I love bath night.  I love the way my babies smell after a bath and how they love to snuggle after a bath.

And I LOVE hooded towels.

Can you see why?

Ok, let’s try this again, shall we?

I’ve logged on to my blogs a couple of times in the past couple months and updated plugins and all of that important admin stuff that makes me feel really important on an ant’s level but basically means I push a button and wait for the screen to tell me when everything is ok again.

I haven’t really considered actually posting again until just now.  I sat down to my computer (something I rarely do anymore thanks to a Blackberry and a Kindle Fire) to fill out some forms and print out some forms for a super special, super secret thing that I am doing for myself and I thought, “Well why not?  Let’s write a blog post!”

And look at me go!

Ok, so I have been promising to pick this back up again for a while, but I had some Somer-fixing to do.  And in my absence from this precious blog of mine, I have been doing a pretty damned good job of Somer-fixing if you must know.  I’m doing much better now.

It wasn’t easy to get here, I had to shut a lot of side things down in my head to concentrate on dissipating the black cloud that was constantly looming over my head.  But I’m proud to say that I’ve been pretty successful actually and I’m not only happy to be in a better place, but I’m happy that I put myself on the other side.

Just by being a stubborn but tough bitch.  My favorite kind.

So….there’s that.

And now that that has been said and I’m not really shaking off my blog-dust too well here, how about I share pictures?  We all love pictures! I’ll break life down into more distinct and easily blogged categories later.  Ruegen sitting on his throne.  Giving me his squishy smile.

Boys ganging up on Daddy.  I was in hysterics watching this go down.

The kid made Troll Face at me!  It needs a caption that reads, “U Mad?”

Daddy trying to look intimidating.  It didn’t work, sooo…..

He tried to sound intimidating.  It was also unsuccessful!

Vampire teeth are in high demand in this house.

Such a peaceful looking picture.  How deceiving!

Puttin’ on the Ritz!

Chit chatting and making NO sense.

One of the best pictures I’ve ever taken of this child.

One of the only snows we got this year.

The big brother pulling around the baby brother.  Sweetness abounds.

Precious, precious baby.

“I’m cute and I know it!”

GRUMPLE SOMER!

Happy Somer!

Sheesh, when was the last time I posted a picture of myself on here?  I usually try to avoid it because, to be honest, I’m never this polished looking!  Oh well, there you go!

Lots of pictures and a half-assed blog post.  Better than nothing, I say!

Yes, yes I know that I promised I was back and then I dropped off again.

Sorry about that.

I actually read a blog post (I’m not linking to it) earlier this week about whether or not bloggers should obligate themselves to letting their readers know when and possibly why they are taking blog-vacations.  Well….that post PISSED ME THE HELL OFF.  Not the actual content to be exact (why should it?  It had a good point or two in there, not that I’m buying into any of it) but the TONE that the author used.  She actually wrote another post in which she was expressing a bit of irritation over a bad comment (not made by me! But I won’t begrudge a blogger a chance to complain about a negative comment. They suck!) on that post and she said something along the lines of,”Well if you don’t want to be considerate and giving, then fine!”

Fuck that lady.  I’m sure she’s nice in real life and a wonderful writer, but fuck that lady.

I have my reasons, my reasons are good, and although I really like all of you who come to read this blog, my personal life is my own.  My struggles are my own goddamned business.

And besides, my lovely readers, if you want to talk with me or ask why the hell I’m not writing, feel free to ask. I have a contact email, I have a Twitter account as well as a Facebook and Google+ account.  I’m not hard to find if you want to chastise me for being a lazy blogger.  Surely nobody is intimidated by me and my little ol’ blog.

A little ol’ blog that I still love dearly.

But enough of that.  Who wants to see pictures of my babies?  (You had better ALL raise your hands!)

I’ve had two birthdays, and trick-or-treating go on over here, so I’ve got some great pics!

Since Lukas’ actual birthday and his birthday party were on different days, he only got one toy on his actual birthday.  He was pretty happy with his toy leaf blower.  If only it were real.  Seriously, you should see my yard!

I love this picture of Lukas wearing his Angry Birds hat.  This was taken at his birthday party, and you bet your ass it was Spongebob themed!  Viva la Sponge!

This is my baby Ruegen on his first birthday.

He wasn’t as messy as his brother was with his first birthday cake, but I still got an epic picture!

Lukas actually picked out this costume.  He passed up all of the brand-name costumes so he could be a monster.  I was so freaking proud!

FUZZY BLUE DRAGON!  FUZZY BLUE DRAGON!  FUZZY BLUE DRAGON!

Fuzzy Blue Dragon waiting patiently while Swamp Monster gets his wardrobe malfunction fixed.

This is the best picture I got of Fuzzy Blue Dragon and Swamp Monster together.  All the others look like Swamp Monster is trying to eat Fuzzy Blue Dragon.

And now I will end this out-of-the-blue-not-so-pleasant-in-the-beginning post and go back to my hole.  I’d like to say I’ll post more often, but you know the song by now, don’t you?  Thanks for hanging around.
