Pause…and Fast Forward
Did you ever go to sleep and wake up 2 months later?… Or maybe I blinked and missed the last 2 months. What ever it is all I know is one minute it was August – summer was getting ready to be over and school was getting ready to start. Now it is almost November and I’m looking at a pumpkin that has seen better days.
I love to blog and I love the blog community. I have missed you these last 2 months. There hasn’t been anything monumental that has kept me from blogging…just my family. My husband just asked me how to make the TV work (turn off the DVD player and press on, honey…). That is the kind of life I have had over the last 2 months. Little things that are called life in my family.
I have a picture frame that at the top says “Give Thanks”. This is the photo in the frame.
Upon looking at this photo, you might think “what a great family”. “Great costumes! ” The reality is that it took me ALL day to get everyone looking like this. The hair, make-up, props, costumes, etc. Then came the attitudes. They were going to a Father/Daughter dance which had a costume contest. The girls had decided at the beginning of the month to be the Red & White Queen. When I thought about the costume aspect of the dance, I thought my husband would be a perfect “Mad Hatter”. He had other ideas. His typical Halloween costume is his cowboy hat and duster. I talked him into a vest and French cuff shirt. My daughter had a “Mad Hatter” hat, we just added the extras. Overall it turned out really good. He actually won first place in “Most Original” costume. His prize – the frame that says “Give Thanks!”
That is why I haven’t had time to write for a while. But I pledge to find the time to post again and again. I need the sanity!
