long time no see!
Well, it's been a while. Life got a little nutty but I feel like it's calming down...
I (finally) broke up with Mark. I'd rather not get into the details but suffice to say, it was a very difficult decision to make, but I feel like it's the right one. I feel happier and less stressed than I have in months. I miss him a lot sometimes, and I still love him, but I can't handle his drinking and the subsequent behavior.
Eva and Max are doing great! Max is totally into skateboarding, and totally into dressing like one as well. I'm trying to be a "cool mom" about it, but I'm drawing the line at super-saggy pants. He's also learning how to make beats, some sort of hip-hope something-or-other. A friend of mine is teaching him how and he's loving it and catching on super fast. Eva's doing Rock and Roll Camp for Girls; they'll have a showcase coming up that y'all should come to; it's really cute and fun and for a good cause. She's loving playing bass and we're going to get her one for her birthday. Damn! How is it that I've suddenly got an 11-year-old and an almost 10-year-old? *shudder* Puberty is just around the corner, and I'm scared, mommy!
The bakery is wonderful as well. Mom and I are extremely nervous about the holidays in our tiny work/storage space but we'll make it happen. I forsee 18 hour workdays approaching.
That's about it for me. I just realized that this is like one of those frickin' Christmas letters but oh well, I just felt like letting peeps know what's going on with me since I have felt a little isolated lately. Self-imposed, but isolated nonetheless. I hope everyone's well and having fun and staying healthy and all that jazz! Nat, I can't wait until you come for Thanksgiving! I think we're having a shindig at my place but stay tuned for details...
