Wow

Last night I read this post over at One Day at a Time. My reaction to this post can only be described as overwhelming. I loved reading about the current chapter in Larissa's story, and the thoughts floating around in my head are a little chaotic right now.

You know when you've just been through a very difficult, life changing season and you feel the need to journal about the lessons you are learning? Well, this is the closest thing to a journal I've kept in a while, so I am going to attempt to sort out all the stuff in my head and journal about it here.

As much as I want to keep up with the lives of my homegirls in blog land, I'm going to take a blog reading break. I will catch up soon, but right now, I need to use my computer time to unpack all of these thoughts and get them out of my head.

I won't, however, be taking a break from writing. I'm just not sure how long it will take me to get a post (or posts) ready. So, I'm taking the pressure off myself by telling you that I'm not sure when the next post will be up. I don't know how long it will take me to organize and express. And when I do finally post, it probably won't be funny or cute or chatty. So, there's your fair warning.

And just because I love you, I'm going to leave you with a few links from my archives that will help tide you over. Just in case this picture isn't cute enough to get you through the kid-story-hiatus.

Here we have a perfect picture of the twins personalities. This was their reaction to the news that they would be wearing the cold, wet life jackets and going for a trip in a boat on fun day at swimming lessons.

If you are missing cute kid stories:

try this one, and this one, and even this one.

And if you are missing pictures of my cute kids:

try this, and this not so archival one.

And if you're in the mood for a more serious read:

try this, this, and this.

And yes, I just got finished drying my hair.
