2020 what, how did that happen?

Remember me?


I actually have been really missing writing, typing, journaling, blogging, storytelling, whatever this was/is. Well on a lark, I tried to log in and guess what? My company is not blocking this URL or platform anymore. And because all my time not with my family is spent at work or asleep, I usually find time to write in between meetings, eating lunch at my desk or when I'm working late and need to switch gears.


So here I am. Back after TWO YEARS. Who am I kidding, 2018 was really about blogging, I was trying to catch up from not blogging since early 2017....


Ok, so the long short - We just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. Let me pause there, because while 11 years isn't that long, our marriage is only a tween, those years have thrown some serious challenges at us. We celebrate making it through it all and doing it together!


The lastbit, my JoJo is TWO and man he is a ham. If he isn't getting attention, watch out, he'll destroy everything in sight.


The ittytbit, Maggie Moo Margaret Jane Rinehart is 6 and all the things. She is an extrovert and social, happy and as spirited as you can imagine. She loves makeup, baby dolls, one on one time with me and is the best hugger. She is also as argumentative and stubborn as you can imagine. She can turn from rainbows and sunshine to thunder and tantrums in as fast as I can say no.


The babybit, Caroline Cat is 8, but she spends her time reading, listening to music and watching videos. This tiny girls wants to be a grown up more than I want to win the lottery. Much to her dismay, her sister is the same height as her, despite the two year age difference. Also, they've both lost the same number of teeth. The OLDEST child is very frustrated to not have a bigger lead on her sister....


And of course the furbabys. We sadly had to say good by to both our grown up pets, Sammy SO SO and Franklin the Buddy Cat. It's hard to even type those words because they were the pets (children) of our adulthood.


Our new adorable puppy dog was doomed from the start because Sammy was so precious. She is, however, 1rst in the kids heart. As it should be, she is more their dog, than mine and jonathans.


Jonathan is totally against another cat, and I started to pine for one...but I might just be missing the OG fluffmonster.


Ok, not much time to type as I have to run to a meeting. But hopefully they'll be more later.
