Yeah....Yeah...

Okay, so I am a little late....well, more like 5 months late. But hey, who's counting??? Seriously, I am so sorry for neglecting my blog. It is not like I have forgotten about y'all. It is just that I have been preoccupied. Yes, facebook IS part of it. BUT, NOT all of it. Things have been crazy for the last couple of months....from lots of visitors in spring, to tons of end of the year school activities, to a busy summer. Yet, during all the hustle and bustle, I realized that I was missing something. Well, I am always missing something (mainly my sanity), but something that I truly enjoyed.....my blog. I know it has not always been the most exciting, or most glamourous, or funniest, BUT to me it was enough. It was my way of letting things out. It was a way to talk to myself without people looking at me like I was crazy. It was a way to show off my kids and family without looking like a total arrogant snob. It was a way to "connect" with all of my family and friends that I miss terribly. I guess in a way it was my release....it was a way to keep a part of my sanity. SO, I am BACK. YES....this time it IS for real. I can not promise that I will up date every single part of my day, each and every day. But I will keep up with all the important stuff, or at least what I feel is important. I will try my hardest to keep up with pics, since not all of my family is on facebook. It may be 3-4 times a week, it may be once a week. I will do everything possible to update at least once a week. So.....ready or not...here I come......AGAIN!

YES...we ARE alive!!!!

Okay...SO....it has ONLY been 2.5 months since my last blog. Yeah...Yeah...I don't want to hear it. Like I don't already know that I am a tad bit behind. Come on, it is NOT like you missed much. I mean we only had a couple minor events in the last couple of months. Nothing big....only Thanksgiving, Christmas, my dad & sissy visiting, winter/snow in the "lovely" midwest, New Years, oh and that little thing called the Inauguration. Only a few hundred pics of the kids. You, know nothing big.

Okay, Okay. I am just trying to make myself feel better. It is not working. I feel guilty. I feel like I have abandoned a loved one. It is not my fault though. Well, it is.....kind of. The truth is that I have been cheating on all of you. I am sorry. I never meant for it to happen. But....it was so tempting. I told myself it would ONLY happen ONE time. ONE time. JUST once. Yeah.....sure, you have heard that before. That one time turned into once a week. Then once a day. Then once an hour. Next thing I knew I was totally wrapped up in my new love affair. This NEW love that I am talking about......the one that has kept me away from all of you.....my newest guilty (but OH SO fun) pleasure.................

..........................FACEBOOK.

Yep it is true. That little devil is what has kept me away from all of you. And it has been bad. I have shared EVERYTHING over there, from our pics to what we have been doing. AND for this I apologize. BUT, I will redeem myself. Starting right NOW. I am OFFICIALLY back to blogging. BUT, I must say, that I have to keep a little "somethin'-somethin' " on the side. You know...a little back up. I can NOT just walk away from FB. I can't. Not just yet! SO for now, you will have to share the Smith Family.

I have so much to update y'all with. Tons of pictures to share. SO...here we go. Let the fun begin.....AGAIN!
