So Sorry ... Bad Blogger

So sorry I haven't posted for a week.

Is anyone even reading this anymore, lol!

Sooooo busy with school starting and my Wednesday night church class starting. I feel like I haven't been able to catch my breath

... trying to catch up on housework that got put off during the summer 'cause we were too busy having fun ;)

... trying to work on establishing a routine so our days go more smoothly

... trying to be consistent in working out and having regular quiet time.

... planning our 2nd Annual "Mother-Daughter" Weekend :) just me and my Ashley

... PTA stuff

... working on breathing in between all that, lol!

in short--overwhelmed.

And now for some "good stuff"

We had our first church class tonight and it was SO MUCH FUN!! I wanted to start off the year with something that would create energy and get them excited about coming for the rest of the year. We are working on Visual Arts, so each week we get to do a craft. The girls had a blast, and I had so much fun watching them (and of course listening to their girlie chitter chatter!). They're fourth and fifth graders, and they are too cute! I can't post the pictures I took because I don't have the parents' permission.

And ... the wall (to separate our property from the neighbor's) is being put up tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. YEAH!! We've only been separated by a chain link fence for five years, so it'll be REALLY nice to have privacy ... like when I go to the garage in my pajamas to get the laundry, lol!

I've been checking daily for a new post. And disappointed when there wasn't one. So, yes, someone is still reading your blog!

Yes - we are all still reading!! Even though you haven't blogged in a week - I still enjoy seeing Ashley smiling back at me!!

So glad your first class went well - that will set the tone for the whole year!! Very exciting!! It was odd not going to church last night - this is my first year not doing that in several.

It seems like everyone is busy these past couple of weeks with school starting so don't feel too bad. I'm glad your first class started off with fun! It sounds like you're really excited this year! Good job!

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

Feb Year In Review Layouts

Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!
Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
