And I have no idea why, but I am soooo super tired lately. I am skipping prime nap-time right now for the sake of updating on a rather uneventful life lately. I mean, really, what's to say?
We're still married.
We're still totally adjusting to the blended family issues that arise nearly DAILY. Blending parenting styles or expectations or how we receive and give love... there are just THINGS that people learn with time, and we're on that path every day. I have to remember that Will all of a sudden has four kids in his home EVERY DAY-- something he hasn't had for a few years. And on top of it all, he has teenagers, so raising a three-year old is taking a whole new step back into parenting that he's long grown out of. Me, I have teenagers now. I have NO idea what I'm doing, and even my best attempts at faking-it sometimes seems like it's not working. With Em living here, it's a whole different set of rules and emotions and confusion-- and I'm talking about ME. Not to mention HER emotions. It really is true that you appreciate your parents a WHOLE LOT MORE once you have teens of your own.
Some common things people ask me about are the renovations on the house-- we're waiting until after Christmas to start on that. This year, we plan on having a blue Christmas. well, blue carpets. With green and gold decorations. :)
What's really to say? It's funny- I have so many 'things' I could gripe and complain about. Things about where I live, or my children, or my new husband, but really, it doesn't seem to be something I want or need to burden the blogosphere with. Do I want to complain and be THAT person All. The. time? not really. Because, when I step back and look at everything, I am so super blessed.

Great post, good to see you're still kicking online once in awhile!! Lately I've been writing in my paper journal and I feel the same way about seeing what nit picky things I can say about the holiday season coming up and having to mesh traditions and such. But I don't want to be a complainer when I have SOOOO MUCH!!!! I hear ya.
Word verification: Immiso-the 3 year old you talk of seeing me after a long time; her first words to me. OR the way gringos think spanish people translate immersion.
I totally think publishing your blog would be the best way to go. Just think......personal journal, family history, scrapbook of photo albums....all done. All at the same time. You can't beat that. I love killing several birds with one stone whenever I do something. Time is precious. Right? Hope you feel better soon.....not so tired. ; D
Oh my gosh I don't know what I would do if all the sudden I was given a teenager to raise. Knowing me I'd probably get walked on because I want acceptance so much. That's hard stuff!
