KNOCK, KNOCK. ANYBODY HOME?

It’s been about 4 months since I’ve been here. I’m not sure why I’m dropping by or if I’ll make it back anytime soon. I know I’ve wanted to say hi to some kind folks and I’ve been asked where I’ve been. I find writing very therapeutic and the sharing, the affirmation, the likeminded friends have been missed. Maybe I’ll try again but I can’t seem to find the time and I am SUCH a procrastinator. I keep putting off email and blogging until I have 2 free hands to type with – it’s SO much easier and faster. Isaiah has gotten so big and likes to help type when he nurses. He’s snoozing right now so we’re good until he’s done then I’ll need self-discipline to stop and put him to bed then get on with business.
Another huge hiccup the previous months was I managed to get a part in a play, believe it or not. That sucked the time right off of the calendar. I’ll blog about that later if I make it back. Anyhoo, that was an amazing fun time but I didn’t have spare time to begin with.
The final straw that broke my blogging back was my lousy dial-up internet provider besides getting slower than it already was, started this nasty habit of closing down whenever I would have more than one window open or have certain websites open such as HSB. It also shuts down my favorite cake idea website, several blogs, 2 favorite recipe resources, and several others I use for homeschooling. I was thinking of moving to Blogspot before this started so I can post photos without my whole post getting rearranged but this situation may force the matter.
I hope everyone had a blessed Easter. Did it come to early for anyone else? We "accidentally" booked ourselves for working a birthday party on Saturday without realizing it was the day before Easter so the day was spent mostly on that and NOT on traditional Easter activities. The little kids got gypped and I was also up until 2am prepping for our family gathering at my FIL’s on Sunday. AND while a lot of folks were making their bi-annual visit to church, we had to play hooky in order to get ready. Whine. We had a nice day even though it snowed at one point! On Easter! The nerve! The kids road ATVs and got covered in mud. I’ll decide after laundry if I’ll be the "stick in the mud" and demand dry ground for future rides. Even 4 y.o. Autumn got to ride with Daddy and liked it FAST. Does anyone else have the problem at family gathering of some dipstick turning on the TV? I loathe that. You can watch TV at home! Play! Visit! Talk to somebody, for crying out loud! My 18 y.o. happened to be the first dipstick to turn on the TV though she knows I despise that so I had to make, yet another, rule and declare that no child of mine shall turn on the TV at a gathering. I should write my own rulebook and sell it so new moms will have a head start.

Feeling rather blah, sorry if I sound it. I’ll try to make my rounds and visit!
Have a great week!
