. home is not as accommodating as I'd like for it be (visions of a guest "wing", bedside bouquets of flowers, chocolates on her pillow, and a bathroom that locks).

•And it's hot. Very hot.

These are all good things, in and of themselves (minus the 95º weather), but when all of these things are all happening at once, piled on top of each other like a big hot family sandwich, it's easy to get full after only a few bites.

Anyway, all that to say, I'm busy but I miss you. I do plan to return, either when I have a free (alone) day, or when the kids go to college. Whichever comes first. Until then, please endure the erratic postings of whatever thoughts, ideas, images, or curse words that I throw your way. You are, after all, a therapist disguised as a weblog. Right?

I'm off to make everyone B.L.T's and iced coffees now. Have a great week!

Okay, so I had something to say...and then I saw that picture. And, now I'm laughing and can't really think. Please tell me you had to type in more than BLT to get that image.

Okay, when I look at those boobs all I can think is that I could/would never ever do something like that now. Um, you have birthed and nursed children so I know you know what I mean. Your comment on my etsy post made me so happy! I blushed a little.
