A Fresh Start...

Hi. My name is Jessica. You might know from such places as, this blog and perhaps Facebook. I have been a little lax over the past few months, I seem to have lost my passion for writing. I'm not shocked really. It seems to happen to me every few months... I go into a bit of a writing depression. I fall behind on what I feel are "noteworthy events", and then I begin to kick myself for not journaling them all. I try to continually tell myself that it's my blog, that I'm not doing it for anyone other than me...But that's not really the truth now is it? I mean you're reading it, and it's likely that you know a few other folks who pop by on occasion. So really I'm not just writing for myself... I'm writing for a select group of people who are genuinely curious about what's going on in my world...
As for what's been going on? To sum it up briefly... Lots. We've had lots going on. Really, it's far too much to backtrack on now. And really let's all be honest, the past is history. I'm not going to flip through my datebook and try to rehash the most noteworthy events of the past 6 months and try to fill in the gaps. Nobody enjoys that. My writing previously has been pretty spontaneous, and I'd like for it to continue that way. I will say though that I've been happy... I've been content... And most importantly, we've all been healthy. I'm an incredibly busy Mom to five incredibly adorable, intelligent, nearly perfect (in my opinion) children... I am going to do my best to hold myself accountable for this blog again. It's important to me, and I know that it's important to some of you as well...

Ok, so were we sending each other telepathic messages?

You have a very sweet family, and I really enjoy coming by to see how you're all doing. It's quite lovely to get a glimpse into somebody's life - particularly when it's so very different from one's own! All the very best!

[Charlene]

It should just be fun and no pressure at all. I would have a blog but just don't think I am all that interesting. I enjoy yours though! Glad you are back - although I love your posts on FB too. So don't leave FB - okay? Please? Ever? Okay - no pressure there either. :)

[Audrey]

Yeah! I knew you could come back. The kids are getting so big and you look fantastic.
