And Hi, How Are You?

It has felt like our household has been really busy these past few months.  I mean, we are, and we aren't.

It isn't like I'm off at board meetings a few nights a week, or like my husband is out training to run ultra-marathons.  But life with these two boys of ours just seems so full.

Most days we end up together as a family somewhere between 4:30 and 5:30, depending on if I squeeze a Target run in after work.  The boys make up for all of the time they lost while j was at school and they run around the house (or outside now that it nice in Minnesota) playing nicely.  And loudly.  Big J and I stare off into the distance and decompress from our very different days.  Often J nods off on the couch, a result of his early mornings and hard work.  Eventually we realize we need to feed the locals so one of us heads into the kitchen to cook up something that I'm sure isn't particularly great for their little growing brains and bodies.  The boys eat, run around some more, and eventually I get them settled into bed.  Often I'm asleep before the youngest is.

And just like that, another day is over.  I lose entire weeks and am shocked to realize we're heading for the 4th month of the year.  Already.  Speaking of which, when did tomorrow turn into Friday?

And now, while I'm stealing a few minutes, I realize that I don't want it to be any different.  I wouldn't give up this full house for an empty calendar or blank to-do list.

Although I would prefer to not have a spring cold right now, and I would like a few extra minutes each day to catch up.  I've missed a few birthday greetings in the past week and feel badly that I never even got a birthday greeting tweet out to my ladies.

But, I know your lives are just like mine, so let's catch up.

How are you?
