So I guess you would say I have been MIA from Mom Speak.  I can’t believe it has been 6 months my last post.  It is amazing how time gets away from you.  While I don’t want to just start making excuses, the facts are as such.  I balance being a wife, mom, part- time job, super coupon lady, and a chronic illness (diverticulits).  The combination of those things tend to keep me very busy as well as zap my energy level.  The good news is that I am keeping up with the above list very well other than with this blog.  I do however, want to continue blogging here so I hope you are forgiving and ready for some new posts.  As I have said before, I welcome your comments and any suggestions for what you would like to read about on here.  As the new school year started today, I would like to start with a new series of posts and hope you are excited to read them!
