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!

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
