Mindy's Non-Adventures

Hello, friends. Despite my lack of posting, I've been doing a decent amount of writing, and it's good. I mean, I know I shouldn't say that, but a few things are really  good. You know how I know? I know because I can't bring myself to let anyone else actually read it. So there ya go. But really, here's the thing.  Everything that I want to say doesn't seem to fit in this space anymore. I started this blog mostly as a way to keep friends and family up to date as we moved or they moved...everybody was always moving. Then it morphed into a place to say some of the things. Not all  the things because I like to keep friends and acquaintances in my life. Even so, it was a place to drop some of my thoughts that needed to be dropped for the people that want to keep up with our world.  Now I've settled down enough that I can be slightly more focused. And so...I think this is the end of this blog. It's a little sad, but it's long overdue. This dinky littl...

Well...ahem. This is awkward. It's been awhile since I've posted anything. Here's the thing. February through April is always the hardest three months of my year. School wears me down. The weather is slightly depressing. I am buuuuuussssyyy. Between basketball, musical theater, school,  meetings for the end of the school year, meetings for planning for next  school year, well...it's exhausting. Also, we spent a chunk of that time thinking Jon was about to leave for 6 months. Then we spent another month adjusting to a new job and schedule. Also, I was writing all the dark and twisty things that can't go here and therefore had nothing left worthy of sharing. BUT. It's now May! My calendar is blissfully blank of obligations beyond the orthodontist. (Dr. Cox and I will never be separated for more than a few weeks for at least another year.) This week, my planner includes going to the pool, getting my hair done, taking Charlotte to her friend's house. Our Class...

Hello friends!     It's been about a month since I've posted anything. I told you I was slammed in January. This month has been full of basketball and birthdays. Things aren't quite ready to slow down, but I'm so close. Tomorrow is our last birthday of the month. Science fair will be done on Tuesday. Tommy's basketball will be done the weekend after Valentine's Day and Matthew's will be done at the end of February. Once Tommy has a car and can drive himself to work, I will not know what to do with all of my newfound freedom. Speaking of freeing up some time, I've made another decision that will be freeing up some time next year. I will not be directing my Challenge A class next year. This is my 3rd year tutoring this class, and I'm ready for something new. I think I'll need to be little more on top of things with the kids and homeschooling next year. I'll need to find something new to replace the income to pay for all the extra things the ...
