So it’s been a while.

This post isn’t the result of a new year resolution or anything.

You see, my life was crazy last fall with a ginormous pregnancy belly taking over and shutting down my life. Then The Baby came and with her came visiting family and the holidays.

It was a wonderful few months. Meeting this new little one has been a blast. She’s been nothing but surprises from the moment we found out she was on her way. But I think we are all ready to go back to life as usual. Routine and structure have not been in our vocabulary for months. It’s been awesome at times and brutal at others.

Tomorrow we start a new normal. I don’t know what it will look like just yet, but lesson plans are done, the school room is clean, and Mamacita has been up since 4am with a baby who only wants to sleep on her. Last baby gets what she wants so first day back to school may be a short one to make room for a long nap. I mean how can I possibly resist this…

This week will be a soft start. Low expectations. High patience. Flexibility is top priority. Perfection is lowest priority. Let’s face it, I’m just hoping to make it through alive and with all three children still intact.

Here we gooooooooo…
