It's been a while...

but about time I updated this thing...
Since we last connected, dear reader, I have got back in touch with dear friends, my son came home safe and relatively well from Iraq, my oldest son joined the US Marine Corps and left Parris Island for Missouri and Missouri for Okinawa! My darling chicklet is now a sophomore with a vengeance and I still haven't got my roof fixed...
But life is pretty good right now. Practically inactive religiously, not from a lack of testimony in the Gospel or the love of my Father, but more a lack of commitment to my community which is an awful thing, really. I have had a pretty stressful year but didn't see much of anyone from church in over a year. When I came back, people had just assumed I went inactive. I actually tried pretty hard to keep in touch with things - read my manuals, kept up with the Conference talks.. but meh... I can only do my best and the season is not right for me right now.
Life is busy.. and it's busy for everyone. I don't expect to be cossetted or babied. I don't expect anyone to take care of me. We all have our stuff to deal with. I understand.
Work is work. I love my job and I work for a great company. I have terrific people around me. I sometimes feel like I'm out of my depth with life in general but I'm pretty confident that I'm doing a decent job at work. I work hard and put in the hours - i'm the one responsible for the bills in this house!
But on the whole, I have a lot to be grateful for. My home is relatively sound, my job is as safe as any these days, my ex husband got married again (poor cow - she'll find out) and I feel healthy-ish. I still get migraines from hell but my general health is good!
I'll update more soon.
