Updates...

Hello Blogdom!! I guess it's been a while. It's that crazy-busy time of year again and so much is going on. Not only am I dealing with second grade homework (do you remember diagramming sentences or writing essays in second grade? Me neither.) and Pre-K homework (yes, it exists) but I am also having to deal with college homework. Having one in the workplace, one in college, one in elementary school and one in preschool is very time consuming...and that's just the one's that live here. I'll admit, I'm enjoying helping Alex with her English papers, am going to try Scott's cooking at the restaurant when I get my courage up, and can intellectually handle diagramming sentences and cutting out pictures of things that start with D. However, doing all this on little or no sleep is what's driving me crazy. I don't know why, but I can't sleep any more, even with all my allergy medication. Weird and frustrating...

Well, in other news, we moved! Since my last post was about our tiny little rental house, I should mention that we don't live there any more. We found the perfect house for us and moved in early August. It's so lovely to have a bathroom I can actually take a bath in! Even though I never do (shower person), it's nice to have that option. Heck, it's nice to have room for a bathtub...and two sinks! Can you imagine? Okay, well I know that's not earth shattering, but hey, I can appreciate it.

It's getting late, so I better go lie down and stare at the ceiling for 8 hours...I mean, go to bed. I still have some work to do for the U-NI-WI-SA-NA retreat next weekend. I can't wait for the kids to progress in their language studies. I have a feeling getting the kids to move from playing stick ball to the Cherokee syllabary is not going to be easy. Wish me luck!
