Blog...Check!

"You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide. Ain't that a shame? I'd like to back one time on a roller coaster ride, when life was just a game. No use in sittin' around and thinkin' on what ya did, when you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids. Sometimes it seems like lately...I just don't know. I better just sit back and go with the flow." Queen


Well, well, well. It has been a long while hasn't it? For some reason I had 2 of my cousins and 2 very dear friends on my mind all day. I was praying for them, and just thinking about them in general. Then I wondered....Why are they, in particular, on my mind so much? Do they have something in common? Then I remembered...Ohhhh yeah! They are the only ones who read my blog! LOL!! So, I had about half an hour before 'Sex and the City' (ultimate Christain girl's guilty pleasure!) comes on, I figured I'd pencil you 4 in! =)

Now, half an hour is definitely not enough time for me to fill you in on what's been going on all Summer long. Heck, I take longer than that some nights just picking out the perfect song for my heading. Tonight's was easy. I put on my Queen/Rush/Steel Dragon/Don Henley play list, and that on popped out at me in 3 seconds!

This Summer has been one of the busiest of my adult life that I can remember. At the beginning of last school year for the girls, I figured I would have my hands full with Nannette, so I volunteered to be head room parent at all three of their classes. Figuring that some one along the way would get neglected, this was my way of being in their life as much as possible. Umm, yeah...never again! Oh my gosh was it a chore! And not the good kind! Hahahaha

I like to try and keep myself as busy as the hours in a day will allow me since I don't have an outside job now. I'm trying really hard to stick to all my schedules and agendas without leaving any one or any thing out. I just know I'm going to get that phone call one day. You know, the one we've all gotten at one point in our lives....."You were suppose to be here 15 minutes ago, where are you?".

Seeing as today was equally as busy as all the other days this Summer, I'm going to cut this short. But, I will give you a preview of sorts. The following is a list of all the "Stuff" (Can I say that here?) I need to catch you all up on. Now, I've made promises about blogging daily before and broke them, so I wont do that this time. What I will say is, I really enjoy this! It's a wonderful exercise for me. Not only for my brain, but it's a nice outlet for me seeing as I really don't have many other adults to talk to during the week. So, on that note, I will try and get back here at the very least once a week. It's not much, but I've got a little bit of free time coming my way because GUESS WHAT??? SCHOOL STARTS TUESDAY!!!! Can I get an AMEN??? Woot, Woot!!!! LOL!!

By the way, I use to get really irritated at moms that looked forward to school during the Summer....To me it said: "I can't stand you, go back to school"! But, you know, now I "get it"! Hahaha

OK, here's my list of "Stuff", and I will get to them one blog at a time as soon as I can!!
