She Lives.

Gee, it's been so long- I don't know if anyone is reading here anymore. It has been a busy, full, roller coaster ride of a summer. Things are starting to wind down: my daughter went back to her dad's last week, my 17 yr old BIL, who was here for the summer has flown back to his home, I have been planning out grades K and 2 for the youngest two, and buying school supplies for our oldest son to go to public school for gr 6. I am kind of all over the map in thoughts, actions, and sometimes in emotions, so I am looking forward to getting back to some routine, while the spontaneous part of me is slightly dreading it. I am even trying to schedule in specific chore days for myself- baking bread on Mondays, washing bathroom floors on Fridays, etc. I love to make list and schedules, but they don't always get followed, so we will see what kind of order I actually keep. Sometimes I think that as we all ate, I remembered to gather all the children from whatever lessons or sports event we were at, and I managed to kiss my husband and hug my kids in a day, that would be enough. Unfortunately, I don't have hired help to help me do all the mundane things in life, like laundry, so I do have to get to items like that sometimes.

If you drop by, tell me how your summer went, and help me catch up. I haven't been on Blogger much at all and have missed you!
