where has my blog-time gone?

The summer has been flying by much too quickly for me. Somehow my idealistic dreams of days spent lazily reading and blogging by the pool while the children happily splashed around have been FAR from reality. It's not been a bad summer...just unbelievably busy, each day flying here, there and everywhere! It seems like at the start of each new week I think, "This week we are gonna slow down and stay home...", but it never happens. Oh, well. We're having fun, and I'll continue to try to squeeze in some down time sometime in the next 5 weeks (yep, I just counted and that's all that's left of summer before we start school... *sniffle, sniffle; wipes a tear*).
