12/31 - 5 minutes

This was taken right before these two left for The Boy's first ever baseball game a few weeks ago. It's topical since the Cards are in the playoffs again tonite. I had to sneak upstairs to escape Matt's muttering & pacing. He did not appreciate my laughter. I'm going to try to finish the same TV show I've been watching for three nights now. Does falling asleep 5 minutes into a show mean I'm old - or leading a full & exciting (& exhausting?) life? Just the exhausting part?

Checking In.

I have been a terrible, horrible, no good blogger lately.  This month has just been jam packed with extra stuff, mostly fun, on top of my usual work/life balance issues, and y'all have taken the hit.  Not only am I neglecting this space, there are now well over 300 posts waiting in my reader - Sorry!

I don't see it improving in the near future though so am going to revert to a photo-a-day for a bit.  Maybe throw in an inane haiku to spice things up.  Oh yeah, nothing but parties around here!

This weekend we went to my SIL's family's lake house near Bridal Cave to celebrate the end of my youth.  And, as if to confirm, the entire group was yawning by 9:30pm.  Awesome.

But, there was fishing,
Beers at the dock, splashing kids,
And cake.  Always cake.

Happy Father's Day!
To mine, theirs, & dads-to-be
(I forgot your card).

Happy Father's Day

To my dad, my kids' dad, and my kids' dad's dad.
