It has been a while since I have had a chance to write. All that end of the summer stuff has kept me busy. Getting the kids ready to start school (and myself, as well!) can be challenging. We also took a vacation, which requires a lot of time and preparation. Our vacation was enjoyable--perhaps I will write about it at a future time. But now it is back to the regular routine of school and chores. I still have much to do. Planning lessons for the week and preparing for each day take up part of each evening. Girl Scouts start next week and I would like to get the kids back in swimming lessons. Not to mention all of our church activities. Oh well, I can't complain that I am bored!
