M.I.A.

Our lives [well, o.k.....maybe just mine] have been a little crazy these last few weeks. I have missed blogging, but haven't had the time or energy to sit and type anything.

SO, I've compiled a list of "Life By the Numbers" as a brief recap of what's been keeping me away these last 3 weeks...

0 = number of blog entries :(
18 = hours I spent in an "Early Literacy for Struggling Readers" class
3 = attempts we made to take the kids to Knoebel's Amusement Park for the day
11 = the number of times I ate out [kind of tired of pizza....]
5 = mornings spent at Vacation Bible School
25 = family members who came to celebrate Ryan's birthday
3 = friends who came to scrapbook for the day
9.5 = hours spent scrapbooking with said friends
28 = words in the first Bible verse Ryan memorized [Philippians 2:10-11]
2 = days spent at the beach [one as a family and one by myself ~ thank you, Mark]
4 = interviewers at my most recent job interview
24 = hours between interview and job offer! :) :) :)
23 = days left before school starts
57 = miles of gas left in Saab until empty [not so much!]
1 = angry phone call to Mark to tell him there's something wrong with the car
1 = embarassed phone call to Mark to admit I did, in fact, run out of gas
3 = dollars spent by car salesmen for gas to help me get to a gas station [thank you Family Jeep dealer! :)]
6 = average number of hours of sleep I've been getting every night
7 = hours I'll never recover watching the "most dramatic" Bachelorette season EVER!

I hope to "catch-up" with you soon :)
