As you might have guessed, we've been pretty busy lately. We've managed to be away every weekend for multiple weeks in a row on camping trips to the mountains nearby. The weeknights have been consumed by music practice, babysitting, rescuing the garden from squirrels and cleaning up after or packing for the next weekend. The weekdays have both of us neck deep in big projects at work, with more piled on before we can complete the task at hand.
Some complicated family dynamics, a lot of stress and not enough time in the day for life to do its thing have made for some rough waters along our stretch of the creek. With emotions so high, life-changing decisions get made and then rethought a day later. Then, we're back where we started. Not a lot of what we're going through is fit for the blog, but I thought of a way to sum it up for you.
