It has been years since I last wrote a blog. I miss it. While Hurricane Harvey has wrecked havoc on Houston and surrounding areas, it has given me a chance to catch up on things around the house and even attempt a blog post or two!
I love documenting our every day life so the kids will have the memories to look back on while also sharing my diluted opinions, outlook and experiences of life.
My children have been good to entertain themselves by throwing toy grenades at each other, riding their bikes in the rain, arguing endlessly, playing games and of course watching way too much tv or playing on their electronic devices way more than should be allowed.
I've enjoyed pretending I'm a stay-at-home mom and have cooked each meal and even baked desserts. Aside from playing referee, I could totally get used to this...maybe one day! I have also enjoyed checking things of my list that I've been wanting to do around the house forever but haven't been able to do the regular insanity of life. It's been great to be here to make them take time to practice their instruments, read, use their imaginations to play, practice cheer (London), clean up after themselves and practice multiplication (Hudson). I can wash/fold clothes and clean up the house while I work from home. So many pluses! Then we turn on the news and we are reminded of all the devastation taking place just outside of our neighborhood. So, so sad.
