Can you handle this fattie?!I would love to post more because, as always, I have plenty to share. Unfortunately/fortunately my plate is heaping full these days:
taking an English course through BYU "Christian Fantasy," teaching the Laurel girls every week at church, exercising every morning at 5:30 (heard of "Insanity?" It's kicking my A), volunteering in James' class (reading to them, planning parties...), HOA Board Meetings (I'm the treasurer?! Yes, I disclosed my "D" in Accounting at BYU), picking up random cleaning jobs or catering jobs along with all the rest: grocery shopping, keeping a nap schedule for my baby, cleaning my house, going on field trips with Maxi's preschool, making meals and cleaning up (repeat four plus times a day), laundry, reading with James, remembering my husband during all the chaos and making sure he knows I love him and the list goes on and on....and onnnnn. You're familiar.I just hope that all the "good things" aren't detracting from the "most important" things. It is an ongoing balancing act and I'm trying desperately to keep things in perspective. I love my life. I really, truly do. I have three healthy, happy, darling, thoughtful, respectful boys. I have a husband who works unfathomably hard to support us AND allow me to live my dream: being a mother with the privilege of spending her days with her sons (and daughter(s) hopefully, one day).
So, not that I owe anyone an explanation for my sporadic blogging...just wanted to vent a bit....and post a cute picture of my baby :)

Lovely post; I know how you feel :) You're doing great!
Love his fatties...love you. Isn't life grand. Beautiful?!?! Being a mother is such a wonderful blessing...and being able to mother at home full time is a blessing beyond any other. We are blessed.
You. Are. A-Maz-Ing. But I guess I told you that already. :)
