So I’ve decided to take another break, just to see what wonderful things might happen again! 🙂

Actually, that’s not the real reason.

The real reason is that my husband has invited lots of people over to our house for a party this Saturday.

If you know me at all, you know I’m not feeling remotely calm right now. There will be tons of people here, many of whom I’ve never met.

If you know me at all, you know my house is in no condition for a party:

I’m not now and never will be a social butterfly, not even a social caterpillar. I do love parties – as long as I can be the one observing through a “lens” of sorts. I’d even rather refill punch bowls than be the hostess. Trying to make small talk run smoothly sends me straight to my cocoon.

(Would any social butterflies like to flit on down here to come throw this party for me? Please?)

So, while I gear up for this, everything is on hold until Sunday or Monday, at which time I’ll have a major blog catch-up day. If you see me on here before then – if you come for a visit and suspect I’m lurking on the site – tell me to shoo! And to go mop the floor!

In the meantime, I will leave you with a couple of sneak previews for the Sunday/Monday catch-up day:

Annie’s tagline: “Next year, I’m planning on telling my husband before I order 40 chicks.”

Is this a “turnabout is fair play” kind of deal, Annie, in response to the bucket calves he bought??!

From Julie’s world… This time of year is like one perpetual party that she has to throw, with baseball-ballet-friends’ wedding showers. My little shindig pales in comparison to the things she’s managing right now. This blog is supposed to be fun for us sisters, so she’ll be back when it feels like a joy to take a break and write a post.

And from my corner… I’ll be posting about preventing lying in young children. Not that it’s especially a joy to write about that… But it will be a joy if anyone can chime in with some good advice that helps!

I have Mom’s Three By Fives set up to post automatically each day, but I’m skipping the pictures. The picture in the right sidebar will stay the same, but it will link you to that category, not to the individual posts.

In the meantime, from all of us: Please have a wonderfully happy Easter Sunday! Enjoy the risen Savior, your family, and some fine spring weather!

See you in a few days, when I’ve been resurrected, so to speak, from this party’s (calamitous?!) conclusion.
