Exhausted in Alabama

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to touch base and let you know why I've been MIA:))  I've been on a whirlwind trip with my 2 little boys.  We traveled to Illinois so that I could attend a Carol Carter workshop--I will be blogging about this on Monday--it was beyond fabulous!!  I'm inspired, invigorated and can't wait to get back to painting.  We then made an unexpected detour to Little Rock, Arkansas to check out a fabulous house!  We are in the process of renting the home--the Air Force is sending us there this Summer.  I am really excited about this house because it has more than enough room for a studio.  I can hardly wait!!!!!  We then made our way back to Alabama.  My car had a few problems so I spent the majority of the day at the mechanics on our way home, but we made it!

I'm counting down the days until my hubby gets back from Afghanistan, we're down in the double digits, whooo hoooo!!!!!  I'm trying to get the house we're living in ready for viewing for new renters, trying to get ready to move, oh yeah I guess I should unpack, get the swimming pool to not look sooooo green, weed the gardens, clean up the winter cob webs on the back porch and get ready for a small art show in March----NO BIGGIE:)))

I'll be back Monday with a regularly scheduled post.  I am sooooooo far behind in visiting your blogs, please forgive me--this single parent thing is no joke!  Did I mention the 60 cupcakes I made before we left for our trip for the kids school Valentine party (which one Mom had the nerve to ask me if I bought at Wal-Mart because she couldn't figure out how I got the icing to look so perfect)--Seriously!!!!! and the heart shaped crayons we made for everyone's Valentine.  I'm trying hard to be the best Mom/Wife/Artist I can be.  So bare with me folks, I'll be back to your blogs, I have been reading them just haven't had time to comment!!  I miss you guys:(  And I thank you for all of your comments!  You guys rock!!!
