Settling In

I have completely neglected to log into this blog, much less do any updates. Life has been a whirlwind since we landed here 5 months ago. Yes, it has been 5 months. Thanks for the comments a few of you have left. I miss you more than I can say!

The highlights -

teaching 3rd grade full time
working at 2 different gyms
teaching online for SPU
helping out at church
trying to make friends
going to Disneyworld and Animal Kingdom (day trips)
staying in West Palm Beach for my birthday (a friend watched the kids)
trying to find fun places for the kids to explore in Fl,
away from alligators, snakes and bugs
buying a car
buying a house
buying a house on a reserve full of animals, including a lake in our backyard with
an alligator, snakes and many bugs!
moving from the rental to our house
cleaning the rental
unpacking

This is the third night in a row I've gone to bed past midnight and I will wake up early to get to school well in advance of student arrival. Some mornings I need to be at the gym at 5:15 to teach a 5:30 class. This time is my sanity - it gives me strength and energy for the day!

I have always enjoyed being busy and doing a lot, but this is crazy. I wish My Hallelujah Song involved sleeping!!!!

I don't know if anyone will even read this, I'm ready to revamp the entire blog and take it into a new direction. Missing my friends and the Northwest quite a bit. THis is probably one reason I didn't blog. I couldn't think about what was left behind, but I needed to focus on where we are now.

Should I even go to bed tonight. or just get ready and go to work? I think the custodian opens the gates at 5 am....4 hours from now.

I definitely need to revamp this blog.



Happy New Year!!!
