I Miss This Space

I really loved this space. The writing, the sharing, the reveling in the mutual appreciation of the beauty of my children. Time has gotten in the way of writing. Obligations have gotten in the way of writing. I'm fairly sure there is no one left here to read my writing, but I wish I could still write, if for no one else, than for myself and my kids (to read when they're older).

Ms. D turned ONE WHOLE HAND and says funnier stuff than I ever remember the other two kids saying...and that's saying A LOT because they said some really funny stuff.

M and K are almost 11 and 9, respectively. M is going to middle school next year, a thought that terrifies me. My son is still struggling with his learning disabilities, but he's improved a lot on his reading abilities.

We put our cat down in November and somehow came home with a new puppy two weeks ago, so our "we're going to wait a year after the cat dies before we get another pet" totally went to shit. But, dang, this pup is sweet and cute and the kids are in love. They alternate between being completely helpful and completely blaise about helping. I can admit an 8-week-old puppy is a lot of work. (We got her at 7 weeks)

She's a wonderful addition to our family...and already loved so much. I apologize to her if I call her Chat once in a while. I do still miss my kitty.
