how a full time job changed everything.

i miss this space.
like...i really missed it.
i never realized how blessed i actually was that i got to play and express myself here so deeply and for so long.
i feel so out of touch without this space.
i think of it constantly and come up with post ideas all the time but now my time to actually sit and articulate myself has diminshed a little bit. (case in point - i just realized, sitting here, that i work at 12:40 today instead of two! see - my thoughts are constantly elsewhere.)

don't get me worng - i love my new job. to some that may seem silly but to me it's great. in the span of 5 months i got hired, got my feet wet and got a promotion! i am running a little corner of the world and feel needed again. i know that sounds strange too, and i know that i am needed everyday in the running of things here but it's a different kind of needed.

and it feels great.

i do miss this space and i will be popping in from time to time but with the job, selling the house and family time it's harder than i thought.
a lot harder than i thought.
i always have this plan of jumping on here right when i get home from work and updating but then i just pushed off for someone elses plans of watching mindcraft youtube videos, checking out the lastest gossip on monster high or having a great cup of coffee & watching season three of downton abbey on netflicks - much needed un-wind time for me. then there's dinner to make, irish dancing to get to, borwnines to get too...you get the picture.
(i think the solution maybe my own laptop that i can curl in bed with??..... hhmmm....just a thought)

we have had some great adventures over the last couple of months which i have wanted to include y'all in so bad but unless i am sitting here at 3am it's just not happening.

there was our time in ottawa:

and then getting in the last skate at our place.....

and then it was spring break and we cheered tony on at his hockey game.......

and then the end of swimming lessons till the summer......

and then that time it snowed...AGAIN....

portfolio night at school.....

our one obligatory visit to the cabane a sucre....

someone lost another tooth....

tony played more hockey and won the championship......

spring FINALLY arrived and brought with it new bikes for our long-legged creatures......

and that time we put our house up for sale.

it's been a crazy ride these past couple of months and hopefully all the pieces will come together soon and maybe in the new house i can get a space for myself that i'm not in the back corner of the basement....cause really - who wants to sit back there?


i just realized this was my 500 post. seems kind of fitting.

case in point about life right now - i wrote this IN MARCH and am just putting the finishing touches on it today!my goodness.....
