I Am Sorry!

I have been so busy that I haven't posted much lately.  I don't like being too busy that I can't blog.  I like blogging.  It is calming and soothing to me.  I enjoy it immensely but lately life has taken over and I have not even been able to even start to blog.

These classes at L.I.F.E. are taking over my life.  And, I don't even want to be there.  I started these classes so that my daughter could get a writing class.  It has turned into more than I want.  I tried to quit but the lady that runs it said that since I signed a 'contract' that I couldn't quit.  I completely understand and knew that I had signed a contract.  It has just been too much and I am overwhelmed.  I am commited until May of next year!

The homework Caleb has is driving me crazy!  He wants to quit his zoology class but cannot make up his mind whether or not he really wants to.  There are some projects that we just do not want to do or cannot do because they require supplies I am not willing to buy.  I am sure we will stick with it.  I know that the education he will get out of both the science and the history classes will be of great value to him.  I know Erin is learning as well.  She likes her classes- history and writing.

We are hosting a Reformation Celebration on the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 31st.  We do not celebrate halloween.  I have never liked dressing up and I REALLY don't like sending my kids to strangers' houses- even if they are in my own neighborhood!  Preparing for that has consumed much of my time as well.  We will have some games and lots of fun I hope!  There is a state-wide burn ban so that means the bonfire is OUT, which is a bummer!  I don't know what we will do without the fire!  The fire just makes it all that much more fun.  Oh well!  Maybe they will lift it before then but I doubt it.

My husband performed his first wedding ceremony last night.  It was a great priviledge to witness the bond of two people who love each other pledge that in front of God and their witnesses.  I almost cried!  It was very small and at the park.  The sun had gone down and the temperature had dropped so by the time it was over, we were quite cold.  Thank Goodness for Hot Chocolate!

Well, that's what I have been doing.  Quite Mundane, I know.  Maybe next time I will have something exciting to report.

Until then....
