I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkk ..............

So I got away from the whole blogging thing for quite a while, 4 years at last count! But to be fair I have been very, very busy. Busy starting, successfully running and ultimately closing an animal rescue (don't judge me, animals are amazing, it's people you can't trust), busy raising two very active boys, busy having the ever lovin' hell scared out of me when they found my youngest had a bad kidney (2 surgeries and a full year of pain and discomfort later we are finally doing better), busy keeping up with our own 3 dogs, 1 foster dog and 2 cats, and busy getting old FAST. And now it's time to turn the focus back on writing, on blogging, and on communing with you fine folks. Hey at my age, it's important to keep the mind as well as the body going! You'll notice I've changed up the feel of everything here to better reflect where I am in my own journey through this chaos driven life. No longer do I chase after toddlers picking up food and soothing boo-boos all day. Now it's on to chasing after two boys, picking up baseballs and dirty clothes and yelling about homework instead. Hope you'll stick around and enjoy the ride.
