I'm still alive... if you were wondering!

I know I haven't blogged in forever, and I can't say it's because I've had nothing to blog about... really, I'm not sure what's been going on. I feel like I'm constantly busy and barely take the time to sit down, but at the end of the day I look around and think, "so... what did I do today?" I'm sure many of you know the feeling. I'm on Twitter now, too, but I have to accept you to follow. I really don't want anyone creepy following me! So much to say...

I went to FL for a few days in the middle of March to see my mom. My Grandma was visiting as well, and it was a really nice (and much needed) vacation. Joe encouraged me to go. He had to because I was so weary of leaving the kids. If it were left up to me, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave. I almost took Matt with me, but realized how crazy I was. It's just really hard for me to leave Matt cause he's the baby. I knew the other boys would be fine but my baby... I came home with everyone intact, so now I think I need to do it more often!

Aside from that, I've been going to work, hired a babysitter, and am enjoying the sunshine. Yesterday we got the boys' power wheels out, so they could be outside. Drew's wasn't working, but they shared Nate's just fine. I took them out again today, put Matt in the grass and took some pics. It's hilarious watching Matt in the grass cause he doesn't know what to think of it. He's afraid to touch it! I'm sure with a few more outings, he'll get used to it.

I fell off with photography for a bit, because I 'just didn't have the time'. Well, I need to make time for it cause it's something I really love. So I took these few pics, and it was a blast. Real estate is going OK; I'm not doing a whole lot though. I'd like to be, but trying to build up clientele again is harder than I thought it'd be. I've been back for 2 months, and nothing. Not for total lack of trying (I'm sure I could be trying harder), it's just not a great time. I am going back to school soon. Joe encouraged me to do that, too. I need to finish something, and I'm halfway there. I'm excited about that, but I'm going to take it slow so I don't burn out too quickly.

We went to the Submarine birthday ball and had an awesome time. It's fun to get dressed up once in a while. When I came downstairs to leave Drew said, "Mommy, you a princess?" Awe. I said, "Yes Drew, I am." I love that boy.

Ah. Like I said earlier, everyday I feel like I've gotten nothing accomplished, but I never rest. just like the past month. What have I been up to? Everything and nothing.
