What has been going down

You may have wondered, or maybe not so much, where I have been. I went from blogging nearly every day to writing nothing for an entire week. I can tell by all the comments on my last post that I have truly been missed. I found something out about myself this week. I know you are all on pins an needles too.... If I have an adult to converse with (and I did this week when my sister came to visit), then I don't really have need of blogging. Blogging, I find to be an outlet for me to vent my thoughts. Sort of an imaginary internet adult to talk to. Only totally not the way that sounds. I have only kid to adult conversation through out the entire day and so I blog (usually at night) to get the adult conversation out, and then I can go to sleep. (Usually too late). I am sure when T's deployment is over I will blog a lot less.

So to highlight what went down while I was away, here is a top ten list of events during my week without blogging...

1-Picked up my sister 30 minutes earlier than planned at BWI and was surprised to actually find her there, with chocolate!
2-Shoveled out of an ice-storm that put the kids at home from school for 2 days straight. My sister couldn't have come at a better time!
3-Went shopping and found some nice brown shoes.
4-Jump started my husband's car and replaced the battery (Thanks home teacher!)
5-Did lots of laundry.
6-Cooked for my sister. (Jambalaya, tortellini Soup, omelets and home-made pizza)
7-Went to the Museum of American History and took a photo with Steven Colbert's portrait inside a portrait inside a portrait. I know you are jealous!
8-Taught my sister how to use Facebook.
9-Finally unpacked and organized my sewing room while Paula made Kraft mac and cheese for my kids.
10-Regained some sanity. Just in time I might add!

So there you have it. If anyone is thinking of coming to hang out with me and watch me try and feed my 2 year old, please feel free. It's a chance of a lifetime I'm telling ya! And I make a pretty mean omelet if I do say so myself.

Glad you had a good visit with your sister. Missed you! Glad you're back to blogging, although selfish on my part!
