29 days

School and kids and life are all-consuming at times.  A house to clean.  Flowers to water.  Sheets to change.  Meals to cook.  Dishes to wash.  Cars to vacuum.  Decks to sweep.  Grass to mow.  Trash to carry out.  Clothes to fold and put away.  Tubs to scrub.  Dogs to feed/walk/water.  Bills to pay.  Parents to visit.  Children that need a listener who cares.  A husband who needs encouragement and understanding.  Time to rest.  Time to love.  Time to live.

It’s been 29 days since I posted anything.   This week won’t be any better.  Papers to grade,  tasks to accomplish, lists to check,  plans to make, lessons to write, meetings to attend.  Sometimes I want it to all go away and sometimes I dread a future where there is time to fill and no idea  about what to fill it with.
