Catch-Up

I skipped a long period in blogging, and, after having jumped back in, I feel the need to fill in some gaps. Between having no computer of my own over the summer and expressly trying to be in the moment with my kids, I didn't pause to reflect and post here. Sooooo....what has gone on? A couple of trips to the Bay Area (once for my dad's 60th Bday and once for Peter's and my 40th Bday (hurrah!)), the birth of Annabelle Olivia King (GORGEOUS!), loads of swimming, some great days at the beach, some fun parties, enjoying our Apple TV, and playing. Philip on the ultimate job search. Yoga. 11-Day Detox Diet (why wasn't I documenting *that* on a daily basis? Wow!). Favorite book of the summer = Barbara Kingsolver's new one. Incredible growing and developing amazing beautiful children. Now looking for every angle I can garner to have a positive attitude re: returning to work, such as:
  • lucky to work in school with kids
  • lucky to have a job
  • lucky to work only 3 days/week
  • really enjoy a good deal of the work
  • work with a lot of good people

I am trying to resolve the workload issue in a direct and productive manner. I am so bored of hearing myself talk about it, that something's got to give.

Other than that, I am also looking forward to the fact that Henry is now of age where it is much easier to have a babysitter (thanks, Grandma, Grandpa, Chris, and Eric!), so that we can actually get back to going on dates (big smiles, as I do love my husband oh-so-much).

Now time to enjoy every last drop of summer fun. I do feel so grateful and happy in this life.
