Holy Jebus, Batman!

Life has been unbelievably busy for the past two months. In the last sixty days, I have done the following:

1. Bought a house
2. Wrote a 20-ish-page paper and took a final exam for an education class
3. Moved into a new house
4. Escorted 25 ELL students/teenagers to a local Speech Festival on the bus with the driver from hell
5. Redesigned my school's ELL program/course-offerings
6. Met my (wonderful!) step-children, Gabriel and Leo
7. Spent a weekend on the Big Island of Hawaii with hubby and step-children
8. Grieved the loss of my family's 22-year-old cat, Chelsea
9. Flew to Washington, D.C.
10. Attended my sister's graduation
11. Visited with parents and my DC friends
12. Attended the wedding of two good friends
13. Chased around 30+ ELL students to ensure that they pass English (and graduate from high school!)
    
14. Suffered a 14-day-long sinus infection
15. Budgeted for and ordered a years' worth of ELL curriculum materials
16. Completed some long and random federal monitoring report
17. Wished Aloha Oe' (until we meet again) to my deploying hubby and sweetheart
18. And probably at least a dozen more things I can't remember right now...

Holy Jebus, Batman! How did this happen? When did life become so crazy? And can I really get off the crazy train now?

Its been a fun, but wild ride. Many good things have come into my life, even thought many came at a pace that I have barely been able to maintain physically or emotionally. For those blessings, I am thankful. Now that I am coming up for air, I hope to share a little about them with you in my next few blogs, even if they aren't exactly "news" at this point.
