I used to know someone in my circle of friends who always seemed too busy for the rest of us. Everytime we would say "We've missed you!" or "How have you been?" or invite her to have coffee or whatever, she would always reply "I am just busy, busy, busy! Way too busy!" After a while, it seemed more like she was just too busy to make time for friends and she drifted away from our little circle. We are all moms, most of us have the same number of kids with about the same number of activities to keep up with. Our families are our number one priority. Some of us have husbands who travel, which means that mom has no back up or anybody to tag team with. This person was no more busy than the rest of us, she just didn't make time for friendships. I never wanted to be like that. I never want my friends to think I don't have time for them. But lately, I am afraid I HAVE been that person. I am just "busy, busy, busy". And this would be the cause of my lack of blogging and visiting my bloggy friends. I actually have visited my regular ones, just not commented. I have really missed blogging, but lately, it has been hard to find a balance between my family, myself, the house and everything else. Hopefully things will get better soon!
Today, we are heading out of town to visit our dear friends and Linzi's Wuwei sister, Lindsey. I have talked about her a lot. She is just that special to us. I am sure I will have lots of pics to share when we get back.
We also had fun little camping experience that I don't have the time to blog about right now, but will when we get back. I will leave you with a couple recent pictures of Linzi, just to prove we are all still alive! Her preschool class had a visit from the local firestation and a tour of the firetruck. So, her class made firedog hats and noses. Our Teddy dog is black and white, so now she calls him a firedog. Oh, and the belt around her neck is her "collar". That was her little touch. I just had to keep making sure it was loose! :D
Have a great weekend ya'll!!!

Don't be so hard on yourself- we all get busy sometimes! That's life. :) I'd rather be busy than recovering from surgery- ha..ha.
Linzi looks SO cute! Enjoy your trip. Can't wait to hear about it when you get back.
Oh, we all understand. Thanks for taking the time to share what you did. Life is busy, we just have to do the best we can and enjoy it all along! :)
Hang in there, I'm hoping for some "free" time for you, even just a bit. :)
I understand what you're saying. I feel exactly the same way. I try with all my might to reach out to all my friends. It's been a bit more challenging lately so I've stepped away from blogging. Do what you need to do. We all will understand.
You HAVE been busy. Enjoy it and don't be burdened by it. It sounds like you've had some good fun and even more is around the corner. Lap it up!!!
Linzi looks adorable. I lover her dimple!
Breathe deeply and love life!
