always behind

These photos of the boys are months behind, and I've just not had opportunity to post them to share.
Life is busier right now than I ever could have imagined, and I have so very very little down time, much less free time, to do anything right now. Pay a bill on time; dust, read a book, go for a walk, sit and RELAX, notice that its actually spring and almost summer already, count Jude's growing vocabulary words, work on puzzles with Ethan, sleep in (HA), clean out my closet, weed the garden, get the boys' haircut, wash the car or a million other little tasks, jobs, ideas or MOMENTS - they've all been lost off the radar and thus my life is a huge, unorganized mess and I feel I'm on an upward, muddy hill just sliding off.

Even that sentence was incoherent. I don't even have time to go back and rewrite it.

But - the boys, they're growing up all lovely and boyish all by themselves, thankfully. Jude's new word today is 'bubbles' (as in, bath). Ethan's amazing me on a daily basis with his own intellect (and astounding gift of not listening to a thing I say); Troy never stops being the most amazing dad and husband (happy fathers' day, love) and well, we all have our health. So there.

so, until next time, alienated readers (and for that I am sorry).
