Weekly Update

Oh, hello! Do you remember me? I can't believe it's so long since I've posted. I had such a good rhythm going but life seemed to get in the way. The funny thing is that the big reason I got derailed was because it was Spring Break and I had more family time. That's always the time that I plan to do more things that I really want to do, but in reality do less relaxing and have more organized outings.

So, my plans have been derailed for a little while but are now back on track. I think that as time passes and I'm not meeting a personal goal (about finances, exercise, sleep, etc., etc.) I feel that I need something big to jolt me back into the routine or as penance for not keeping up with my plan. To that, I say, screw it. I'm going to keep posting on my blog at least once a week and refuse to be sucked into guilt about not posting. For anyone who has known me over a long period of time, this shift from every-present guilt to acceptance and (dare I say?) compassion may be shocking.

Life has been pretty busy in the last five or six weeks. I'll post more about that in the next few days. I haven't been keeping up with my goal of knitting every day, only because I was sick and have been putting in a bigger effort to get more sleep. I have some ridiculous stories about keeping up with a two year old and almost-one year old (who said his first word today...Mama!...or more like MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMA, while crying. But I'll take it!) and have had some photographic evidence of these travails, so keep posted for an update in a day or two. Or five weeks. Whatever, guilt be damned!

I've now started the tradition of colouring Easter eggs with my daughter, which is a tradition that I have previously (and, will again in the future) force my adult siblings and friends to participate in.
