Wow, has it really been that long?

I can't believe that it's been almost a month and a half since I last blogged. My life has become SUPER crazy. I thought that it would be easier living in town, but it just means I don't have as much down time. The house is coming along nicely. Don't know if we'll be in by Christmas, but I think shortly thereafter.

I've been knitting a lot, but not as much as I would like to.

I was laid up with a tilted pelvis for a few weeks, but things are going better. Soccer is in full swing here and now both girls are playing. And I'm coaching both of their teams.

The divorce of the ILs is going much rougher than I would have ever imagined. Mr. Outdoors and I are smack dab in the middle of things. It sucks! Let's just say MIL is in the depths of a mental breakdown and FIL has already moved in his girlfriend (they just filed the paperwork Aug 2nd).

Knitting pictures and such will be coming soon. I'm in full Christmas knitting mode. Since either we will be moving before Christmas, or shortly after, I've decided that I need to finish all Christmas gifts by December 1st! We'll see if I make it!

My birthday (30 part deux) was last week. It was great. I am teaching 5th grade. I have 17 kids (all disadvantaged like before) but it's cool just having the 17 and developing close relationships with them all.

I'm hoping to be a little more visible in blogland in the next few days. I'm sorry if I haven't been by in awhile!

((HUGS)) to anyone that is still out there!

Holy cow, you are busy! That sucks about the divorce, my parents went through a nasty one about 5 years ago, and as much as I tried not to, I still got put in the middle. Hang in there :)

I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering if they had finished your house. I'm so envious!

And that REALLY sucks about your ILs. I hope your MIL is ok.

Welcome Back!

I was starting to wonder if I should worry.

I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying teaching--and that your class is such a reasonable time.

(((Hugs Back)))

Glad to hear everything is ok. So is there going to be another Project Soaring Eagle again this year?

Oh yeah, and in-laws getting divorced sucks! It all becomes 'he said' 'she said' bs. I hope that phase of it is over quickly for you.
