Mayhem & Truth

Wow. Where have I been? Back in the middle of May, I was in the process of writing a post called Mayhem & Truth to explain the few weeks that I had been neglecting my blog. The month of May is always so busy for us around here. It starts with Macy's birthday, and ends with the end of the school year craziness (field trips, projects, carnivals, and concerts). Throw in the mix, some nice weather and three kiddos with cabin fever, and you have the recipe for mayhem.




But now it's the middle of...ahem...July! What's my excuse? That's where the truth part comes in, and probably the biggest reason I haven't been around. The truth is, times are tough right now, and I'm having a hard time putting on a good face. I know things will get better, but for now it's a struggle. I never imagined I would be a single mother, raising three wonderful (but challenging) kids on my own. I miss the mom...the person...I used to be. I know I'm not giving my best, because my best is buried by a lack of time, money, and energy. But it is what it is. I will just have to keep digging. Bare with me.
