well hello there.
you know that point when something’s got to give?
the one when the plate is just so full that something gets pushed right off the side?
right over the edge?
yes. of course you do.
i got there when jake finished school for summer a few weeks ago.
so delightful. no homework or school schedules to navigate.
overwhelming. a teenager home. for weeks. and a job. and a toddler. to navigate.
admittedly i’d rather have this issue than the other, but of course what gives is -
well, you know what gives when the family-plate is full.
you give.
so the blog? well, anyway, i’m here now.
I hear you. Give me a couple of weeks and I’ll be there..
We have four more days to go. These will be the longest four days of my life. We are so ready around here.
Oh yes. I was just having this conversation with my girl yesterday. About her tightness in her chest. Heart? Lungs? Stress?
“what stress us the in my life?” she asked
Husband
New house
Two children
Renters for old house
Swim lessons for kids
Dance 3x week for one
Wedding consulting
Trip to inlaws in two weeks
Daughters birthday party
Pain from RA
“your right” I said, what stress?
Correction
What stress is there in my life?
Good to hear from you by the way
yes. so good to hear your voice.
it has been a bit crazy here too.
lots of words. just not public ones.
working on the summer list. despite the fact that it is overcast and rainy. AGAIN.
We’ve all had those moments. (or months, seasons and years.) As much as I think having expressive outlets such as these are a marvellous necessity in this world, anyone who lets the virtual world take priority over the real one is messed up. Mind you that might be my defence for ignoring my blog for months at a time while I drowned in academia…
Glad you’re back and that you feel you can take time when you need it.
So lovely to have your voice back. It looks like you are indeed settling into summer and having a beautiful time. How is your lovely baby lady and her wonderful charges? Truly special children. Smiles from Marrakech.
