Advent Update

Howdy folks!

I know that some of ya'll actually read my blog. Why you do this, I haven't a clue, but just so you know -- I haven't given up or given in, but I have to put my internet connections on hold for a while (get it? its a joke...)

See, we've moved many many times, and I know that I HATE living in an unsettled, disorganized, messy home with an inconsistent schedule. I loose things, forget things, and let people down. Yuk. Also, knowing that we may only be here two years, I didn't want to let settling in drag out. Why take a year to unpack when I'll just have to pack it up again another year later? So, I gave myself a timeline. I wanted to be completely unpacked, functioning smoothly, and settled in by the end of the year. Why? Because I want to have people over for dinner from time to time next year, and I know we won't do that unless we're settled in. Also, I have these kids who are growing up and needing attention. I have to help them adapt to city living just as much as I have to make sure that I'M adapting to it. This is rather time consuming and draining.

So, there it is. I'll be back...
-- but probably not until after the Mummer's Parade.


Peace Out!
