It’s absolutely ridiculous that I haven’t blogged in so long because I’ve probably had more going on in the past couple of years than ever in my life…..which is probably why I haven’t blogged. Plus, I think I got a little weirded out that my family might be reading my blog, because I felt like it was my own little safe place to put all of my thoughts down, but HELLO – it’s the internet. So there’s that. Duh. Some of the big things that have happened recently in no particular order…..
I am homeschooling BJ. It was a sudden and scary decision to make, but it had to be done. Toxic situations do not make for good learning environments. And yeah, I still wonder every.single.day what the hell I was thinking, I also marvel every.single.day at what a difference it has made for all of us. A positive difference.
We bought a ranch! Now, I know our local friends with real working ranches of eleventy-thousand acres probably just spit their beer on their screens at my mention of a ranch. We don’t have cattle (yet) and it’s only 60 acres, but for this former city girl, it is a RANCH.
BJ had a terrible accident exactly 11 months ago and almost lost his left eye. It was scary, but I’m thankful for amazing medical care and a top notch trauma center. Thanks to a very talented surgeon, BJ’s vision is 20/20 today. In both eyes. (more on this topic later).
That morning he was happy about it being “Cool Day” at school. And my, oh my, was my little preppy boy the coolest.
Later that evening, things were no longer cool. They were scary as shit.
Last summer we took the kids to Disney World. It was amazing. Truly magical. Especially for Mia!
There have been so many fun things, and hopefully I’ll find time to blog about all of them, and all of the fun things to come…..like the amazing garden I’m creating from scratch on our new ranch. And the baby chicks we bought today. And the family trip we just took to New York City for our 10th Anniversary. AND the Disney Cruise we’re taking in May with my mom.
And if you’re reading, thank you. If you happen to be my family, that’s okay too. I’m okay with it now….this is my space.
