Where In The World Is Smander?

Hi....I'm Kara and I'm a bad blogger. I have an addictive personality and unfortunately my addiction of the moment is trying to maintain a balance between my family and work. I'm afraid I've let my blogging responsibilities fall to the wayside as I harbor my new addiction.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find time to blog and check email. I don't know how people do it. When I was home, I had all the time in the world, but now that I'm at work, I can barely get the family fed and bathed before it's time for bed.

Once in bed, I can't seem to relax because I'm constantly thinking about what needs to be done and before I know it, it's after midnight. Doesn't sound so bad until you consider that's the time I realize what time it is...Now I have my usual "lay there until I fall asleep' routine that can last anywhere between 1-2 hours. It seems like I just get to close my eyes and then Todd wakes me up. So unfair.

OK...Enough of my belly-achin'. On to what's been going on in my world the past few weeks.

Our town's street fest was this past weekend and we decided to put Daisy "the new dog" in the pet contest. She came in second in the cutest category. It was awesome. Then the day after we put the baby in the Diaper Derby, which is like a mini 50 yd dash, and he came in second. That was cool too, but kinda sucked too because he would've won had one of the other contestants family not started screaming which freaked him out.

Then we've had soccer for the past several days in a row. Last night was the worst I've seen in a while as refereeing goes. The refs had absolutely no control over the game and it got so rough that one of our boys broke his wrist when he was shoved down. I was actually glad that Mitch didn't play that much. But, I still want to beat the hell out of his coach. That's whole other story.

I've got so much more to write about but I have to feed the crew. I'll have to tell you about my birthday, my ex-boyfriend, the super pooper baby at work and my idiot boss later.


Until then my friends. I bid thee adieu....
