We Interrupt This Blogging Break for a Brief Message..

Okay peoples, I'm going through my mountains of laundry today since I've put all housekeeping duties on the back burner and have put all my energies into packing up this little homestead of mine. But alas, I've run out of laundry detergent and need to run to the grocery store to buy more- but my kids are in the middle of The Princess Bride and Wesley's in the (read with a super scratchy voice) Pit of Despair and I can't very well pull my kids away in the middle of all that suspense and drama, now can I? So I'm logging on to my blog to really quick fill you in on the details of our move. We are moving to: (drumroll) HEBER CITY, UTAH! Oh man, are you so excited for us? Will you still be so excited for us when I say that we are moving in with Ben's mom? Hmmm? So yes, that is where we are moving... we are paying down debt and saving up so we can finally buy a house (how many years have I been having that as a goal now?). Anyhow, don't you Utahns worry, we will still be close enough for weekly Sunday dinners at your houses.

And now, back to the scheduled program (aka the Blogging Break).

(But first a picture to appease my mom who only checks this blog for snapshots of her favorite grandkidlets)

Um...

We are moving. In two weeks. I found out last week. Need I say more?

Blogging break to start right...

now.

Time to Slow Down

Merry Christmas to all!

I'm off!

See you all in a couple of weeks... I'll drink some extra Piña Coladas just for you!

Can't handle the withdrawl...

Who am I kidding. Really. I'm just going to accept my addiction and move on. At least blogging doesn't have any adverse side affects. Well, except for the carpal tunnel. There's that. Oh, and the brain tumor from the electro-magnetic whatchamacallits being emitted from my computer. But who counts that.

Moving on:




{Oh man, that felt good to get that out there and on my blog... Breathe it in, people, breathe it in. Now don't you feel so much better?}

Dear Blog,

According to this article, I may be becoming addicted to you. You, in a rather conniving and devious fashion, convinced me that blogging was a harmless way to keep in touch with distant relatives, a way to express myself and journal about my adventures as a mom. But then something happened, didn't it blog? I started becoming a little overzealous in my need to have a cute and entertaining blog. I stayed up late editing posts until I felt they were "worthy" of posting! Oh the ridiculousness! I started reading other mom blogs. Some of which belonged to friends who lived nearby, but instead of going and visiting them, I read their blog and called it a day. I became a home body, staying indoors and tethering myself to the laptop, insisting that my kids play in their room or watch Dora again.

But no more, blog. I'm on to you. I'm taking another blog-cation, like I did last year. Next week is supposed to be 70° all week long! Time for picnics in the park, playdates with friends, trips to the zoo, hikes in the mountains, bike rides, walks to the library, sidewalk art, gardening, farmer's markets, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Just thinking about it is a breath of fresh air! So au revoir for now, little bloggie. I'm sure I'll be back.

Gimme a break...

So, in case you haven't noticed I am going to be taking a bit of a hiatus, length to be determined. Check back in a couple of weeks, I'm sure I'll be missing blogging by then. The weather is too beautiful to not take advantage of the great outdoors before the summer rears it's hot, hot head. Carpe Diem! See you all soon!
