running round the clock...

as the title implies, i feel like we've been running round the clock for the last 2-3 weeks. moving home has been great but would be even better if we were ever there. people ask, "are you all settled in?" if settled in means i know where to locate my underwear & my dishes are all put away then yeah, sure, we're settled in. if it means that all of the boxes are unpacked and my house is cozy warm with the glow of sanity, then no, not so much. i'm about to go crazy with the boxes but i just can't get them tackled. last week i thought for sure i'd get them done this weekend. i had a yard sale at our house but thought i'd get 'em whipped sunday afternoon. no go...saturday my grandparents stopped by the house & asked if we wanted corn to put up. i put some up 2 years ago & my supply is depleted & even though i didn't really want to do it i wanted it for my freezer. i'll appreciate it later this winter & next (i'm hoping it'll last 2 years again like it did last time). so yesterday we went out to pick & bless their hearts they'd already picked it for us! blessings!! so i came home with two huge feedsacks full. we got one all done--mike shucked while i cut it off so it went waaaay faster. tonight we'll tackle the other sack. so, even though it didn't fit my schedule, i'm excited about having corn for the winter months (& we're having corn on the cob for supper!). but, needless to say, the boxes still sit in the house.
maybe tomorrow.....

work is insano...i should be doing paperwork right now but everyone deserves & lunchbreak & today i'm taking mine! i have 2 students to begin testing this week...something i've never done before, so i'm a bit nervous about that. paperwork is literally falling out of my ears...oh well, i can only do one day at a time.

i'm getting really excited for my baby to come & for the baby shower. i'll be right honest--i love presents & i'm excited to see the baby blessings that come for this little one. andrea told me emma put a lot of thought into her shopping yesterday & i can't wait to see what she came up with. i must say that i think its pretty sweet that andrea let emma think about & choose something individual that she thinks my baby needs...emma's thoughtful like that & she always has a reason for choosing what she chooses.

i'm exhausted today. my tummy's feeling a little upside-o...probably just from being tired. i'm trying to force down lunch but its not sitting so swell...hopefully it'll stay in until i at least get home.

seems like i'd have something more exciting to blog about since i haven't been on in a week, but alas, i don't. so enough rambling. paperwork, here i come!

have a great week!
