Back in the Saddle

It has been so very long since I wrote. A dear friend recently asked me if I was going to start blogging again and I answered that I didn't know but it made me want to write again. The thing is, I haven't been writing anywhere for the last 8 months. In the past, sometimes I would be silent on one blog while writing up a storm on another or writing something elsewhere but I haven't been writing anywhere...except for that one little rant I helped Ty write to his school principal (truth be told - I wrote - Ty watched and edited). Rest assured this was not a school assignment, it was merely a giant complaint about his school's lunch system.

But I digress...I do miss writing. I have been at school. Beauty school to be exact. It is weird, I know. But I did it and I had fun. I even learned some skills. I finished last week with all my hours and criteria at school so all I need to do now is go to the state capital and take the State Cosmetology Board's written exams and then I will have a certificate that will allow me to put fake nails on people and/or remove their body hair with hot wax.

School has also ended for Mo, Tmo and Ty. That was Friday, last. They had friends over for the annual Ice Cream for Dinner Party. Then yesterday Tmo turned 15 so there was that party too. So this means that I now have a 16 year old, a 15 year old and 12.5 year old. Crazy.

In other news, I got married on May 13 to the best guy. He is better than anyone my imagination could have conjured for me and even though it has been an adjustment to learn to live with someone again and share a bed and a room with someone again, he has managed to earn even more of my respect and admiration. Turns out, I like things my way and for the last eight years, I have gotten my way. Being single has a way of facilitating self-absorption. If it weren't for having kids, who make being self-absorbed difficult, this transition would have been a lot more difficult.

Anyway...that's about all the riding...err..writing I can manage after having been out of the saddle for so long but I am hoping I will muster up some discipline and get back out here again. I think I have some stuff to say.
