I am back (again)....
I just looked at the date on my last blog and realized that the last time I had written here was in October. Where has the time gone? I can make promises to be more consistent but I am hardly ever the one in charge of my time anymore. I feel that I am pulled into several directions at once - my kids, my husband, my family in Manila, work and the business, in all this I can't even find time for myself...much less put my thoughts down on a blog. Sigh...
But I'm not complaining, not really anyway, but every once in awhile I do get a chance to sneak a couple of hours for myself. I have bookclub every 3rd Thursday of the month with other Mrs. And times like these when I can jot down a few thoughts before I go back to the business of taxes. (Hurray....NOT)
Hmmm...what has happened? I think it would be best to just type up as I remember it, and if you don't mind, I'll do it Outline-style:
- I had travelled back to Manila for the business again in November and it is slowly getting there. I am happy with the way things are going and hopefully it continues to move positively.
- We went to Utah this December for 2 reasons: 1) to watch the U2 Concert - which was incredible and will definitely need a separate blog entry; and 2) visit my husband's family, and spend Christmas there. It was a fun 10 days but it was good to be home and spend the New Year's in our home with my family.
- My daughter celebrated her 5th birthday and we spent a quiet evening with spaghetti, cake and ice cream in our home with just myself, Brian, Ian and Moira. Then we gave the gifts - she LOVED it. Barbie dresses and a Barbie bed with a princess canopy - it was great because for a few moments, as I was wandering around the toy store, I got to go back to my childhood and bought stuff that I would have loved to receive. And she did, she said that it was the best birthday ever! We're celebrating her birthday with her friends on Saturday and I'm sure it'll be something great too.
At any rate, I am back - hopefully for awhile and I wanted to say, I'll see you soon!!
