Truth Time

I really hate blog posts that go on and on about why posting has dwindled, apologizing for life getting in the way of blogging. I've done it in the past, and I've vowed to try to keep them to a bare minimum.

However, I'm sure you've noticed it's been a bit quiet here lately, so I feel that - though annoying - I owe you guys an explanation.

Here's a rundown of what's been going on:

1. Remember when I said I started a new job? Well, there was a reason they hired me - because they needed help handling a lot of work. So that has been keeping me quite busy for the past couple of months. I work hard for the money! ;)
2. I had a bit of a health scare a few weeks back - while at work, I got really fatigued, lightheaded and nauseous, and just generally felt moody and awful. I had a blood test to get to the bottom of what was going on, and discovered I'm deficient in the sunshine vitamin (aka: Vitamin D). I'm on a prescription strength supplement now, and I'm already feeling MUCH better.
3. Owen has entered the Terrible Twos...6 months early. Holy cow, can that child scream when he doesn't get what he wants (I think he gets that from me, poor kid). He's gotten a LOT better over the past few weeks due to us taking suggestions from family and friends, like ignoring him when he's having a tantrum over nothing, calmly explaining why what he's doing is not acceptable behavior, etc.
4. The house purchase that didn't happen quite as we had hoped, which I've already told you about.

Since I'm starting to feel better, posts will become more frequent in the coming weeks. Thank you all for your patience, I just felt like I needed to get my footing back and prioritize myself and my health for the time being.
