Just As Long As There Are Two

Several days have gone by, and I've truly been too busy to write- busy with ushering, with the annual homeschool flea market and craft fair, with preparations for Sweet Hubby's birthday.  But I realized tonight, as the hour gets late and I waste my time on this and that, I'm in danger of this blog becoming one of those forlorn 'one post' abandoned blogs.  So just to prevent that outcome, here is a second post.  I promise I have more to say- lots of thoughts to come.
Future posts may contain musings on: routines in our home school, the place of music in our lives, my craft crush, philosophies of parenting, trying to be fully present for the boys and Sweet Hubby too.
I am so distractible these days, sometimes I'm surprised at myself and at how I lack the focus I had just a few years ago.  The hardest thing for me is to direct my energy toward the things that are most important to me.  Somehow I fritter away my hours and days, and only in the last moments before I sleep do I catch myself and swear that the next day I'll do better.  That is my number one motivation for writing, to keep myself "awake" so that I can live my life rather than drift along helplessly.
