Blogging Void

Well...blogging isn't happening like I'd hoped. I think about this blog a lot. I think, "I really should blog. If I lost all of my digital pictures in some freak accident, I'd have the blog pictures at least." But life, as usual, doesn't really want me to sit idly on the couch and do anything involving personal time. Honestly, if I could take a picture from where I'm sitting, you'd see miss Evie sleeping beside me on the couch. That girl hates sleeping alone. Yay for me.

Ahh...truth be told, I'm used to it. Honestly, I'm so accustomed to having a tiny kid sleeping next to me that when I wake up alone (not including Josh), I kind of worry about why no one is there. Don't get me wrong. I'm quite sure I'd adjust without complaint to the return of my personal space. I am so good at sleeping on the very edge of my bed, that you could stick me on a six inch wide cliff, 20,000 feet up a mountain, and I could guarantee you, without batting an eye, that I could sleep on it without falling off. Yeah. I'm that good.

I remember sitting at the computer and tinkering with the blog for a couple of hours. I'd put a new background up, play with the title bar, and make all sorts of fun new changes. I enjoyed that. Now, I see my way too old background (missing my third child) and ask myself how I got so busy. I'm usually too busy to answer my own question. For example, I spent well over 10 hours cleaning my entire house up to repair all the damage done after the Christmas morning present explosion. There were entire areas of the house so littered with junk, that I couldn't see the floor. 1000 sq feet + 3 kids + Christmas vacation = gigantic mess.

So that leads me to my yearly goals. New Year's Eve is quickly approaching. And with that, I am hoping to accomplish many things. I have very low expectations regarding the success of said accomplishments. That way, when I fail to achieve them, I will not be sorely disappointed.  Nevertheless, one of those goals is to blog about our life more often. One day I want to read it all for the sake of nostalgia. I also want to finish the sequel to my current book, make a quilt for Evie (like I did for Alex and Abby), and expand my Literary program for schools. I also hope to potty train my youngest and eat chocolate daily without gaining weight. One of those is less likely to occur than the other, I'm afraid.

Go, me! (Now where's my chocolate?)
