Crazy Busy Life

My sincerest thanks to you if you're reading this - I know I've been a terribly unfaithful blogger lately.  Times...they change.  Remember back in the day when I'd flood your brains with 3 or 4 posts every day?!  I can hardly remember having that much to say....never mind the time to sit down and write about it.  Lately, it's more like "what in the world do I have to say...and who would want to read it anyway?  I don't know anything!"  So again, thanks friends, for sticking around :)

Life has been nuts since school got out.  Dentist appointments, zoo trips, "concerts" on our piano, birthday parties, library trips, planting flowers, vacuuming the sand off my kitchen floor that's supposed to be staying in the sandbox....you know how it is.

I've also been working myself silly lately, trying to prepare for the little art show I signed up for.  I've been up until 1 AM for several nights now, getting photos processed and ordered.  I'm blowing my savings, but having lots of fun :)

That picture up there is of my little Thomas enjoying his Aunt Tiffany's birthday cake.  You know how hard it is to remove moist and gooey chocolate cake from the nostrils of someone who can't yet blow their nose?  Hard.  But the smile on his face made it worth it.

Can I just tell you the sweetest thing that happened right now?  I just about had a heart attack when I realized that we're out of cold and fizzy caffeine.  I sent my best friend (husband) an email titled "crisis", and the text was "NO COKE!"

Luke was on his lunch break, so he stopped by with a Coke about one gallon in size.  Now that, my friends, is LOVE.  Real, true, amazing love.  

I met him in the driveway to collect my drug Coke, and to deliver a kiss.  When I came in the house, Clara said..."Who was that?"

"My hero"

"Who?"

"My best friend"

"Who?"

"My savior for today."

"Yeah, but WHO WAS IT?"

"Your Daddy"

Sometimes love is patient, kind, and unselfish.  But sometimes, love delivers caffeine right to your doorstep.
