I'M STILL ALIVE!  Wow!  Things have been absolutely crazy here, and while wanting to blog, I knew that there were other things that needed my attention.  Here's some of the highlights over the last couple of weeks:

• We started school, in the kitchen because the school room still wasn't cleaned and organized, but I was determined...
  
• While spending any spare time in the basement trying to clean the school room, the toilet overflowed after sick three year old was in there... (keep in mind, we have a toilet that is never supposed to overflow).  I was cutting my son's hair at the time, so I didn't worry when she said it wasn't flushing... hey, I knew it wasn't going to overflow, right?  So when my son's hair cut was done, I went to tell the other son it was time to get out of the shower and... opened the door to 2 inches of standing water.  My husband came in, starting plunging... poop every where... (oh yeah, and I'd just deep cleaned the bathroom the day before, of course).  I ran downstairs to see if it was leaking through, and stopped at the bottom of the stairs... it was POURING in from one side to the other in a steady stream... SO... I had to spend a few days getting things back to the chaotic state they'd been in prior to that little episode.
• My husband and I went to Denver, Colorado for a few days.  We've never went away for that long since we've had children, and I've never been away at all from my one year old.  It was a wonderful time, but we're glad to be back.  I'm so thankful for the time I had to spend with him alone... it was so nice and I'm so thankful for the renewing time the Lord gave us.
• I'm still working on the Clean Heart site, and the "BOOK TALK" forum with the little time that I've been finding.

So... as you see, it's been a little busy... I've missed writing, and missed reading your blogs even more.  I hope you're all well, and I hope to get back on track here soon.  I hope your school years are going well and that you're families are safe and well.  Remember to cherish the moments, in light of the hurricane.  God Bless you all...

In Him,
Amy
