Where Does it Go?

No, I'm not talking about money (although I wonder about that, too), or that matching sock, or that allusive sippy cup. I'm talking about TIME! I know you know what I mean. I thought I'd have so much extra time to blog since finishing the school year. Here I am, almost a month since my last post, at 11:00 pm finally posting a new blog.

So, what's been taking my time?

• The kids, of course.

• Life in general.

• In addition to these, I've been using my "me time" to work on a family website. Why? I don't really know... except to say that I must be neurotic and I decided that I have to learn the meaning behind all those mysterious html words. I'm happy to say that I made the site and it was actually fun! The problem I'm having is trying to get it published on my host (LunarPages). It's driving me nuts!! Once it's up and running, I'll give you the address. Everyone needs to have access to reading material to put them to sleep.

• Nate: He still thinks he is a baby bird. He still chirps and flaps his "wings". His "nest" is a pile of fluffy pillows on our bed. He calls me Mommy Bird and talks in a squeaky bird voice much of the day. It's all cute until about 5:30 pm, after he's been talking in a squeaky voice all day. Then it's just irritating.

• Andrew: I've started doing some school work with him, trying to get into a home-school frame of mind. I have been amazed at how well he reads! I had no idea- I was so consumed with how my students were doing in school, I didn't have the time or energy to notice how much my own son has learned! Well, no more of that! (No more being oblivious, that is... I'm not referring to learning!)

• Matt: Matt spent a few days at a worship leader's conference a couple weeks ago. He used to travel a lot for his job at Jazzercise so I'm used to him being gone. But, it can be tough being a single parent for any length of time.

• Me: I'm adjusting to life at home full-time again. I'm adjusting to not being able to go all over San Diego County to keep they boys occupied (gas is just too darned expensive so I've had to cut way back on our day-trips).
  

• Humming birds: I'm getting a tattoo tomorrow (Tuesday). So I've been spending lots of time trying to find the perfect picture/tattoo design of a humming bird. I'm so excited about getting a tattoo! My first. Matt is a little iffy about the whole thing (he's very conservative) but we finally came to an agreement regarding the tattoo thing. In case you haven't figured it out, I'm getting a humming bird tattoo.

OK, that's enough for now! I've got to get some beauty sleep. Catch ya up on us soon!
