I know it's been ages since I've documented anything, after getting all weird about documenting my pregnancy for the blog world I thought I'd be back in full force with many posts about our new and exciting life with twins but I've become a mother hen and I'm not so sure how keen I am on posting lots of things about my girls including pictures for anyone in the world to see (I mean FB is bad enough even being on super-duper privacy settings!) Before we know it V & H will be publishing their own lives online and while that already gives me anxiety I figure I at least have some time before this will become a reality! Besides the minor fact that I just don't have the feakin' time! I have my hands in waaaaayyy too many things and sadly the blog has taken a far, far left back burner....
But I do miss writing. Many days I feel as though my brain has gone to mush so today I had some time (while waiting for Dave to get home from work so I can get to work myself) and as I'm sitting here crocheting a Christmas present on this sucky-ass day in CT I just started pondering whether there was some other state or country I'd be happier living in...
Our yard has been soggy for weeeeekkkkkkksss...this year I'd even say our yard was too wet to let the dogs out to play [without needing baths before coming back into the house] more than half of the year! It's horrrrrible!
And as I've been knitting and crocheting half of my Christmas presents I could totally picture myself legs up on an ottoman in front of a wood burning stove in a little cottage on the coast of Maine. But winters there are a bit much for me! Florida is too humid. California is going to fall off the United States any day. Oregon has always been a dream of mine. Internationally I'd have to say I'd be pretty happy living in Moorea. But then there's the whole issue of leaving behind my sister and best friends. And my ties to them are very strong. So I stay in a state that doesn't thrill me because my special people (who I can't take with me if we move) fill the void with tremendous amounts of happiness and I think part of my soul would die if most of them weren't within a 30 min. drive.

First...yay! You're back!! Second, I understand your reservations about blogging and the kiddos. I read a lot of blogs and it seems like parental exposure ranges from way too many details to none at all. Maybe you can find a happy in-between. If I'm still blogging when James and I decide to have a family I'll be challenged with this issue myself. Not sure how I'd handle it either.
ReplyDeleteSecond...you better not leave CT. Ever.
That is all. Love you! xo
Oops...I guess my second "second" technically should have been a third...
ReplyDeleteHaha you're too funny! I'm stuck here....not going anywhere! LOL I just have so many family issues going on and then the grey weather on top of that for so many days just makes me grumpy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I do need to find some kind of in-between for blogging with the kids. Otherwise this blog is going to turn into a ranting, bitch fest! haha
Miss you!!
