Yes, it does. I know, because it's been happening to me. I have been posting regularly at The Memory Boutique's blog on a weekly basis, but rather than copying that and re-posting here, I wanted to post blog-worthy posts for my blog. And do you think I made time to do that? Nope. I did now, though!
What have I been doing since December? Working! What else do I do? Seriously, though, we had a blessed Christmas. What a wonderful celebration with our families. New Year's was uneventful but fun. We had our usual feast of crab legs. Over-stuffed ourselves and stayed up to watch the ball drop.
That snow I said was coming? Well, it never really came. Neither did the cold, so that explains what happened to my job at the ski lodge. I started 2 1/2 weeks later than usual and I ended 3 weeks earlier. Essentially our winter never occurred. And now? In March? We're wearing shorts and the kids have already been to the lake 3 times now to swim! It's almost 80 degrees every day. Along with the mild temperatures comes severe weather. Last week we had our first tornado watch for the season, a month earlier than normal. There were a number of severe weather reports but thankfully, it went all around us. Ann Arbor, Michigan DID experience a tornado that caused a 10-mile path of destruction. WEIRD weather, that's for sure!
And that brings me up-to-date! Working VERY hard on my daughter's Odyssey of the Mind team. I'm head coach this year. Head coach = no sleep, very stressed and looking forward to competition next week. If my kids can pull it off (they haven't been practicing their lines!) I think they have a great chance to go to state competition. If they don't get their lines down? Well, let's hope they're practicing today! =)
