Update

So...It's been a really, really long time.

Three wonderful children. The tale of two cities with a law office in each. The same old loved and hated house. One crazy dog that lives in my bathroom. That is my life now. And - for the most part - I really, really like it.

The kids keep me busy....And I keep them on the go. With the start of a new running/walking group, life has become a little healthier. The kids are really growing up quite fast. The house is still pretty much the same, but with some improvements...and some more problems. But it has roses all around it just now. And I have my little Hannah Rose now. She is really a blessing. It's amazing how easy it is to go from two to three. You just don't stress out quite so badly about all of the things that you have to do with a baby. You've been through it twice before. Things just get easier. And you have alot more confidence in your parenting ability. And I think that's what it all comes down to - confidence.

I've found that stressing out about things doesn't pay. And anger is exhausting. I don't get angry in the car. Shoot - I'm just too happy to be getting out of the house. I don't get angry about messes in the house - unless it comes from the dog. And - outside of trying to figure out how to keep the multitudes of child-shaped neighborhood vagabonds out of my yard - I don't mind most people that I come into contact with. I think that I'm getting old.

Life is good, and I am happy. I don't bake bread any more - much to my husband's regret. I am cutting carbs and working out more. And...drum roll...I start a Zumba class next month. I can't wait!

So...there's my update for any poor soul that will read this.
