I am back. Or I hope to be. It has been a challenge to find the time to write. My parents are not in good health, and I travel frequently to see them. I actually live in North Dakota to be closer to them (they live in Manitoba, Canada). It has been stressful but I know that in the future this is time that I would regret not spending with them, so I do what I have to do.
I also have three children who take up a lot of time. My three year old has a new found love of the zoo. I am so thankful that zoo memberships are not too expensive. My kids love going. They love animals. My favorite thing to see at the zoo is smile on each of my children’s faces.
My youngest is a cat person. When he sees the tigers, he says, “Kitty.” One of the only words he knows. He also loves to cuddle our kitty at home. They are best friends and it is the cutest thing to see.
My oldest son has autism, and he is now a teenager. If you thought puberty was hard, try navigating it with autism. It is a challenge each day, but also a joy. I am blessed with my children, unfortunately, I am not always blessed with enough time for everything I would like to do. But I am back and hope to put more time and effort into my writings.
And of course school has started up again. I am glad school has started though, it gets me back into a goal oriented mindset and helps me stay on a schedule but it still takes a lot of time.
For those of you who seem to have the time for everything, where do you find it? I swear, I just never seem to have enough.
