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...

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...

Random "me" stuff

By Carmela
Update about the jail visit :  We were not able to go this weekend because communicating with an inmate is a little bit complicated, so we were not able to set up a time.  I am praying that it works out this week.  My friend will get back to me.  Also, I found out that I cannot bring him anything.  If I want him to have a One-Year Bible, I have to order it online and have it sent directly to him at the jail.  I will be in prayer about that as well. Today, I'm keeping it very light.  I have had A LOT of time to myself this summer, so I wanted to show you how I've been spending my time: a LOT of getting my classroom ready! My favorite part is the back wall (ready for student work!), so I thought I'd show you that today. the back of my classroom! We will have a "Fruit of the Spirit" Tree in which the kids will each have a paper apple with their name on it.  When they see a classmate demonstrating one of the fruits of the Spirit, they w...
