It's Not As Bad As It Seems

Bet you didn't know a pre-school birthday party could
be this rough, huh?

I feel like this picture pretty much sums up the speed of life around here right now. It looks like a hot mess, but it's pretty much superficial.  Beneath it all, things are still good.  The life blood is still flowing and we'll achieve homeostasis again.

So many things have happened in the past couple of weeks - most of them happy, one of them incredibly not - but all is still well with me and mine and for that I am grateful.  I'll try to get back to put all in words, but if I can't, just know that I am still kicking around and missing you.

In the meantime, take it easy out there, my friends.

PS:  That is a lollipop stick Bun has, not a cigarette, as one person thought.  Lollipops cure all minor flesh wounds.  We only give the kids cigarettes if they need stitches. Or they are facing a firing squad.
