im late...im late....for a very important date!!

ever feel like you are the silly white rabbit from alice in wonderland.....you know running around always looking at your watch feeling like you are late, but never actually getting to where you need to be........well that is kinda how life is for me now.....

we are constantly on the go.......everyone is super busy all the time and i seem to always be at work, even though changing jobs over to the school was supposed to mean less working hours......it didnt turn out that way....honestly, i dont have anyone to blame but me.....i have a very hard time telling people no and so i managed to become a co-leader/assistant for elizabeth's girl scout troop.....i also kinda got conned into bagging groceries at the commissary because they were hurting sooooo badly.....it was supposed to be for two days only and now it seems that i am there everyday......then the px is still working me into their schedule at the same time.....and all the while we still have dance and soccer in the mix somewhere too.....not to mention regular household work and dinners.......

even right now, i feel guilty for sitting here on the computer because we are having a welcome home dinner for a friend of ours husband who just got home from iraq (here thats a big deal, last year only four kids at school had a deployed parent)and as i should be straightening up the house and starting diner i find myself wanting to sit here in the quite of the moment, staring into our beautiful back yard in which all the trees are changing colors and leaves have fallen to the ground making it look like a soft golden carpet.......warm and inviting......

but as life of a supermom as my kids call me, i cant stay any longer.....i need to go and make enchilladas and rice.......i also need to work on the house a bit so that when they are in the oven, i can come back online and try to finish up with all the holiday shopping(internet shopping in the states was a matter of choice, here it is a matter of life)......

anyways, everyone here is good, just busy, but good.....we are still having some computer problems(stephen broke the usb ports) so we cannot use the magic jack till we buy a new computer and we also had to get new cell phones so if anyone needs the numbers, let me know and i will email them to you.......

we love and miss everyone!!!!!!!
