Absent. But not really

So. I'm sick. Sick is sort of a short non complicated word I'm using, but none the less. I feel like - because of this I'm falling spectacularly short of how I should be functioning as a wife and mother. But, I press on and hope no one notices. Something has to give somewhere, so I cut out some things, like this blog, so I could focus what little energy I have on the things that matter most.
That said...

The family is good. We just went home for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary.  I was trusted with making the cake. It was a fabulous 3 tier diamond edged lemon wonder.  We saw family we hadn't seen in forever. I saw my grandparents take vows again. It was truly beautiful.

The kids are doing ok in school. Wyatt is about to take those silly SOL tests. I think there is too much pressure put on those kids regarding those. He came home with a grade card that ranged from a C to an A.  I'll take it.
Emma is progressing and finally starting to read.  Seems her strong point is math. But she's just in kindergarten and I know that can change. She's a feisty little ball of fire.

What else? Hmmm....  Oh! I'm  singing for the Lord these days. I actually really love it.
