I know, I've totally fallen off the blogging wagon. At least this blogging wagon. And I apologize. The lame excuse is (as it always is) that I'm ridiculously busy. I think I have a problem... I am absolutely TERRIBLE at saying "No."
Right now we're a little busy. I'm still team-teaching the preschool Sunday school class at my church. I'm also Chair for the Board of Witness & Outreach (think marketing and missions/ministry support). I'm also on the church Social Media team which handles all Twitter correspondence. And by being a Chair of a board, that means I'm on the council. Did I mention that our senior (and only) pastor just announced his retirement? So things are a but busy on that front.
Now for non-religious activities - I'm on the board for our pool club. It all started when I agreed to help plan a fundraising dinner for the pool, and had a tendency to take over management of it all. And what do you know? I found myself on the board. ha! So I'm the Fundraising Chair... which means I'm in charge of the fundraising events. So in addition to the dinner, I'm also learning how to be a Race Director for a brand new trail run & swim (think "splash 'n dash" all my runner friends) that's happening in June. I'm not a runner and have never participated in a race, so this is all brand new to me.
Then there's the fact that I have a 3 (and a half) year old, and a 1 year old. Plus the 3.5yr old is going to be the flower girl in an upcoming wedding, so we've been shopping for, ordering, and now have to do fittings for the dress. Plus planning for the family trip out to the West Coast in July.
And finally (ha!) I've been working with my sister on a surprise 60th birthday present for my parents. We're organizing a family vacation down to the Gulf in October. So researching rental houses, rental cars, driving routes, airfares and schedules... the whole thing. At least that's been announced so I don't have to worry about keeping it all a secret anymore. Phew!
Ok, now that I've listed most of what's been occupying my time (aside from the daily life, right?) I have to go. It's time to get the girls up from their nap and get my preschooler over to dance class.
