Writing Again

After a little over six weeks of not writing, I finally feel inspired again. Life has been busy, insane, and overall non stop. The lifestyle of any mom I am sure. It is funny looking back again on all the things I said I would never do when I was a mom that now I eat my words on. I remember saying I would never let my child eat fast food ever, and now I laugh as best described by my friend Linda as a true mom is one that can on a busy night manage to pull out of the drive threw pull a french fry out of a bag crank the air conditioning on full blast in the dead of winter saying "give mommy just one minute to cool it off". :) In the middle of making perfect plans for all our high expectations life happens. We don't eat out all the time but there is something to be said about the occasional treat of Chick-fil-A. In other failed promises to myself, I also remember saying I would never buy my child a musical instrument, but tonight Isla rocked out to her new drumset and tamboreen (the result of leaving daddy and his princess in the toy area after Isla mastered the words please daddy) while days like today make me sure that all things in life will one day go full circle. My poor parents endured two years of my quest to be a world famous violist and then an additional year of attempting to be the next Kenny G with my saxophone before I finally gave in and joined the choir for the only reason of not having to carry a huge musical instrument home each day. At the end of the day you only want the best for your kids so I have a feeling in the not so distant future I will be signing out an instrument for the local school band praying she has some ounce of talent and picks something small and not to loud.

Besides the band that started in our house this weekend we enjoyed a traditional Colorado springtime, 78 on Saturday and snow and 30 on Sunday. Even after three years here I don't know if I will ever get use to the bipolar days of spring. I think no matter where you live you always wish for perfect weather, but I am pretty sure after living all over the place these last 8 years perfect weather in one state doesn't either exist or I have yet to find it.

I have lots of new pictures I still need to edit, but I will attempt to keep up on my blog on a weekly basis again. I love to write and I am excited to keep it caught back up again :)
