Well, hello!
Yes, here I am.  What a slacker, yes, I know.

So I've heard from a few people whose opinions are important to me (does my mom count?) that my blog posts have been missed.  For this I am sorry.  I know at one point there was a whole group of us who used to post regularly about our lives and our kids...
but guess what?  Life gets in the way.  I don't like excuses.  I don't like to say "I don't have the time", because as with everything in life, if we choose to make time for something, we do.  There have been many a nights (okay, so MOST nights) where I find myself sitting in the same spot on the couch playing game after game of Bejeweled Blitz on the ipad, and I "could" sit down at the home computer where all of my photos are and shoot out a quick post updating our lives around here.  And the other night when I chose not to play on my ipad?  Well, I chose to crack open a bottle of Pinot instead.  And I blessed you all by going on Facebook drunk, rather than posting while three sheets to the wind.

So there, blog followers that I may not even have left, I chose booze over you.
I said it.
I admit it.

And quite frankly, I don't feel guilty.  Well, maybe just a little bit, or I wouldn't have even wrote that, right?

To be honest, many a day go by where my naked body doesn't even get to see clean water in the form of a shower before 9:00 pm.  So to find myself sitting on a computer when my brain is fried from answering "Where daddy go?" 286 times, and picking 31 Cheerio crumbs out of my socks for the 4th time in a day, I just plain and simple don't wanna blog. 

But I would be lying to you if I told you I don't miss writing.  Not necessarily because any one of you (okay, minus my parents and sis) could really care less about the day-to-day ramblings of my life, but because like for many people, writing is my outlet.  I don't really get to chit-chat about my life with many people throughout the day.  I talk to toddlers for a good majority, and then Tim and I of course talk once he gets home, but even those conversations are limited.  Regardless of who is reading, listening, or caring, I like to get it off my chest.  And let's be honest, some of the crap I tell you about is down right FUNNY!

This is why I am going to create a new blog.

I will continue to occasionally update about our family with pictures and a few stories to boot, on this family blog.  But I'm really going to get down and dirty, giving you all a little more information than I should, on a new blog I have recently created.  It's one I've been thinking about creating for awhile now, and it's very new, so don't get too excited.  If you are interested in reading, please visit:  www.knee-deep-in-testosterone.blogspot.com

I will be keeping my kiddos and our family and location as anonymous as I can.  No first names, and very little photos as well.  This way, I can feel a bit more comfortable about spilling the beans and not being afraid that my teenage children will ever have cause to file a class action lawsuit against me for cruel and unusual punishment in the form of embarrassment.  Any such lawsuits yet to be filed?

As for a family update, I get right on that one....
