Let's Try This Again

It's been seven years since my last blog post (no, that's not a cheesy movie opening). It was an experiment to begin with and apparently it didn't stick; now all the cool kids are vlogging --which is definitely not for introverted ol' me.  But I miss writing, so maybe I'll give this another shot.

So much has changed in the last seven years.  I lost a mother, a mother-in-law, and a grandmother-in-law.  We laid to rest one dog and adopted another.  I am an aunt five times over and about to be a great-aunt four times over.  I went from working part time to working full time.  I've lost weight and gained weight.  I developed a peanut allergy, and possibly lost it as well (I know, wacko, right?)

But most importantly, my daughter has grown into a teenager.  She gets all her maddening habits from me (gosh, I'm annoying to live with!) and her fierceness from her Dad.  She amazes me daily with her self confidence and kindness... and her inability to manage time.  She is a strong, independent young lady ...who can't cook herself a meal.  She's feisty and sassy but still empathetic.  She's a black belt with pointe shoes.  She's an actress and a writer.  I couldn't be more proud of the young lady she's becoming.  

So let's see where this leads --will I be able to keep it up while working full time and being a dance mom and talent manager?  We will see...
