I'm Baaaaack!

I have been neglecting this poor blog for a few months now.  I know, I am a bad blogger.  In my defense, I have started a new job that gets me up at an early hour and while I am off at 1, I do have three children and all of their activities, not to mention normal household duties and errands to run.  Plus I need some down time.  Time to read, to watch T.V., but that time is hard to find as well.

So, enough with the excuses already.  Here I am, please, hold your applause.  HeeHee.

So, what to write about?  I could write about how we have not had a winter-really.  In mid-March, there were days when the temps went into the upper-eighties.  Then we hit Spring break and it was in the fifties.  Last week, winter came.  Next week is May.  I am not sure which end is up.

I could write about books I am reading-a new biography on Queen Elizabeth II, some Pat Conroy, and if I could snag a copy from one of my kids or my husband, I would like to read the Hunger Games.  I think I will have to wait for summer break for that one though.  The hype has reached Mount Everest heights around here and as soon as I start reading a copy, it find it's way into the clutches of someone else's hands.

I could write about my plants blooming a month ahead of time and my dismay as I was so looking forward to separating some of my Hostas and having many new plants for free.  Now they are as big as they would be in June and not being sure if they are too big to separate, I will err on the side of caution and leave them alone until next Spring.  *Sigh*

I will tell you about my excitement that next weekend is the Kentucky Derby.  I hope I am able to go to the Derby one day, to take part in all of the fun and wear big , beautiful hat.  I love hats.  And to have a mint julep-which I will make next Saturday in abundance.  They are heavenly.

I could write about needing to have my hair cut and high-lighted(is that a word?) but I think only I would find that interesting.

I think I need to go and figure out a proper post-but then again, this blog is really just about my everyday life-I hope you have found something you can relate to.

Thanks for reading, I will be back-sooner rather than later.
