You are likely asking, "Why now?" (Or better yet, you're saying, "She's got a blog?" I had no idea!)
The answer to "Why now?" is this:
(spoiler alert!! It's NOT the fact that the last entry was in February. That's beside the point.)
I have a "to do" list of tasks to finish before Friday that is three pages long. I'm not kidding. There is no better way to avoid something than digging out a blog that's been gathering dust for nearly six months.
I also realized that I am running out of time.
See, this girl
First picture of her I ever posted on my blog. Summer, 2007
is now this girl.
She is going to be a freshman in high school in a month's time. My caboose. My finale. My youngest child.
I have four years left of this daily parenting gig before I'm an empty-nester. Four years.
It's going to fly by.
I know this because those four years of high school flew by for my oldest two, and they're jetting past at lightning speed for my third child.
I think I've logged two blog posts in the past year. Two. I didn't get many more than that the year before. If I continue with that pattern, that means there are eight--maybe ten-- posts left before it's done. Before I lose the gift of sharing a house with most of my blog inspiration, and the last little birdie flies the nest to live her life with some amount of privacy and probably a little bit of therapy.
I want a record of the last 1,491 days of this crazy and amazing ride.
