Curve Balls and Roller Coasters!

I guess the thing about having kids is that you never really get to settle into 'normal', right?  Like, when you're pregnant you have all these grand delusions about how relaxed and fun life is going to be and then you have the baby and you're all sleep deprived and crazy. But you think it's okay because it's temporary and soon enough life settles into a routine and here comes that relaxed fun 'movie' family that you were picturing. 
And then babies become toddlers and the balance shifts, and toddlers become pre-schoolers just when you think you've got them figured out. So you get through that and you get through the early school years which are kind of intense and all of a sudden you've got high school kids on your hands and you think 'I've got this now, I'm a PRO!'. 
Except you're never a pro because the life rollercoaster never stays in neutral.

Stay with me here peeps.  So on Thursday night last week my back went out again. Not the I'm-going-to-get-my-drunk-on-and-party kind of out, more like the I'm-a-sadistic-medieval-torturer-and-I'm-going-to-slowly-suck-away-your-will-to-live kind of out.

Saturday morning began with a few tears of self pity, woe is me kind of stuff. Spent the day on the couch, in a semi-supportive semi-reclined position. More pity party stuff as I whinged and moped and generally brought everyone down. 
Sunday began even worse, so I did what a…

JUNE 1ST 2017
It's June 1st.  JUNE FIRST TWENTY SEVENTEEN
Revelation time: Life Doesn't Stop. 
It's not a new blog, but it's a new start for this blog.  From today, June 1st 2017 this blog is about our goals and achievements, rather than whining or complaining that life hasn't dealt us the hand we hoped for. 
So here goes: 
I am about to be held publicly accountable to the goals I am committing to today. 
They are: 
Practice Gratefulness Every Day. 
Use this blog to post a quick photo update everyday, just like Facebook but without the distraction and chaos that I see over there. 
Remember to count our blessings rather than focusing on things we can't change. 
Doing one simple sketch a day, every day. 

I am also going to be taking ten minutes a day to read, something I love doing and haven't done in a very long time. That's not really something others can hold me accountable for online, but still. 
Half way through 2017, and I have finally decided that saying "I…
