I know, I know. I wish I could tell you that I lead an extremely exciting life and that I just don't have time to write when I am doing so many exciting things. Things that are so exciting I can't even try to come up with a good lie and make this sound believable. The sad, sad truth is that I have been working almost every night (even though I only work part time...ie get paid for part time work!) But I am a dedicated educator and if I want things done right (um, well, my way) then I guess I have to make some sacrifices. I considered blogging yesterday afternoon, but you know when I only have an hour to do what I want to do, I end up making a list. What needs my attention the most at this moment gets done. Oprah and doing my nails won because I could kill 2 birds. And I always feel better after making my nails look pretty. Such a girly thing.

I have so much to tell you about, but another sad truth is that if I'm not writing as it's happening the humor gets lost in translation. I end up just trying to put it all out there and not always able to capture the moment. So as I am catching up on this past month--and it has been a busy one--I'll try to do better with keeping you up to date with what's happening now. I may try to give the Toddler Twitter a go again because my kids have been coming up with some really funny stuff lately. Case in point: remember the "you're my best friend" thing? Looking back, not sure I posted that, but the "you're my friend" changed to "best friend" somewhere along the line. It is now part of our routine at night, "I love you. You're my best friend." And Kaela says it, too. Only today while Kyle was driving home Kaela said, "[Daddy] I'm your best friend." She's got a mind of her own. Look for the Twitter quotes on the right to re-appear.
