Life Lately

 Hello! Happy Tuesday!

Man, the world feels heavy lately. I don't know about you but last week really set me off balance. I try and try to be a positive person, because really, I think it's a choice. But no matter what I did I kept being sad. I'm not here to get political because truly I really really dislike politics. I always say, for me its morals and values, not taxes and policies. I think politics bring out the ugly in people and as my Great-Aunt Loretta once told me: "We don't do ugly." (I think she meant it looks wise, she was a firecracker, but I like to think we can use it for attitudes too.) We had a lot of ugly things happen last week and yesterday I spent my day at jury duty hearing about something just as ugly (I was excused thankfully; I don't think I would've been able to sit through that trial). I know my limits, and I know what I can and cannot handle. I don't watch the news; I work hard to keep things light and fluffy over here but this past week I just cannot escape it. Call it burying my head in the sand, call it being naive, I really don't care but I cannot deal with anymore tragedy or people being ugly. Today I'm turning off all social media and just being with my family. I need this day more than you know...or maybe you do know. If you do know, I encourage you to do the same. 

Before I do that, let's get into a little life lately for the Sasses. This one will be short and sweet....

Smith is in full swing with kindergarten. The first few days were tough for him being away from mama but he's doing great now. He's absolutely loving it, already acting so much more grown up and is already learning so much! God bless kindergarten teachers!

His teacher sent me this picture of him on the first day. I just love him so so much!!

Kamryn at her first game. Just like kindergarten, cheer is also in full swing. If you have a kid who plays any sport you know what I mean. I currently live in my car.

I've been soaking up every second of my one on one time with Archie. 

Saturday night Mike and I went to the IBEW Local 103 125th anniversary gala in Boston. I had a lot of fun getting ready and wore more make up than I've worn in years. It was fun to get a little glam!

What an event! There were 6,000 people there! My favorite part was seeing what everyone was wearing! I went safe with my black lace dress, but I saw so many gorgeous dresses! We had a great time.

My Logan. Goodness he's growing up right before my eyes and my mama heart can hardly handle it.

I tried getting a cute picture of the girls in their matching sweatshirts and their little brother decided to photobomb! LOL! He just cracks us up!!

I'm off for some fresh air, some playtime with my baby, some lighthearted tv and cleaning my house top to bottom. I need some normalcy. I hope you all have the best day and do something that brings you joy!!
