My life has been crazy. Moving has taken a lot out of me. Probably the time of year. We had the start of school as well as both boys’ having birthdays which then rolled right into Halloween. It’s just been busy. And insane. I’ve barely been able to check my email most days.

So here’s the summary of the move: Moved. Unpacked. Most stuff organized. Started decorating the house. Still working on figuring out what I want to do with the kitchen. This has taken forever. I keep rearranging it. The cabinets are not the most ideal but I shall make it work. It’s all in figuring out how. So I’m mostly unpacked, it’s just the final stuff. And I need to make some big purchases for some of this stuff… we need a couple of bookcases for one thing. Something to hold our DVDs (any ideas anyone?). Etc etc. Also need a table and possibly something for china (affordable please) I’ve spent a lot of time searching for ideas for such things…

Keep getting colds. Dang nab it… I really think it’s allergies. It’s not enough to put me totally down and out but it’s been enough that combined with everything else, I’ve just barely been able to cope. But it seems that since the start of school in the end of August it’s I’m sick for a week better for a week, sick for a week… etc etc. The weather hasn’t been helping much either. I know all the dust from moving has been a BIG problem with this which is why I think it’s partly allergies.

PTA… I think I bit off more than I can chew. I’ve spent so much time working on this darned PTA stuff that I’ve lost a lot of my personal time. I’m not able to go to the school as often as I like (ironic eh?) just due to all the stuff I’ve been doing with the budget and the like with PTA. This has been a HUGE stressor in my life. Combine that with everything else… you start to get the picture.

School… Lots of activities that I’ve been going to. *YAWN* Getting tired thinking of it! Boys are doing well so that’s good.

Weekends… seems we do something just about every weekend some I’m still not resting when hubby is home! ROFL

Overall? I’m exceedingly stressed with just everything going on at such a normally stressful time of moving. Just an insane time for me I suppose. I hope that the insanity will settle down some… it’s always something for me though! But I’m happy to be in my own home and it’s great to be able to relax and etc.

Oh and I’ve been putting some of my own pictures on the walls of this house. That’s been fun.

Oh and on the photography note… I recently took some portraits of a friend… they were posted to my moblog if you looked. They were going to the USMC Birthday Ball. I’m preparing to take pictures downtown in DC again this month. We also want to go to the Temple one night and shoot the holiday lights there as well.

Podcasting: Still loving this though I’m behind in listening. Melanie and I plan to start PiP up as soon as we’re both healthy at the same time. (This week it’s the flue for her so she can stay away please! No sharing! HEHE) I am working on a Charmed podcast (feel free to check it out though I’m behind because last week I got crazy with other stuff and never got around to finishing what I was doing.. HAHA Too tired now though) over at http://charmedcast.blogspot.com

OK, this is too long. I’m too crazy still… don’t expect regular posting though I’d like to get back into the habit… I could really use the journaling each day again.

Oh I’ve been reading journals… just trying to be careful. I’m VERY behind in TV especially on LOST so trying to stay spoiler free. I’ll explain the LOST at some later date in time (like when I get around to starting season 2. Yes I do mean starting season 2. I think I saw like one episode. Long story short… hubby wanted to watch so had to catch up…) Do you know how limited you are on the net when you are avoiding television spoilers? Oh and yes… I’m very behind on Alias as well. Only saw the first episode of that as well. It’s all sitting here, taking up space.. HAHA I’m just very behind. Not enough hours in the day!
