I got out of the habit of coming here and then for some reason felt a little resistant when I thought about writing. At first it was just that I was jet-lagged, or that there was so much washing to do, or that we were getting ready for the school year. Then it was that I’ve needed to catch up on studying, or replenish our winter wardrobes or…… well you get the picture.

In the meantime, my boys have been growing, learning, fighting, laughing. Me too. And A.

So I’m here, rambling aimlessly for a little while, just to flex my writing muscles and remind myself that it’s easy and fun.

I found myself missing people here too.

BeThisWay, with her kind, down to earth, financially astute writings. Kate and her calm, honest way, KatyBoo, who feels like someone I’ve known for years, GoodFountain, who is encouraging and lovely. FallenAngel whose other blog weaves words into a kind of magic. And others, all of whose blogs I visit for one reason or another.

Having written that, I’m suddenly eager to go and see how you all are, what’s happening with you.
