It's been a while...

      Well...  I have fallen off the blogging wagon...  Actually I have honestly fallen off the almost everything wagon.  As a family we have had a ton going on these past few months...  We've moved into a house almost double the size of our old one, that needs a lot of work, My husband has switched jobs, I lost my grandpa, our oldest, TJ started online Kindergarten this year, our youngest, Cullen started walking and is into EVERYTHING, and our middle son, Lexton has been diagnosed with Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder with accompanying Language Impairment (He's completely non-verbal)and Developmental Coordination Disorder.  So now our weekly schedule includes Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapies as well as Lexton having two days of Early Intervention Preschool.  

       In all of that I have managed to fall behind on everything! My house, on most days looks like a tornado went through it.  I haven't had laundry all completely washed, dried and all put away since we've lived here.  (We moved in May).  I even still have a few boxes that I haven't unpacked.  On top of that, since I haven't couponed in months, my stockpile has dwindled down to next to nothing!  I've even paid full price for items that I know I shouldn't have.  
     
      So here I am... Sitting at the dining room/classroom table (I gave up my desk for TJ to have for his school computer) writing on the off chance that someone might be reading and feeling the same way I do right now, which honestly is a little overwhelmed.  But I am determined to get back on track!  I want to get back to my happy peace.  I'm done with letting life control me!  I know it's going to be a process figuring out a system that's going to work for me in this stage of my life, now that everything has so drastically changed.  But it's time to get back to basics... So, fresh start here I come!
      Anyone else on board?
