I don't remember ever "feeling" this busy. Not really doing anything, but I'm doing it non-stop. Weird.
This past weekend was busy, but its not just that. Even at work, when I don't have a class, I've got this pressing feeling that I need to be doing something. When I find something to do, my mind moves on to the next task even before finishing the task at hand. I hate when I get like this.
Friday we had cake and ice cream with Lindsey for her 13th birthday. Her birthday is acutally on the 10th, but she wanted a dance and we're not allowed to have dances on Sundays so we had to do it on Friday. After cake and ice cream we went to the high school to watch Lucione and Megan play volleyball. Then we went back to the teen center for Lindsey's dance.
On Saturday we watched more volleyball. They lost all their games, but I'm so proud of them. They didn't give up, even when the score was 20 - 2. They played hard and Lucione actually got some digs and scored some points with her serve! I thought she did very well for a freshman considering we don't have junior high volleyball.
Sunday we baked bread. And by "we" I mean Michael. 28 loaves. That's a lot of bread. I helped a little, but not enough to matter.
Today I had a lot to do at work, but it was all desk work. I wasn't up running from classroom to classroom like I usually am, although I feel exhausted.
Craig's teacher shared a little story with me at the end of the day today. Craig is a complicated kid. He's extremely bright and has a quick wit. But he's easily annoyed and irritated. He doesn't handle noise very well. He's extremely competetive but hates to lose. He has a short temper at times, but has gotten better at controlling himself at school. So anyway, his teacher made a comment to him today.
She said, "Craig, you're doing great. You had a good day on Friday and another good day today. Two days in a row, I'm going to have to call home and tell Mom."
Without missing a beat, he replied, "Well, that's a first."

It's my daughter Kim's birthday today and we will enjoy her company during a bonfire this evening. I am making a cake to have with ice cream when everyone is done enjoying the fire here.
28 loaves! Oh my that is a lot of work! Mom used to make up to 12 loaves when we were growing up, and she had ten kids!
We also are feeling very busy here since Doug has his new job, but I sure love that he comes home every night and is here during every weekend!
28 loaves wow. We were given a bread maker yesterday and my Hubby is getting all excited about it!
My school is back and after 5 days I have caught a huge cold and infection... feel yuk but hopefully immune system will have kicked in and this will be the last one this year...... well I can hope!
Kids sometimes are really too quick for thier own good!
Oh that Craig. Gotta love him.
Glad you're doing ok. Ashamed at myself that I haven't made it here in the last 7 days...
**hugs**
Do you think maybe you just have blogger-burnout? I hope that's all and you're really still ok.
