Blogging is Hard

Ok. I've been in this blogging world for a while now. Like since Husband's first deployment five years ago. So I know what I need to really keep the blog going. It's just a little hard right now. See, I have a secret. I'm not ready to spill the beans about this secret to the world just yet, so I'm still keeping it mostly to myself.

I think what's worse is that Redhead keeps bringing home cold germs, so I've been in a state of perpetual coughing and phlegm life for the last two months. It's so not fun. But as a result, this little blog of my has been forced into hiatus. Which is hilarious since it's only had one post so far.

Redhead turned five last month. She loves telling people that she's five now, and it's super adorable. Her speech is getting crazy good, which I'm glad about. I'm hopeful that by the time she goes into kindergarten, she'll be caught up to where she should be with regards to language skills. She has extra class during the week and she meets with the specialists at school to work on her speech, and it is showing in how she's communicating at home.

Mama's Girl is becoming a bit less of a mama's girl lately. It's weird. But I think she spends so much time with me during the week that she wants to snuggle and play with her daddy when he gets home from school. Husband isn't minding it too much. In fact he's loving it. Although, Husband does wish that Redhead would want to play with him less. Redhead is a total daddy's girl and she clings to him like crazy.

Dog and Cat 2 are their animal annoying selves. Cat 2 is a total lap cat. I'm pretty sure that she would not survive without human companionship. Her history is too people-centric. Her litter was abandoned by their mom, they were bottlefed by a foster family, we adopted her at 12 weeks. She's always been a chest/lap cat. She needs that love. Dog is still a puppy, so she still tends to mess up on some things. We're getting there though. She's not having "accidents" in the house as frequently as when we got her a few months ago.

I'm hoping to keep blogging now. Even if I have this big secret that I'm not ready to share with the world yet. If I can keep my blog from veering into that territory, I think I'll be good and won't share it until I'm ready to. Fingers crossed.
