Don't send out a search party!

I received an IM today from a journal buddy wondering where I've been and I didn't even realize how long it has been since my last entry.  Wow.

We are fine. . .just busy.  I'll lay it all out for you:

1.  Wes is living at home. . .until January.  WE all changed our mind about sending him to Pensacola for college.  The school isn't accredited, and although the education they get there is great, he would be forced to finish there if he started and wouldn't be able to go on to grad. school even if you wanted to.  He wants to be a teacher and the state of FL wouldn't allow him to teach in the public school system with a degree from an unaccredited school.  So, he is going to Baptist College of Florida in January.

2.  I am preparing to begin teaching my Children's Choir on Wednesday.  I should have around 45 kids (3rd, 4th and 5th grades) in my choir this year.  I love it, but there is a lot of preparation involved.

3.  My cousin and her husband are in the Ukraine adopting a little boy.  I have spend much of my time going on their website checking for news and new pictures.  They have been married for over 10 years with no luck at having a child of their own.  This adoption process has been going on for almost a year now and they should be home at the end of this week.  My parents are coming down and we are all going to the airport to welcome little "Robert" into our family.  Very exciting.

4.  Stomach virus!  I was the first to fall prey and now my hubby has it.  It is very awful!!!!  I think I was a better patient than him. . .I really do.  I laid in my bed and just wanted to be alone and quiet.  Not him!  Honey, I need a wet rag. . .honey, I don't think I'm gonna make it. . .honey, I need water. . . honey, honey, honey!!  I'm not good at this.

5.  Choir practice.  My church choir is putting on a big. . .thing.  "Night of Praise" is what it's called.  We are doing a "Praise and Worship" cantata called "We're Here to Worship"  It is wonderful and exciting and a whole lot of work!  I am also in a ladies group called "Heartsong" and we are singing at a Ladies retreat on Sept. 17.  We have been practicing for a couple of hours a week for that!

There is probably more, I just can't think anymore.  I've been on the computer for over 6 hours now.  I've been planning my first children's choir event and writing out leaders guides for all my helpers.  Time .. . . .where does it go?

Well, I must get up and get some blood back into my butt!  I should probably check on the invalid. . .ewww.

~Later!
