stoppin' in for a quick, "Hello!"

Sorry to everyone that I have not been around lately.  Things are extremely busy.  
I just really wanted to stop in and say, "Hello," to you all.  
DD is hard when you have extra people living in your home.  It's hard to have those special times, spanking times, loving times, any time at all.  
I would love to stop by more often, and I will try to make a concerted effort to make that happen.  We shall see...
I hope you are all doing well.  
And for the friends out there that have been kind in checking up on me.  Thank you!  You do not realize how important it is to have so many around here who have expressed such kindness.  I am grateful for your friendships.  
And if I owe you an email...my apologies.  I am trying to manage my time better.  
And if any of you who are out there are the praying sort, pray that I can learn to hold my tongue with Hoss.  
I'm really struggling with that lately.  
The old me...who I thought was buried deep or had evaporated all together, seems to be trying to creep her ugly head in.  That part of me, I do not enjoy seeing.  I want to see that nasty temper and bad attitude gone...vanished.   
Anyway, that's about all I can share right now.  Thanks for being my sounding board.

  1. Hello Baker, You are under a lot of stress with the extra occupants in your home. So I can't blame you for the old you reappearing. Hopefully it all levels out soon, so you and Hoss can be back to your normal routine.
    In the mean time take 5 minutes out of your busy schedule to...…..STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES my friend. LOL! You know I worry about you.
    Hugs Lindy xx

  2. Hi Baker, it's wonderful to see you post. No need to apologise. You have so much on and family has to come first. We understand and are here when you are able to pop in. Please don't feel pressure to blog/email.

    Hugs

    1. Roz, you are so sweet and kind to say that. I appreciate it. I do want to be here and in the midst of things, that's part of the problem. I want to do my best and be everywhere at once, but cannot. Thanks for having such patience with me as I do my best to be here when I can.

  3. What a lovely surprise to wake up to a post from you, Baker. I remember someone telling me once that if I wanted Sam to lead me, I ought to act as if he were the leader. That's about all you can do right now. Hold your head high and be the best Baker you can be. Also think you and Hoss should plan a night away from everyone and take along a very quiet implement.

    Hugs From Ella

    1. Miss Ella,
      You are so right and I am desperately trying to be the best Baker I can be, but oh, it can be very hard sometimes. Thank you for your suggestion and Hoss and I will try that soon. Thanks!

  4. Baker! You are alive!! So good to see your post. I'm sorry you can't find some alone time for Hoss to "connect" with you. Eric globbed onto the blind wand the other day. It's pretty quiet but packs a mighty zing. Hang in there and send your houseguests to a movie. Amy

    1. Ames,
      That would be extremely expensive to send so many to a movie,but it's a great suggestion and we may do it soon! Hopefully, we will have things settle into a good routine...we shall see!

  6. I'm glad to see you poking your head out. The 'old me' is back too, and while that's not a horrible version of myself, it's still not my favorite. Here's hoping you find the balance you need.

    1. We are still working on finding balance, PK, but I do appreciate the encouragement to do so...we're making it through. My old version is not my favorite person at all, but I'm trying. Thanks for the seeking balance suggestion.

  7. Nice to see you again Baker! I love some of your pictures. My mantra is "I can be right, or I can be happy, but rarely ever will I be both".

    1. Oh, Boo, that is so right! I love your mantra....maybe I should remind myself and repeat it to help calm my mouth and internal dialog down. Hugs!

    1. Thanks, NJ, your very kind. We are definitely trying to do a good job taking care of one another, but so hard to find the time.
