unexcused absences

Hello, anybody home??

So- this is what I have been up to, and why I've been scarce around this little ol' blog...

Well, I recovered from our week-long-plus several days Bible conference: which involved the week before (okay, days before...) hectic cleaning and then the days- after of our house-guests slowly departing on different days.

Then our friends from Washington asked if their 3 kids could stay with us an extra week, because it would be fun..and we said yes, because it would be fun, and because they are our heart family....

Then our new 1 month guest- graduate Bible school friend moved in...

And we started our traditional post-semi-annual training (Bible conference) -Lord of the rings movie thon...we started Monday night and finished Thursday night.

Friends from Texas came over for our movie-thon- they were run off the road by a big-rig on their way out here for the Bible conference, and now they have to stay in town till their car is fixed...but not at our house. -Except when they are over for the movie-thon...

The Washington kids left early Saturday morning, and then I had to pack up Meg to take her to horse camp on Sunday. -and we served on children's ministry today... - and, I have to tell you...we had no music people today...we had to sing to a room full of K thru 2nd graders accapella...and we don't know the songs....or sing with them, I guess technically. It was really, really bad.

Should I add to my To-do list... "Learn to play the guitar???"

As for the To-do list, I completed 1 thru 6, then jumped to 8 & 9, then to 15,16, and 18.
Anything to do with homeschooling was skipped over, as was any mopping.

I am also frantically trying to finish up any ordering and registering for Meg's upcoming Irish feis- which will be her first...

I drove about 6 hours today total, taking Meg to horse camp and back...

I think I'm done for a while, kwim??

tomorrow will be a better day...nothing planned, and a bread pudding sitting in the fridge,
yum.
