Are You Still Here?

I had this vision in September. I thought I would post, daily even, on the magic in my daily, routine, humdrum life.

As you can see, that vision has not come to fruition.

At all.

Most days I forget I even have a blog.

I've even stopped reading a great many blogs that I used to stalk daily.

Something about all this magicalness just making life a bit too busy.

But I have news and so I remembered that I do indeed have a place that I can share my news. (Because really, I don't have anyone in real life who will listen....pathetic, but true.)

First of all, my children have grown. I know, it's expected. But my oldest (12) grew 5+ inches in the last 12 months. 5+ inches?! Seriously - I don't think I ever grew that much in one year! He's passed me up and I (finally) bought him some clothes that fit (his old ones - you know, the ones I bought last spring - were starting to be tight high waters and not just, "I'm growing too big for my pants" tight but "creepy stalker sexual predator" tight. Yeah. They had to go.) and now he suddenly looks like a man. A young man, true, but certainly not a child.

It makes me feel sad.

Until he opens his mouth and then I remember that he's no where near close to ready to leave the house!

Q and Eliza have each grown about 2.5". Not nearly as dramatic as their brother but enough to bump them up in size and make Eliza eligible to ride the local water slide. (Because we have one now. Ever since June. I tell you, this little burg is growing and growing.)

Other important news, I have a job.

I know - you thought I worked for the family business. Well, I still do that (sorta) but now I have a real job (read: one that gives me cashable paychecks) that requires me to show up on time and actually work and not just play games and surf the web. I know. It's a bit of a "YEA!" and "damn." all at the same time.

And as far as today's magic? It's not early release. *smile*

The downside - I'm working until 6p so it doesn't really matter to me.

The upside - maybe, just maybe, (if I believe in fairies and magic) dinner will be ready when I get home.
