Winter was particular dark this year. I didn't realize it until lately. My house is a mess and I have lost track of most routines that I used to hold sacred. Most of my energy has been put into merely surviving the seemingly daily onslaught of new illnesses and hurdles. It recently occurred to me that it has been almost six months since Mavis died and I haven't written about that experience at all. Yeah...maybe later. But with that "anniversary" comes the realization that my life has been slowly spiralling downward and inward for SIX MONTHS!! I have been less social and involved with my normal circle of friends and we haven't participated in as many activities as we normally do. Obviously, that has a lot to do with isolating the kids since they have been battling pink eye, h1n1, fevers, sore throats, ear infections, coughs and runny noses. Gee, am I forgetting anything? But, I have been WAY to comfortable with the isolation. It seems that whenever I do take the kids out to an activity I am confronted with awkward interactions from unsuspecting people with genuinely good intentions.
No more!
With Spring so close, I am committed to getting back out there. Today we are heading out to the park, fish hatchery and a picnic...with friends! I will get this house (and myself!) whipped back into shape. (Maybe with pictures to prove it?)
