Can you believe it? I sure can't.

June is Busting Out All Over!

No, this is not about the film "Carousel" but it is probably my least favorite of the Rodgers and Hammerstein films. The domestic abuse theme of the story doesn't hold much appeal for me. (A slap never feels like a kiss! Ha!). At any rate, I digress...

Can you believe it is already June? The year is almost halfway over and I am feeling sort of melancholy. It is so odd, as it is the time of year that used to bring great happiness. School is getting out this week and the summer vacation starts. It feels really odd. I am contemplating returning to school in the fall. It actually fills me with a bit of dread! Being a student hasn't always been my forte. I feel I need a bit of change though, and hopefully this will give me a bit of what I am lacking.

Summer has increasingly become my least favorite season. The heat, no AC, the general blah of it all really gets to me. Perhaps it will get better or worse when the kids are going to school and being able to spend more time with them and vacation and all that. Then again, the stress of a vacation is in the parents' hands. Nothing is carefree any more, is it?

I am just in awe of it all though. One more school year until my beautiful redhead will be an attendee and now we have a few mere days until my baby is two. Where has the time gone? Honestly it is just slipping away.

Yes, I am scatterbrained.

Oh Ye Poor Neglected Blog

I don't know what the deal is with me. I go through periods of blogging a lot and then nothing. It sure has been a whole lotta nothing lately. I may just forego pictures of recent (or not so recent, ahem, Easter) happenings, but they may appear soon. I will likely be just starting up again from the here and now.

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of seeing my brother and his darling wife for the first time in many moons. I am so grateful for that pleasure. They are a lot of fun to be around. My brother, of course, is always himself and he sure picked a sweetheart of a wife. She really just fits right in with our family's craziness. We made a quickie visit to CALM and just spent a bunch of time eating and playing games. The things we seem to do best, I think!

We also saw Star Trek, totally not disappointed in that one. It was awesome. So many Easter eggs for the fans yet enough broad appeal for those who claim not to even like the franchise.

I will be back. Soon.

Later!
