I’ve been trying very hard to get back into the habit of writing on here again. This is sort of my journal of life since we’ve had kids, and I do enjoy looking back on phases of my life that I have completely forgotten by reading old posts and looking at pictures. I feel bad that I have been posting so little since Levi was born. I truly feel like I’m finally emerging from the days of chaos and survival mode now that Levi is 2 and Maddie is 3. There were some rough patches in there. And we all know the saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.” So rather than complain I chose to not post. But here we are–on the other side! I can’t believe Levi is 2. It feels like a blink of an eye…
It has been VERY rainy here lately. Actually, it’s been rainy for pretty much a month straight. There have been a few days it hasn’t rained, but it has rained a lot. Everything is very green. But it’s putting a big damper on Tim working. The job that he was supposed to be at yesterday and today has become a huge pond of water. He’s a bit frustrated.
In other news I’ve decided to try and memorize a piano song. It’s not terribly difficult, but it feels good to engage my mind and hands again after a LONG hiatus. It’s Sonatina Op. 55 No. 1 by Friedrich Kuhlau. (That reference is for you, Mom, since I bet you know the song!) I’m enjoying it and have almost the whole thing memorized. Maybe I’ll record myself playing it… maybe…. no guarantees.
And finally a random bit of useless information for you before I go: my kids go through extreme waves of eating bananas. (Anyone else have kids like this?) They LOVE them for a few months and then they HATE them for a couple months. We are currently transitioning out of a HATE phase. But all of that to say that buying bananas can be a bit confusing. I’ll be buying a ton for a long time, just plowing through them and then suddenly I have a ton going brown since no one will eat them. Needless to say, I’ve become very good at making banana bread/muffins lately. So, see? Not a total loss!
Sorry to hear about all the rain. That can get old in a hurry, especially with kids in the house. Or a job that depends on decent weather. Imagine if it was snow!
