Were Have I Been?

First I want to apologize for my long absence. I have loads of excuses, some of which I will explain but I still hate that I have been gone so long. So, I am sorry.

Now, to explain... In February I adopted a second child and I had a stoppage of posting at that time. Makes sense right. Well, I started posting again with a new commitment when I started to feel like I could get an awake moment away from my kids. Things were going well and then I found life getting away from me again. I didn't know what happened and then it hit me. My daughter was out of school.

Why did it take me so long to figure out why things got crazy? Well, my daughter only had school 2.5 hours a day 2 days a week. But, apparently that made a big difference. Add to that my need to jam pack every ounce of fun to be had during the summer including two camping trips. Add a visit from a social worker for a post adoption follow up, and my desire to 'home school' my daughter during her summer break. And that is how you end up with a mom with no time for herself or her blog.

I wish you knew how many times I had started to post but then I felt so bad about being away that I just never finished the post. I have been cooking, and I hope that you have been too. I still love to cook, although I really wish someone would come clean up my kitchen after every meal for me! Anyone want the job?

Anyway, I am writing to let you know that I am back. I can't promise perfection, in fact I can promise that it won't be. I am planning on some changes that I hope you like. More on that later.

Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read my rambling. I just really needed to get it all out there. I am sure I needed to get it all said more for me than anyone else. Be looking for a menu to come out tomorrow! And much more to follow!
