Hiatus

So in November I called it quits on a lot of things. I quit taking my kids to ballet, I gave up a calling, I stopped going to the park with my friends, I stayed home and I worked and I spent time with my sister because she was getting ready to move again.

So with the holidays over I'm now working full time instead of part time and it's been hard. I'm hoping that the bigger paycheck will prove it completely worth it though so we'll see.

But with the added hours I feel that my house has suffered and my sleep has suffered. I'm not very good at managing my time or managing my life for that matter but I'm trying harder.

Ainsley wanted to go back to ballet but to be perfectly honest, the thought of adding something back INTO life has me a wee bit stressed. Plus with Hanna gone I feel like I need to stop neglecting my friends because I need my friends.

Nothing has really changed with the girls. Caelan loves preschool and Ainsley loves 1st grade and amazes me at how stinking smart she is.

Caelanism: "I am a child of God and he has sent me here, but not you daddy."

She's also obsessed with weddings and asks me daily who she can marry.

Ainsley's still a love bug and is just the sweetest thing ever. She is completely enthralled with animals, stuffed or real, it doesn't matter.

I'll try to get some pictures up later.

Sorry to hear about your sis moving... that's tough. Courtney thinks Ainsley is the sweetest, too. She even named one of her dolls "Ainsley!"

Yes, pictures please! I hope your adventures in coming out of the cave go smoothly. Its very strange to reinvent a life after living with mine meshed with yours meshed with everyone else's for so long. lol. You can DO it (and so can I). :)
