Why, hello there

One would think that since it's a post-by-email service that one would be able to have a more regular or reliable posting schedule. Yeah, not really.

With a super busy family schedule (four school aged kiddos, with three of them joiners of *all the things*) just doesn't leave as much time as one would like. At least not this one in particular.

Since my last post, um, last Summer, school has started back up. Kids have been in many activities. Orchestra. Band. Choir. Plays. Musicals. Soccer.

In fact right now I find myself sitting at the city's largest recreation center, watching the youngest at his last soccer practice. I'm glad that we are able to do these things for him, and that we are able to attend all of these activities. Can it be challenging to make it to everything? Absolutely. But, it's very important. Not just for the kids, who will never forget that their parents were there. When the support isn't there, they know it too.

We've had events in the past, last year comes to mind, where we had two district events out of town. On the same day. At basically the same time. About 30 minutes drive time apart. Band and choir. Did we make them both? Hell yes we did. Was it stressful? Hell yes it was. Was it worth it? You bet it was.

I love this stuff.
