In case you haven't noticed...

...I don't think blogging is a priority for me any more. If any of you are still out there, which is not all that likely since I have been posting once a month lately, I apologize. I've just been too busy with other stuff and have been spending most of my computer time (that's not devoted to genealogy) on our family website. Yes, it's mostly pictures and not very intellectually stimulating, but it sure is fun. Other than that, I've been busy with kids and looking for a house. We've been in this "rental" for five months now and the novelty is beginning to wear off. Our "closet" bathroom (I put closet in quotes because, let's face it, everyone's closets are bigger than this bathroom) used to be cute. Then, it was just a little cute. Now, it's just little. No, make that tiny. Minuscule. There's not much I can say about a room that's 4' by4' except that the biggest part of it is the shower stall. It wouldn't be so bad if the only cabinet in the room wasn't over the toilet. I mean, where else could it be, right? The toilet is half the entire room. The problem is that every time I open it to get something, something falls into the toilet. Usually it's the something I was reaching for to begin with, which, as you can imagine can be a big problem. I can't tell you how many cosmetic items I've fished out of there (yes, of course I do. Throw it away, that is). So far the casualties include two sticks of deodorant, nail clippers, a brand new toothbrush, my eyeshadow, a $15 bottle of moisturizer and about 100 cotton balls and Q-tips. So, this combined with the fact that a family of 4 (at times, 5 or 6) can't comfortably live in 1500 square feet, is motivating me to look a little more hastily for a house. The tricky part is finding a house that's a little bigger, but still in our price range. We'll see how that goes.

Well, to those of you who made it this far, thanks for "listening" to me vent. It's been fun. I'll try to stop by a little more often. :)

Still glad to read your blog whenever you've had the time to post! Understand the chaotic chapters of life. Look forward to your future blogs. Good luck on the home, bathroom, etc!

Don't worry about it! It's been a while since I've posted too. Life happens. Good luck on the house hunt. We're considering putting ours on the market in the next year too. By the way, welcome back! :o)

It’s great that you are keeping with it even if it is only occasionally. Sorry to hear that the bathroom is sooooo small, definitely a one person at a time arrangement I am sure. Do you have / did you post, a link to the new family website with more great photos of you and your little ones? Take Care :)

Good luck on the house hunt. I'm soooo wishing I could afford to buy my own place...or at least get in a nicer rental. But alas, even with a couple of decent raises, it'll be a while.

Anyway, glad to hear that you're still among the living. ;-) Take care.

I know how it feels to be living somewhere you really don't like. I've not posted in a long time either! So no worries!! I hope you find a place that fits your family soon!

much love in Chirst,
