Just Life

 I'm still here, if you are still reading.  "This" usually happens as we start to dig deep into school.  What is "this" . .. I disappear a little.  

We are having a beautiful fall.  Every year I wish we could take off on a color tour but it doesn't happen.  We did take the long way to get our pumpkins so we could enjoy some color.  I figure that is better then nothing! 

School is taking up most of my day - basically from 8:45-3:30 I am doing something related to school with my kids.  Some weeks it starts to lighten up on Thursday and Fridays can be more free but the reality is that the work load is heavier this year with middle school and I'm having to spend more time studying lessons ahead of time to make sure that I know what is coming.  I often spend time in the evening reading through lessons so that our days go smoother.  Because of that, I don't have much time to be creative and write posts!  

It's also true that as we buckle down deep into lessons and projects that life is a little, well, boring, around here so that doesn't leave a whole lot to blog about on a daily basis.  I'm working on a few ideas for the second half of the month but it just might be more quiet around here for a bit!  The holidays are coming, though, so it usually picks up!  

That's life for now!  School, School, and more school!
