in a nut shell (literally and figuratively)

OK, so yes... I realize I promised another post soon... but ya know, I try to make it happen, and then it just doesn't... SO SORRY! I've completely accepted that I've lost the only few readers I had! But, for the one Sugar and Spice die harder out there hanging on to dear life having faith in me and my blogging, there is good news!! Unlike all my other 'catch-up posts' this one will be short and sweet... NOTHING like my others! I need to get my feet wet again and get in the hang of this again!
I can't even begin to explain all the ins and outs of what's been happening since my last post- it definitely would not be the "short and sweet" post mentioned above!
Needless to say, the 'cliff's notes version' of the last 2 months are as follows:
~we have been doing some things to the house
~the girls have started back at school
~they are both in ballet...

~I have started back at school too, in Grad school at that...ugh!

Oh and not to mention, for the past two months while we were having work done to the house, we have been living with... drum roll please... do I dare to even say it... yes, we have been living with this...

(I think the quality of the picture adds more dramatic affect so I'm rollin with it!)

...OUR IN-LAWS!!!

So basically, need I say any more!?
