Um...hi...

(said sheepishly)

This is like me, ya know...

I get these great ideas and then...well...

life.

Really, it's more like,

!!!!!!!!LIFE!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say, I completely underestimated both the amount of time and the level of attention a new child requires.

Whoops.

And the amount of money

(actress/singer/writer/make-up artist/baker/professional...shopper? for hire! Tell your friends!)

Or the time taken by my desperate attempts to scrape up the meager leftovers of what was at one time a healthy, flourishing social existence ...

And it's also quite difficult to write a blog when you do not have a working computer.

Oh, and I'm apparently married??

Just kidding about that last one, sweetie ;)

But I'm back, my friends!

You see, I've discovered that the extra time I used to have did not COMPLETELY disappear. Oh, don't get me wrong...it is, for the most part, gone and never to be seen again...

But apparently, some of it hides in seconds, minutes, and moments that happen, yes sparingly, but still so beautifully present throughout my day.

And guess what? I've learned to prioritize!

To (gasp).... time manage!

*shoves laundry basket with unfolded clothes out of peripheral view*

you know, for the most part...

So here I am, six months later, asking for another chance. So will you, my eight...no...WAIT...NINE! Nine followers, give me a second chance? A second chance to fill the void in your minds left by the absence of my witty narrative? To feed the hunger that could only be satisfied by the sweet and sinful decadence that is social voyeurism?

Please, oh please say yes!

So what's new with the Sanchez family? Well, I'm glad you asked, sir!

Maverick, my beautiful baby boy is 6 months old! Can you believe it? This past week he took his first plane ride to visit and meet family! He did so well. The couple in front of us on the ride back were shocked when they turned around to exit the plane, and saw we had a baby! He really is exceptional.

I know, every parent thinks it...but, this time it's true ;)

And, guess what? We are in the middle of buying our first home! It' such a scary, exciting process, but I think it'll be worth the headaches in the end.

I will be doing Grinchmas again this year, and I am VERY excited about it. I missed it so much last year. It'll be tough juggling two contracts and subbing two extra shows over the Holiday season, but I've made sure to keep myself sane by assuring I have a least one day off a week.

Jon is working hard at the station! He is taking a class next week called "firefighter survival."

This pleases me.

He has also decided to buy a 1968 Ford Ranger as a project car for him and Mav! He is really excited.

Everything is wonderful and beautiful in life right now, and we are so excited to see whats in store.

So from now on, every Saturday (at least) I will update with a DETAILED account of the previous week.

With pictures.

Pinky promise.

Get ready! The Sanchez Family is back and better than ever!

Excessive commas, run-ons, and all.
