Partial List of Excuses

...of why I haven't been posting.

1.  Melani's activities:  coaching volleyball five days a week, boot camp twice per week, whistle hour once a week, Tae Kwon Do twice per week, homeschooling five days a week, cooking 3 meals per day or thereabouts, attempting to get a perfect score on a 35-day healthmiles challenge (meaning NO days off from exercise), occasional tidying and cleaning, endless laundry, training for half-marathon, getting everyone else to their activities, still stressing about Basia's medications, exploring the Franklin Mountains with the family, reading, church, other family/friend activities
2.  Brishen's activities:  computer club, Tae Kwon Do 5 days a week, 6th grade, reading all the books he got for his birthday and frantically searching for more, 1st El Paso homeschool field trip, Mission Possible Kids, church, playing his new birthday games as often as he can find someone to join him, preparing to be in a short film
3.  Basia's activities:  art club, Tae Kwon Do 4 days a week, soccer twice per week, Mission Possible Kids, endless crafts and art projects, 1st grade work, doctor visits, still holding tight to that snaggly front tooth

Only reason I'm posting now...I got home from boot camp when it was still dark, and the house is still magically quiet.
