Hello Autumn, we’ve been waiting for you… and hello to everyone who is reading, it’s been awhile.
While this post was going to be directed towards how much I love Fall and how excited my heart is to see leaves changing colors, my crock pot being in use and the smell of crisp air.. I also wanted to play catch up… very briefly!
Ive been away from writing for some time now, not because I don’t enjoy it, not because I don’t want to, just simply because it’s been a lot. As of yesterday this is now 14 months as a single mom. While I am not sure if I’ll ever fully have it “all together”, I do think that I’ve grown and have a little better of a grasp on managing life as a solo parent.
The kids are now 10 and 3.5, which seems unreal as I feel like I was just writing about my son being born. I feel like I was just writing on here for the first time, over eight years ago I believe. Time flies, it simply just does. While I’ll save the why we split for another day, I’ll say this, Fall reminds me of a fresh start. A fresh start for everyone. Kids go back to school, it’s a new school year which sort of feels like a new year for us parents. I often find myself setting more goals and more “resolutions” for September than I do for the New Year.
So, I’ll leave it here on a short and sweet post. Saying goodbye to Summer. Saying hello to Fall. And what I truly hope, saying hello to blogging again because what better time to jump back in than now.
I’ve missed this!
