Let's try this again...

Here's the deal. 

I miss writing. A lot! 

In the last year we have moved, had a baby, moved again, and life got crazy! 

I'm coaching dance and loving it. 

Brian is busy learning how to be an architect.

Micah has been diagnosed with some stuff that we are still working on figuring out how to work through. 

Grayson started preschool. 

Shepard is now 8months old and adorable. 

And Jack Jack went missing last night. Sob. 

So, I have been itching to make and create and reopened my craft store. I have switched over to big cartel instead of etsy. 

Go check it out! It's linked at the top of the page, or go to lovelindsay.bigcartel.com! 

Oh, Micah.

So, Micah comes home with a random lunchbox thing and says that he has to "put a surprise inside and write clues for his class!" 

Uhm...

Put what in it? 

How many clues?

Who writes the clues? Me or him?

And most importantly, when is this due? Ah! The pressure of being a kindergarten mom! 

Some thoughts.

Ay yi yi.

My mind is going at about 1000mph so, I thought I'd let some thoughts out.

The post partum anxiety I had with grayson has been less severe with Shepard. (Thank goodness!) it still likes to lurk around a little bit though... Instead of worrying about shep dying I worry that something bad will happen to her and she'll suffer brain damage. Totally irrational, I know, but that's what keeps me up at night.

Dance team is hard work because of a few bad apple moms that are really difficult for me to deal with. I don't know if this job is worth dealing with that crock of crazy. Ugh. 

I am SOOO tired it's ridiculous. I think it's lupus stuff plus the whole newborn stuff and it's equating to a lot of naps. I am seriously thanking Jesus and my hard working hubby for the ability to nap during the day. 

I am trying to "treasure the doing more than the getting it done" in regards to parenting. I love these sweet kids of mine and hope that they remember a mom that had time to play and be with them regardless of the mountain of laundry... (Right now it's becoming more of a mountain range than a singular mountain.)

The snow in nc actually managed to mess up my week here, so thanks for that nc. Ugh,

Brian and I are busy vision casting for our next year. Good thing we are hard workers! 

And a picture for reading through all of this!
