I have been meaning to check in, but daily naps have taken over my brain, and so I was surprised to discover a) it's time for the delurker thread again! and b) I haven't been on the board since April! Shock. In May, some kindly buffistas helped dig my family and I out of a financial crunch, and it was lovely beyond belief. We'd gotten behind on everything and were panicking trying to figure it out. I didn't say thank you because someone was going to send a card, but I didn't get it, or I lost it (mail is a little iffy around here), and I was for some reason waiting on that to say it, and then lost track. I lose track a lot. I'm very sorry for not being more visibly thankful. You guys deserve to know how appreciated you are. It was no indication that I wasn't saying prayers of thanks for you all at the time, and still, both for that and because you're you.
Kara is in 6th grade now, and instead of the Fs and Ds (with one A) she got last year, she's got all As and Bs with one C this year. She gets funnier and more interesting every day. Aidan is in 4th grade now and doing pretty well. He was terrified because he had to switch schools, and lost the teaching group he'd had since Kindergarten, but he's doing well. He plays Plants Vs. Zombies and Angry Birds a lot, and still draws at least one something every day-haunted houses lately, along with the busses and trains. He's crazy cute and a snuggler still. Greg is still a librarian, his thyroid still isn't under control, and I still nap almost every day, though I'm trying to do better. I contacted a local friend a few days ago and discovered that it had been a year since we talked, so I'm not just neglecting you guys. Um...my house is clean, my desk has art supplies on it. I did a little bit of paid work last month. Things are going along. If you need/want to contact me, my email address is in my profile. My love is all yours. I'll try to check in again before April of 2013!
