Time gets away on you...

I realize that I haven't posted anything here since 2010. It seems like someone has pushed a FastForward button on my life and now that things are slowing a bit, I'm left to sit and wonder: what the hell just happened??

The boys are getting bigger and more independant and more...less-kid-like. I'm not liking it all and I'm still mourning the babies they were. But they still give me lots and lots of material to use in that they stuff they come up with is priceless. I'm at a loss right now for something specific, but I'm hoping to organize my thoughts a bit better, as well as my life, now that I've made a conscious decision to shift my focus. I don't know where my focus has been lately, but it's not been where it should be: my home and all who dwell in it. I've been working a lot lately and not doing the little extras, and not following up on things I probably should be. That's what happens when a part time mum works more hours than she should. Anyway, as I've said, things should be slowing down a bit now and with summer just around the corner, I'm hoping to get things organized so we can truly have a lazy, hazy summer.

Today is my first day home alone in a long time. It's already 9:30am and I'm not being as productive as I should be, but I'm trying not to feel guilty for it. I'm e-mailing with my girlfriends while they're at work, I'm listening to some soft, instrumental music and I'm blogging...something I enjoy doing. I love the peacefulness a day home alone gives me. Yes, I should stop writing. I should sweep up the thousands of tumbleweeds that collect overnight.I should go organize my CDs which are all out of their cases and sprawled in the entertainment cabinet. I should tidy the kitchen. I also have to go to the bank, the grocery store, Costco and go pick up the boys for 2:35...but for now, I'm sitting in front of my (new) computer and loving the sounds of my home, minues the boys who dwell in here.

It's a good day....so far. (:
