Well, I have few good reason for this; but I'm determined not to let these "distractions" keep me from writing. Even though it may not be as often as I like.
First off, Andy's schedule has changed quite a bit these last two months. He's neck deep in field training! He's loving it, but we are basically two ships passing in the night these days. When I'm awake and at work, he's sleeping. When I'm sleeping, he's working.
Honestly, I feel like a single mom for half the week. When I'm discouraged or just dog tired, I tell myself "It's just for a season.... just a season."
That's reason #1 for not blogging.
As a side note, a couple of months ago, we got to watch Andy get sworn in as an official Sheriff Deputy. I almost missed it due to not leaving the house early enough, getting stuck behind the slowest driver on the planet, and then not being able to unlock any of the doors to the jeep when I finally arrived!!
I made it though, and it was very special. One of the most important days in Andy's life.
Reason #2. Just life. Work. Taking care of an active 3 year old. Making time for family. Trying to keep my house from looking like it needs to be on an episode of Clean House.
Reason #3. Lily turned 3 in January. Can you believe she's 3? I can't! So began the preparations for her Veggie Tales party. This is worthy of it's own blog post.....coming soon. So you see, the Bauers have been a tad busy.
Reason #4. On January 1st (at 2 a.m.!!), I found out our family of 3 will soon be a family of 4! It took 2 more home tests and 2 blood tests to truly convince me that I am having a baby. And now that I have the nausea, the desire to devour large amounts of food, and the need to pee and pee and pee there's no denying it.
Needless to say, we are very excited for Baby Bauer, but the days of staying up past 10 p.m. ( and lately, being able to button my pants!!) are gone.
Blog or sleep, blog or sleep? Sleep wins out every time.
I had a feeling 2011 would be a year of change. I just had no idea how much change and how quickly it would come. No matter how "not in control" I feel at times (well, most of the time); I can rest in the fact that God is in control, all the time.
Bring it on 2011! I'm excited for what lies ahead.
