Am I back?

I've been thinking of coming back... some days I feel like blogging is the perfect way to let it all out! I kind of miss it, but I feel like I barely have any extra time to devote to anything other than life, work and my family. I am going to give it go and see where it takes me....

Over the past couple years nothing major has changed, we are still a family of 4 - Steve, me and the 2 hooligans.
- We have said good-bye to one of our beloved family pets Misty, and added Dexter a German shorthaired pointer to the mix. (otherwise known as "the man dog").
- Ty is still a difficult child to parent, but now we have some firm diagnosis's that explain his behaviors. He's been diagnosed with RAD, PTSD and ADHD. I've been doing therapeutic parenting and lots of his behaviors have diminished.
- Tamaya is in junior k & ballet. She is loving every moment of it. She is fairly easy to parent - testing the waters once in a while.
- Steve is still in the military, but because of his back injury hasn't had to leave home for any exercises, or deployments. We are still kind of waiting to find out what the grand plan is for him, but in the meantime we just don't worry about the "what if's".
- I'm back to doing childcare in my home and have a great group of children that I spend my days with. I have a great group of friends that surround me. I've sort of, kind of, started a weight loss program that I haven't been so great at. HA!! I have all these GRAND plans for myself and maybe, just maybe I will follow through and make myself a priority.

Until the next time...
