i was really trying to wait till january to start writing again. well. not really trying to wait. it just happens that life happens and as soon as i sit down to blog. well. life happens.
i've been in a funk over blogs. i get jealous of pioneer woman. how does she have time to do all THAT? really! i have 5 kids. i cook beautiful meals. i homeschool those 5 children. i take pictures. sometimes. the only thing i don't do is wrangle cattle. so, why don't i have time to write? maybe i'm not organized. maybe i'm not disciplined. maybe i'd rather stalk people on facebook. what is my problem?? this is what i've been wrestling with over the past 8 months.
so, i thought i'd give it another go around. mainly so sarah doesn't delete me from her list of college friends.
i made the MOST BEAUTIFUL THING that has ever come out of the oven (in the words of my 13 yr. old). of course, my camera was in the car (and it's really cold outside), aidan's camera was out of batteries and no one wanted to grab their phone. it was a spinach quiche. the crazy thing is that it was beautiful AND it tasted really, really great. oooo....i even made pie crust. which i have to say, i can make a great pie crust. i used to make this quiche for dinner...but it resembles breakfast too much and my dearest husband can't stand breakfast for dinner. mainly because you can't really have a beer with breakfast food.
it is the season for packing on pounds. it's cold. i just want to eat really fattening food like butter. lots of butter. why is it when cold weather comes i want to just eat casseroles, bread, and gooey desserts? like blogging, however, exercise elludes me. i think about it in the dark recess of my mind but somehow the reality of it is a fantasy. so, when you see me again you may not recognize me for all of the chins.
i really love this teen driving thing. i think it's my answer for being able to blog again. i've had TWO days of being at home. that, my friends, is a record. for the past 4 years, my life has been spent in my car driving from practice to practice and co-op to co-op we have squeezed bookwork in between. was i scared to let my eldest get out there on the road? no way. well, maybe a little. but the freedom of not having to be out there overrides any of the fear!

wow, it took me about five minutes to remember my password so I could comment!! I guess I haven't blogged in a while either. Maybe I'll give it another shot too. I love having a teen that drives. I have so much more freedom! It is a little scary but not something you can really avoid.
yes! blog. let's get back to bloggin together:).
Yayayayayay! I would never delete you. I've always had faith that you would return! And I'm so glad you eat butter too!
