Hey all...

...I'm alive! LOL! Just barely.
Sooo sorry that I had to drop off for a while. School
started...I teach at a local community college (2 classes, 42
total students...most I've ever had) and I started home
schooling my 4th grader this year. I was/still am SWAMPED!
Home schooling is a blessing and has had many unforeseen
challenges. And, I still believe it was the right decision. My
daughter is actually learning new things this year and is not
bored and we are NOT dealing with the negative social issues
that we were at the local public schools.
Then our family received bad news. My husband was put on a
performance plan. He was told to shape up or he would be fired
in 30 days! OUCH! Well...many ups and downs since then...but
basically he is looking for a new job and will be unemployed
after November 30th. Crazy! But this means a move for our
family. DH is looking for jobs all over the country. Who knows
were we will end up.
So this means we have to get ready to sell our house. It needs
a major deep clean and painting and minor repairs and
de-cluttering, etc... We won't be putting it on the market
until he has a new job. Who knows when that will happen.
I also have my brother and girl friend coming for a week over
Thanksgiving. We will be celebrating Christmas with them also.
So basically...I'm still swamped...scrapping a little, but not
much. I don't really expect things to calm down until after
this semester ends in December. But then I'll be in the get the
house ready mode. And holiday mode. Sheesh...it just never
ends.
I miss you guys and hope to eventually get back here. I just
don't know when. I hope you can forgive me!
But in the mean time...keep chatting and scrapping!!!
I'll try and pop in ounce in a while!

Wow, take a deep breath! Life sometimes throws us for a loop,
not much we can do but deal with it the best we can. You sound
optimistic about things, that's really good.
We miss ya but understand. Hope you'll pop in whenever you can!

Oh goodness Janet, you are busy ... so sorry to hear there will
be so man changes in your future, but sometimes they are for the
best. I know all about the cleaning, decluttering and listing
the house thing, mine has been on the market for over 60 days
and only two showings, with no bites yet. Wishing that it would
sell so we could move on to the next stage of our lives. Lots
of stuff new here every single day ... but we get through it.
Sending you wishes for only the best to come, hoping you'll get
some me time in there. Love you and miss you.

Janet is so good to hear from you. Hope you find a little me
time along the way, it's important just for sanity sake.
Prayers that your DH finds work real soon and that is the
perfect match for him.
I have been de-cluttering for a while now, I don't know how we
end up with so many "things" that are really just that things.
Good luck in everything.
Stop by once in a while.
