Wow! I guess I have been a little busy lately.....

Really?

Just a tad...although I am not complaining one.little.bit....

I am just explaining.

I do love to blog, but lately this activity of mine has taken a back seat...to my busy life.

It makes me sad.

I miss reading all of your blogs....
I miss your bloggy friendships.

I just need to get 'my groove on' and get organized with my new....ummm, activities in life.

First of all...
I am teaching again!
Just a little...but, enough to keep me busy preparing lesson plans and grading papers.

I teach two 8th grade Language Arts classes every day from noon until 1:30pm.

I love, love, love teaching middle-school age children.
They keep me young.
They keep me humble.
They keep me smiling!

Secondly...
I am gratefully involved with An Orphan's Wish!
This is truly one of my greatest joys in life.
I get to 'work' with a bunch of great women and (more importantly)...the children.....I get to witness first hand how {through} sponsorships their lives are impacted and improved and enhanced....I get to witness first hand how they are loved and cared for by the compassionate caregivers at An Orphan's Wish!  I get to witness and rejoice and celebrate when surgeries and rehabilitation treatments are successful!  I get to witness first hand when a child is adopted!
O the joy of it all!

Thirdly....
A pretty much the most demanding adjustment of all....

Having two little ones in school again!!!

Shea is at school all day. (Kindergarten)
Avery is at school in the morning for 2 1/2 hours. (4k)

Lots of running around and picking up....
To say the least!

Hey, I am just excited that I was able to manage writing this post!  Ha!

My goal:

TO GET SUPER ORGANIZED 
STAY ON TASK
FOLLOW AND KEEP A SCHEDULE (probably would help if I made a schedule)

Anyway, like I said...
I am not complaining or even (heaven forbid) whining...

I'm just explaining my lack of posts...

Missing y'all and hoping to do a better job of staying in touch!
