Apparently having your spouse away for an extended amount of time, dealing with ER visits, doctor visits, legos up the nose, visiting friends and trying to get organized for school is more than a full time job.
So I fell off the face of the planet, and survived. I'm still here. I'm still considering those "finished bathroom" pictures and I'm still managing to survive. In case you're counting, we're in week 5 of the Lizard's travel. He comes home soon. I hope I remember to pick him up from the airport!
School officially starts next Monday, but I started yesterday. It kind of feels good to be teaching again, and I'm excited about what this school year will bring. I have classes scheduled, speech therapy scheduled, piano lessons (for the three oldest) are scheduled and karate continues to go full bore.
Speaking of karate, we've recently had a slew of advancements. Mighty Man received his first belt promotion to Yellow Belt. Little Miss advanced to green Belt as will the Lizard, when he returns from his worldly wanderings. And Monkey Boy and I both put on Orange Belt right before the other three promoted, so in a month, we've all advanced! Watch out world, here we come!
That's it for now...I'm back to the grindstone. I must get all of my paperwork and books in order if I'm to continue with school in the morning! Until I write again...
