it's been awhile.

awhile.

yes.

that's an understatement.

it's been a crazy.long.while.

 

i am busy.

and overwhelmed with life.

 

since i have last written.

summer has ended. done. but a memory.

sad.

school has started.

matt turned 40. and i had a surprise party for him.

kinda.

we have had weddings.

and fall ball has started.

ballet has started as well.

 

life is seeming very busy.

most days it's good.

but i am struggling to find a "new normal" right now.

the start of the school year has been fabulous.

but we really haven't started anything hard yet.

like. homework. for instance.

 

i hate when life gets in such a hurry.

like now.

i hate that feeling.

i kept saying...the kids birthdays.

then i would say. school starts.

then i would say matt's birthday party.

then i would say these weddings. and now. NOW... almost all of those things are finished.

and i can focus on ME?

 

is that what needs to happen?

absolutely.

it is crazy different around here with just karolina and i.

i love it. my days can be empty and fun.

if i don't fill them up with stuff.

what a challenge.

 

that's all i am going to leave you with for now.

matt's party was supposed to be outside. but it rained. and rained. and then rained some more.

so i had to have it inside.

which meant lots of stuffing "stuff" places.

so...now i am "unstuffing" and making lots of trips to reuzit.

i have too much "stuff"...

 

and many. many pictures to share soon. ;)
