Trying to get a grip

[amyole]

Since the start of school, I have been so completely out of the loop. I haven't had much time to check in here and have not worked much on my Magnolia. I don't remember the start of a school year being like this (at least for this length of time). I don't have my "flow" yet - and I'm not sure when I will! I am trying to ignore the pile of correcting in my bag right now... and the laundry... and the mess on my desk, etc.

On a positive note, I stopped by the Earth and Tree yesterday for their October sale. Found some lovely treasures for myself (!!) and some things that will work in the houses that I will donate. The Magnolia is almost done - I might be able to finish her today (but I've been saying that for weeks now). I'll try to post pix as soon as she is ready.

Bless you!  One of the best things to happen to me as a school nurse was when the principals got the school board to let the school offices stay open through the summer, as that was when I could spend full time in the records room reviewing each child's immunizations record and get the letters to the parents ready.

I also work for a school system... We started school July 31, and I am still slammed. So I surely know how you feel! In the past it has always eased up first of September. But I still see no end in sight!!

I can relate to the feeling. School started in September, and I just don't feel like we are in the groove of it yet. I think it's the weather. We've been getting hurricane leftovers instead of cool fall temps. I actually had the AC running for most of the weekend

Wish I had been with you for the Earth&Tree visit, love that store.
