I've had a few inquiries to see if we're still here.
The good news is, yes we are! The even better news is, I am reviving this old blog and plan on posting more often !! (although, I realize I wouldn't have to post too much in order to be more active than I have. Hoping to change this - promise!!) Lots of changes going on with us -- more of which I will update in future posts. Empty nesters, not-so-empty-nesters, changes and plans, plans and changes -- ei yi yi yi yi! Confused? Well...stay tuned as we work through bringing some order to things!

We've always been a very traditional family. One where Mr. went out to work and I, stayed home. Raising children, homeschooling and operating a small business from home filled my days.
Now however, the kids are mostly gone, Mr. no longer regularly goes out to work and is thus home to ummm.... "help" me. I guess Mr. never gave much thought to the fact I've been preparing meals for a long time. I've had many successes but also failures from which I learned a lot. Needless to say, I could now prepare most of the meals we eat, in my sleep. Enter dinner preparation the other night. As Mr. milled around the house, he was quite concerned about his dinner cooking on the stove. I wish I could have captured him on camera as it was quite amusing. I think he thought I was going to burn it or let it boil over or something...but whatever it was, he was *quite* concerned! I was rather enjoying it, so didn't put a stop to his worry. It was just toooo funny!! ha ha ha. I'm glad to report dinner was not burned, did not boil over or was not ruined in any other form. Mr., as usual, got his dinner and all was well. This illustrates however, this transition is going to take some time. I remember too well, the initial days of being home all day and also found them to be very long. Onward and upward though. We have many, many more mis-adventures to experience but will have many of these minor adjustments along the way. Stay tuned! |
