MIA

I know I've been MIA lately. I apologize. There are a couple reasons why I've been away from the computer:

1) The girls and I got pretty sick, and between the three of us, the illness spanned a couple weeks. It was a yucky bug. Not as nasty as the one I got two years ago when I felt like I wanted to die (my sister and I caught it from our nieces and nephew who were in town from out-of-state, and hers progressed to pneumonia), but still no fun.
2) I've been trying to focus my energy into getting back into an exercise routine. I've also been trying to get out and enjoy the outdoors more, which has been really nice.
Like I told Stephen yesterday, though, there just aren't enough hours in the day to do everything I need and want to do, like sleep, cook, bake, eat, work out, shower, care for and play with my kids, read, blog, surf the 'Net, run errands, keep my house tidy, go for walks, watch my favorite TV shows, etc., etc., etc. I know most people feel the way I do. It's frustrating, isn't it?

There have been SO many things I've wanted to blog about lately, but with everything else going on, I just haven't made time to sit down and write it all out. Here are some topics that have been stewing around in my silly little head:

-- rants & raves
-- the reprehensible Sheriff Joe Arpaio
-- a ton of Emmyisms
-- our being sick (including home video)
-- Em's dentist appointment (including pictures)
-- Leah's birthday celebration (including home video)


Let's see if I can somehow nip at least one of these in the bud today. Happy first day of spring!
