I've been avoiding you

It's true. I have been avoiding this blog. For many reasons.

1. I have been so busy lately - so incredibly, overwhelmingly busy. I only have the few hours after the kids are in bed, before I collapse in bed (until my 4 month old wakes me up) to just SIT and do nothing. But I'm so busy, I have to use those precious hours for photo editing (more on that later) and other various projects. Never mind cleaning my house. That will just have to wait. But I want to cry when I look at the piles of junk in EVERY. SINGLE. ROOM.

2. I've had some devastating news lately - namely, my niece will be having brain surgery to remove a cyst on Friday morning. Also, my sister (her mom) has been diagnosed with leukemia. Yes. You heard that right. It is crazy. She felt tired, had a few lumps in her neck, and went to the doctor. They did blood work and sent her to the hospital. It's a really long story, and if you want to read it you can find it here. I've been thinking and worrying about this oh, about all the time lately, and haven't been thinking of much else...including what to write about here.

3. I go online 90% of the time on my phone, and I am not even close to patient enough to type a blog entry on my phone.

I'm sure there are more, but I have to go. Gotta edit some more photos. Stay tuned - I've been really busy with photography lately (woot!) and will post some favorites soon! Keep my sister and niece in your thoughts and prayers, interwebs. Many thanks.
