I've been meaning to write, but...

Since my return from my Vacation to Restore Sanity, life has been a blur.  Blur with a capital B.  Instead of rambling on and on about why it's been a blur, let's turn to some handy bullet points.

A five week condensed course is great in theory.  In practice, and when it coincides with a ten week regular course, it blows.

Old friends stopped by for a visit.  It was great to see them again.  The super short notice added to the week of super-stress.  Oh well.  The unfortunate part of their visit was when the pipes under the sink ruptured.  I stopped freakin' and called Beacon.

Drake has his first trip to the ER.  I'm surprised he made it to the ripe old age of four before it happened.  I assumed it would have happened much sooner.  Head injuries produce copious amounts of blood.  I don't deal well with blood.  On the upside, the new ER at Tacoma General/Mary Bridge Children's Hospital is lovely.

Easter.  The boys were pleasantly surprised that the plastic eggs were filled with candy. 

I turned 37.  Not such a big deal.  It happens.

Mother's Day was delightful.  (Thank you, boys.  All three of you.)

Flynn has started potty training.  I give him nickels as a reward.  (My kids prefer monetary rewards.)  He places his cash in the "Donation" portion of his piggy bank.  It's nice to see it all going to a good cause.

Depression makes me a lousy mother.  Time to go and get some happy pills.

And there you have it.  The last 7 1/2 weeks in a nice, tidy package.  I will hopefully return to my regularly scheduled writing soon, maybe once the quarter has ended.  :)
