So THIS is where I left my Blog!

OK so the last year has been a rush of mish-mesh crazy. First Shaun had School from March until October and then we moved cross country from Washington to Maryland- stopping of course in Indiana for a nice visit.

Our good old 1991 Ford Explorer decided (after faithfully getting us to Maryland) to die on us and we ened up getting a 2007 Mercury Mountianer. Nice car...horrible payments! LOL. His car needs work and is currently on sick leave down at his mom's house.

We moved into a great house on Fort George G Meade- 2 story, 4 bedroom HUGE house. I adore it. We are on a dead end street with a nice size park at our end and the Community Center (complete with GYM and LAUNDRY ROOM!) at the other.

Our neighbors on both sides are awesome- the kids have kids their age to play with and I honestly don't see them after homework most nights til dinnertime!

Shaun (DH) is a ton happier too, it seems. He comes in from work smiling and is cheerful (ok not CHEERFUL but you know). He loves his "super secret" job. I think he gets a kick out of the I can't tell you or I have to kill you, thing. ;)

I am pretty happy here. I miss the folks in Washington- especially my boys and Sally and Emily and Miss Jenny and Meadow and Ericka! LOL ok I pretty much totally miss everyone! But I am making friends here and having a lot of fun.

All in All it has been a helluva year- with a great visit from Shaun's Mom and my uber bestie, Lilly, over the summer; moving cross country; and starting a new life in a new place.

It is freeing to move and have a fresh start. I am trying to make this a great one and who knows what is in store for us as the Holidays come and then the new decade begins!

Who Stole My Bon Bons?!?

OK so seriously, I want to hit the person who came up with the term "Stay At Home Mom". I am NEVER at home! This week alone I have taken the kids to school, taken Isa (DD2, Age 2) to Speech therapy, gone to the school for Keira (DD1, Age 7), taken Keira to her Doctor's appointment, gone to the pharmacy, fielded an hour long call from the school councilor (AT the pharmacy) got off the phone to realize I am 20 minutes late picking up Shaden (DS, Age 5) from school- made a frantc call to the school to find he is safely at the office playing with LEGOs, rushed there- got him. Then got home, fixed dinner, googled directions to Fire station 56 on Seabeck HW and after a hurried dinner dragged Keira to a Girl Scout Cookie Meeting.

Did I mention that was all Monday alone?!? Tuesday involved a nuteritionalist, another Doctor appointment, the pharmacy an aborted library trip and an exhausted mom crying in the doctors office out of sheer frusteration...

It has been a long week and its only the second day of it...

I am sure I was promised Bon Bons and told that I wouls stay home all day in pajamas and watch Oprah and Soaps- when exactly does that come in? I can't even remember the last time I watched something that wasn't DVRed a month before.

And my husband, Goddess love him asks why I am so stressed out...
