AWOL

Sorry for the absence, but I've been crazy busy! I hate it when life's like this. Sadly, I'm learning that in the ebbs and flows of my particular life, it just gets like this every so often.

I don't say much about it when life finally slows down, because I'm either (a) afraid I will jinx it, or (b) someone will hear me say I'm not too busy and will give me more #%$& to do!

So mostly, you will hear me complaining about how busy I am! Mind you, I am not complaining at this point, merely informing!

What have I been doing? Chaufeuring, and LOTS of it(to McNary, 2 dance classes, art class, and Pokemon league).

Plus...play dates with new friends, park days, orthodontist appointments, doctor appointments(Gillian had a sty), gardening(ie, digging, planting, moving, watering, weeding, mulching, moving rocks, buying and hauling soil amendments, weedwhacking, mowing, burning, shopping at plant nurseries), dance and piano recitals, recital rehearsals, payroll, taxes, bill paying, checkbook balancing, business paperwork, running, housecleaning, laundry, cooking, grocery shopping, summer shoe shopping for the kids, car shopping to replace the now unreliable van, buying and installing a new swimming pool, and prepping for and attending the used curriculum fair.

Then, in my SPARE time, I went to the Secret Garden tour, read Ben Franklin, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, and Same Difference, went to book group twice, and saw Star Wars with Clint and Chris.

I'm thinking positive, though. I'm just sure things are going to slow down soon! Classes are ending this week, after all, so that should count for something.
