(said in an atrocious French accent-ah, courtesy of Monty Python a.k.a. "geniuses of quotable remarks")
Pues... it's been awhile, and contrary to popular opinion (and perhaps desire???) no starving lions have "et" me up, abduction by central intelligence units fell by the wayside, and my typing fingers have not literally (but perhaps metaphorically???) become glued to diapers and sippy cups rather than the keyboard on my laptop...
Cue for the song "O Shenandoah" but sung, "O Jenna dear, I miss your presence... you're far away... in Indiana... O Jenna dear, I miss your presence... come baaa-aaa-aaack... I need you baaa-aaa-aaack... or I shall spontaneously combust into millions of fragmented pieces and hit someone who deserves it like Limón" - which is not exactly how the song goes, nor does it fit perfectly into the right rhythm on the last stanza, and Limón does, I suppose, deserve some sort of award for playing "mom" for a night to our kidlets and changing several diapers... but bear with me here... ;)
Alas, life is normal. And no worries, Jenna... believe it or not, all is going well. Only a mild case of blogger burn-out... or burned-out blogger... or blogged outburner? Who knows... not me.
Pues... inspiration has re-entered my life (partially provided by Amy's attempt at serenading me into the blogging spirit with the lyrics, "You're my inspiration," and subsequent bear-hug-dancing around the escuelita) and partially from the half-frantic, half-joking tone of my mother's voice the other night on the phone...
"Hey honey... how are you?"
"I'm doing well, Mom."
"Really? Well, you haven't blogged in... well, let's see... 17 days, 15 hours and 25 minutes... I assumed you were eaten by wild animals or stolen by zombies or something."
"Hmmmm... close. Very close."
Pues... I promise to blog soon... with something more tangible, more exciting, and more up-to-date than the inability to blog... ;)
And for those faithful readers who have checked every day in hopes of an update only to be met with disappointment again and again and again... (namely Dad, Mom... and all the other "Dad, Mom" combos from our single staff down here)...
Again, "I do apologize."

Hola Steph, glad to hear that you are doing okay. I was begining to think the picture of Magda would be all I would see when I thought of you.
Anyway Lupita asked about you and laughed when I told her you were taking care of 6 childs all day long. She obviously really likes you, because she asks about you all the time.
keep on keepin on
Te quiero

I'm pretty sure it isn't good grammer to use "Pues" every other word.
I'm pretty sure it's an amazing justification tool, grammatically correct or not... ;)
Welcome back,
You are heartily forgiven. We all knew about your busy sched w/ Jenna here in IN. Press on and blog when you can

Thank You,Thank You Thank You
The Blogs are Fun and make me
Laugh, but hearing your Voice is
even BETTER!!!

Steph,
It is an honor to be an inspiration in your life chica. Although I am sure you could have done a much better version. ;)
love,
amy
p.s. I check your blog every day.
You're forgiven! You do such a good job and we really enjoy your blog updates! How many diapers have you changed to date since Jenna left? :)
Much love,
Mike & Shari
Mike & Shari- I have only changed 3 diapers since she left. The male mentors (Joel, Seth, and Limón) have been amazing helpers and have done the rest.
Wow Steph, 10 comments on one blog! Are stealing fans from the top ranked blogger in the world. We know how hard it is to stay on top. You have done an awesome job with the kidletitos. Pues, you go girl tambien.

Okay, okay, okay... this is the REAL "Steph" and the imposter who posted that comment will definitely get his come-uppance!!! The nerve, I tell you what... some people's children!
(As a side-note, they have been amazing helpers... cheers to males changing diapers!)
come-uppance?
It's an intellectual Kansas word that means "just reward!" Also steph....'Vengence is mine saith the Lord !' :)
Steph, I am beginning to lack the sincerity of your apology...
Me too... ;)
I no longer doubt the sincerity of your apology. I 100% disbelieve it.
(Plus you have no time excuse now that Jenna is back)

We're wa-----iting..... :)
steph-
i feel like you should wait a little longer. stop living with other people's demands!!! you know how it is with people, give them an inch and they'll take a mile? You know that they will not leave you in peace with just one post, they will keep harrassing you again and again. just a thought...
