Our little guy sang his heart out last night for the biggest crowd he's ever performed for! He also had to do hand gestures to the music (POLITE gestures!)... it was a church function, LOL. Anyway, he was awesome and received tons of praise afterwards from his choir teacher about how "adult" he is. No surprise to us but we love hearing it anyway!
He finished fourth grade a couple months ago and has started fifth grade... taken his writing tests for the year and will be doing more standardized tests next month. He's keeping us both very busy!
He's also making quite the impression on the baseball field this year. He's playing competitively for his fourth year but this is his first with this team. He's also facing (and doing) live pitching this year for the first time, plus playing first base the rest of the time. He took a big hit in practice the other night but kept right on going. He's a real trooper!
I was going to post something more exciting, but some sort of flu has hit our family this weekend and it's affecting me the most... nothing severe, just dizzy, queasy, sniffly and yucky feeling. But definitely NOT up to writing anything erotic. And I AM feeling particularly proud of the little guy these days, so I figured I'd share the joy, plus give you a bit of insight into what's been happening with him.
Besides, my hopes and thoughts are with Mthc and David this weekend, wishing them well and hoping they are doing OK!
Not just for spanking, though that thoughts occurs more and more often lately (it's been ridiculously long; long enough to actually scare me silly at the concept).
But also hands of love, collective hands joining together toward a common goal.
Today and throughout the next week or so, my thoughts turn to all my friends joining hands collectively, symbolically, in hopes of channeling all the available positive, healing energy in the universe into Mthc and David's reality. I KNOW they are both gonna be fine. I feel it in every pore of my being. But until they are both convinced, well, our job simply isn't done!
Fanning the flames seemed the perfect transition and description of life as it's been and as it now stands for me. Yes, I've been an active participant in this Blogger community before, sometimes as a reader, sometimes as a commenter, sometimes as a lurker. And yes, I've changed my "identity," not because I feel any less "connected" to my old one, but at least for now, the only way I feel remotely comfortable stepping back out into the public eye is to remain anonymous to some folks. So this will have to do for now.
I'm making no promises, no guarantees as to how often I'll post or whether or not I'll write anything worth reading or commenting on. Though the posting thing is hardly new to me, everything is new in some respects... my life has changed unalterably in the past few months. Not all bad, certainly not all good, and hopefully it will continue to change for the better. But like it or not, it is in flux, so this place will undoubtedly see tremendous changes, too.
If anything I've said strikes your fancy or makes you wonder, feel free to stick around for as long a time as you like. I'm very happy to see you!
By the way, though I've been deliberating about returning to blogging for quite some time, my final decision was made quite quickly, purely out of convenience. That being said, I WILL be making lots of changes to the appearance of the blog, too, so don't worry, it won't look this way for too long. But I LOVE the overall look and feel of this template, so at least it is a good starting point.
Happily married with children and a wild imagination (far wilder than my reality). I've blogged before... so you might (or might not) know who I am. Drop me an email anytime!
