From the Land of the Living...

My hiatus from the blogosphere has been filled with all kinds of life happenings and mostly now that I am truly feeling better I am ready to join the ranks of the online once more! I apologize for my absence and look forward to catching up on everyone's lives!

I have a bazillion things to catch up on for my own sake of remembrance and such and I have some super cute pics to share! With that being said I am going to go put my big kids to bed for a nap. They're all exhausted and we're heading to dinner at my Mom's so I want to insure against melt downs!

On the B Side: I have had so much fun catching up with friends and have kept myself busy enjoying them. I'm trying not to hate the fact that I have to go back to work tomorrow which officially ends my maternity leave and just appreciate the fact that I am gainfully employed and able to support my darling little loved ones!

Did You Just Say That? Really? Out Loud? Really Loud?

I had to pick up Adi's prescription at Target this weekend. Ellie came with me and I set the expectation that we were ONLY getting the medication. Ellie strategically proceeded to vie for cute clothes. Keep in mind that SHE'S FOUR! She had an entire argument (that is not new) about how she needed them to be cute to which I explained (again) that things do not make us cute; that we do not need clothes or jewelry in order to be cute. Very loudly in a serious tone of agitation she says;

"YOU MEAN YOU THINK I'M CUTE WHEN I'M NAKED?"

That goes over real big in public. Ugh.

On the B Side: I love the cute naked guts out of that girl!!

Pocketful of Moonshine...Um...I mean Sunshine!

Things like this make everything better. Very special thanks to Auntie Loori (oh and Cheesus)!

On the B Side: I heart special people!

Don't Call it a Come Back cause' I've Been Here for Years

I feel like a crumpled up piece of paper weighted by cement. Weird, right?

On the B Side: While my lupus has brought me to my knees and had me by the throat (but really just curled up in the fetal position trying to be a Mom & not make my illness obvious). I have been so lucky to have the love and quiet support of so many. I am determined to push forward. Thank you for helping me to do so...
