kay

it's been a big week. a huge week. i got home from the hospital with my newborn son, blinked my eyes & he started kindergarten. craziness (and maybe just a teeny exaggeration of the actual birth-to-k time frame).
slightly eager for his first day, all 2.5 hours of it.
welcomed back by "the boss of the school"
s'up, dude?!? how was your summer? i missed you!
find cubby: check.
choose folder: check.
self portrait...
...CHECK!
that's all to report from kinderview.  twas a short day, but a great one, and i'm OHHH SOOO emotionally wrecked heavy-hearted proud of my big boy :)
star of my world

act two

new year's resolution:  resume blog.  

fail.

lenten goal (in addition to other MUCH more lenten-appropriate promises):  resume blog.  

fail fail.

summer plan:  survive have fun with henro.  blog schmog.  (huh?)

success.  yay, me :)

enough messing around.  back to business.  butt in gear.  nose to the grind.  whatever...the vow is to spend at least an hour a week working to redeem myself and resume sharing way more details about my kiddo and our perspectives on this crazy world than anyone needs/cares/wants to know.  (luckily, to my knowledge, no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing the read.  just sayin'.)

being the busy lunatic i tend to be, one might wonder how the hay i plan to squeeze in blogging amidst the glamorously riveting life i lead.  easy peasy:  i'm gonna force myself to take much needed breaks from all my ironing, slaving over a hot stove, scrubbing bathrooms, cleaning baseboards and weeding flower beds.  you can stop laughing now.  seriously.  stop.

ok, so maybe since my last entry...in NOVEMBER (!!!)...i haven't become any more domesticated, but i have been going 4782937682907289067484950 mph doing lots of other stuff. and, while i still have lotsa stuff on my plate, i've decided to allocate a little "free" time on thursday nights to writing.  were i a mathlete, the equation might look something like this...

henro + little gym class = (mimi @ coffee or book shop) * one hour

stay tuned.  it's good to be back.

lotsa buttuh

i am incredibly blessed to have spent another thanksgiving pigging out feasting on cornbread dressing, candied yams, green bean casserole, "punkin" pie, roast, rice & gravy, apple cake, crab & eggplant casserole, pecan pie and - of course - our annual jambalaya stuffed butterball...the same delicious meal i've savored on all of my thirty-five turkey days, a spread my grandmother begins preparing weeks in advance with lots of love and at least 7482906289 sticks of butter.  and, although he ate way more kitkats & dumdums than gobbler & gravies, i'm thankful beyond the moon that my kiddo gets to know & love & share the same holiday traditions i've cherished since childhood.  the food is fantastic & abundant, but the presence of four generations is a gift without measure!

henro's first fanksgiving (try saying that 10x!)...
2006...
2007...
"free" great-grandsons
2008...
2009...
it's a girl!  FINALLY!!!

2010 pics???  fail.  well, semi-fail :(  mimi was unable to assemble the munchkins for a group shot with mama, but i did snap random pics throughout the day...which i will share once i've had a chance to upload.  right now i've got a date with henro, the couch & dvr'd chuck brown.  

happy black friday!
