Where did the time go?

I have not been able to blog successfully in almost month ... see as I type, Austin is yelling "Mommy, help me, I have got to go to the potty and you need to see!" .. ok, hold on, I'll be back in a moment ....

{ Walks away, runs to the back of the house. }

I'm back.

Like I was saying, so many things have pulled me away from blogging and reading some of my favs, but I admit, I have been focusing on my family and I kinda like the feeling I get when I see them fed, clean and happy mommy is rolling on the floor w/ them.

We have been sick, celebrated two birthdays, went on vacation for Thanksgiving ... (oh yeah, those are the last photos you saw from me .. hehehe), Ethan played in his first Christmas concert at school, I have been spending a lot of time at the school on behalf of Ethan (tests, grades, Parent-teacher meetings) and working with the PTA.

I just started Christmas shopping and gift making this week, I ripped some wallpaper off the walls in the kitchen and now need to paint (great a week before Christmas), I am trying to redecorate my master bedroom, clean the house from top to bottom and declutter and get those items to the salvation army before December 31st and we are planning our Family Christmas servant project Monday.

Needless to say, while I enjoy blogging, I won't be doing much of it until after the first of the year after I organize my days better .. that way I can continue to contribute to my history project for generations to come and to entertain the 12 of you who continue to stop by periodically.:)

Merry Christmas to you and yours~!
