Catching Up


The other day, I noticed that my blog wasn't loading at all and I was getting DNS errors. My kind hubby got things working again and Trish happened to check it for me and asked if it should be coming up with a last post on April 30. Why yes, another two weeks have passed without a blog post. I have decent reasons this time though!


We've had unseasonably warm weather up here in Seattle and I've been doing lots of yard work -- reshaping trees, clearing forest paths, cutting tea roses away from the fire hydrant, reclaiming my driveway from errant bushes, and weeding, weeding, weeding. I've also had a little thing that I've had to get ready for -- Z turning twelve last Friday! For some reason this one is hitting me harder than I expected. It's probably a combination of the facts that he's only got five weeks of elementary school left and that he's only about an inch or two shorter than me now. The days of him being my baby are gone for good. I love the young man he's becoming but it's strange to not be the parent of a "kid" anymore.


Still, I've done a lot of great reading lately and I really want to start catching up on telling you all about it. Stay tuned!

Making excuses,
K

  1. I am still totally astonished that Z is twelve. Like not as astonished as you are probably, but damn, pretty astonished. Also I can't leave comments on your blog so there's no point in me typing this.

    1. I KNEW IT I KNEW THAT IF I SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE THEN IT WOULD WORK.

    2. Are people having problems with my blog specifically or just with Blogger? I am very happy that this worked though!
      Also, it blows my mind that I have a 12 year old and that this specific kid is 12. I really was hoping he would stay little forever.
