Recap

...when you're told by your teenage daughter that you need to blog, you've been away way too long. Just saying. So, she named the post. I really wish I was a better blogger! If I said I haven't had time, I'd be lying. I have a little time...a little. I just choose to spend it doing other mundane things...like playing Tetris Blitz on the iPad. There has definitely been a lot going on in The Knight Life, so here is a quick photo recap.

Right Here Waiting...

Oh.
   My.
      Word.

Life is so busy. There has been so much going on, and I knew it had been an eternity since I was last here; since I even last visited a single blog or really thought about posting. I have all of these fantastical ideas for posts swimming around in my head, and yet there seems to be no time or inclination lately to actually sit down and put them into print. I just wanted to tell y'all that I am still here. And this blog and all of the bloggers that I usually adore reading posts from are always right here waiting for me to take the time to share with them. What has kept me away from you? Well. These are the top ten things (in addition to Mother's Day, Father's Day, 4th of July, Lefty's first prom, our last dance recital, cheer try-outs for Lefty and Boo)...

1. Finishing another year in kindergarten. Finishing always seems to take so much out of me!
2. Beginning preparations for the new year in kindergarten. It will be my eighth year! Wow!
3. Professional development meetings for new things happening in our state regarding education.
4. Staying home and spending time with all four of my kiddos. For the first time ever, we chose to have them during the first part of summer, rather than in the middle. I am really liking it this way.
5. Having and recovering from surgery. Nothing serious...just a boob job and a touch of liposuction. I am at three weeks post-procedures, and I am loving the results of both!!!
6. Getting to be an Aunt for the second time! Weston is so precious, and Carson is the best big brother!
7. Working on the garden that would be. Chris keeps saying that this is just not the year for my garden. It has really sucked. I still have hopes that it will just be a late bloomer. Literally.
8. Becoming the mother of a 16 year old daughter. There are no words. 
9. Throwing a Sweet Sixteen bash. Hilarious!
10. Preparing to get a business license for my mesh obsession. 

I do have pictures, I swear. Uploading them is just another thing that I have not yet gotten around to. But I will. Promise. In the meantime, enjoy the ones that I do have!

Shopping, Spa Day, and Hogs...Oh My!

This evening wraps up what was a four and half day weekend for me. It was lovely!

• three hour nap (don't judge, my aunt was visiting)

Saturday:

• Hubs and I snuck away for a couple of days
• shopping...jeans two sizes smaller and new bras because the ta-tas are shrinking fast
• dinner at Texas Land and Cattle...usually love this place, but a bit disappointing this time
• a quick run into Charming Charlie; why didn't I think of a color coded accessory store???
