And I'm Back! (For Now)

I briefly took my blog off offline because I was debating whether or not it would be detrimental to some volunteer work I have been handling.

Just in case this happens again, feel free to send me a message and I'll add you to the Super Secret List of Readers (really though, it's just people that I had email addresses for that I knew would want to keep up with LBS).

I am what I am.  And yes, there are probably times when I do need to be more mindful about what I'm throwing into the Online Universe.  For now, however, I'm confident with what I've been oversharing and am happy to be "back".

Easter was wonderful.  The kiddos are on spring break this week.  And true to form, I've come down with some mystery illness that seems to be unique to me which has me shivering and in pain one minute and burning up the next.  The only thing that has sounded good since last night is Luigi's Real Italian Ice cups.  Realizing that I need my nourishment, I have consumed about four of them in the last hour.  Somehow, I don't think that will be helpful when I am back up to 100% and begin my multi-mile walks with Big Red.

In other news, I am actually praying to Mother Nature for some rain.  The Pollen Haze that has taken over is absolutely disgusting.  Getting my kids some outside time is critical to everyone's survival and sanity.  Unfortunately genetics do seem to play a role in the allergy game and my crew picked the short straws.  Itchy watery eyes, runny noses, and eczema are rampant in our house.  I read somewhere that a high pollen count is somewhere around 200... Atlanta's count has been in the 2000+ range for the last several days!  Fail, Atlanta climate.  Fail.

I owe you all some pictures too.  I PROMISE I will get them off of my camera soon.  It seems that every time I sit down to blog, my camera is nowhere to be found and I'm left with a verbose post that is completely void of interesting pictures.  I owe you, and I know I do.  I will make good on my promise!

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama
