I apologize to everyone for being missing in action lately. It's been an extremely difficult week for us after losing a very special little girl unexpectedly that was really close to our hearts. My kids have especially taken the sad news hard so it's been a lot to deal with but we're slowly getting through it.
.
On top of all that the kids' school year will be coming to an end real quick and it seems that the teachers have decided to pile as much stuff on the kids as they possibly can in the short time they have left so it's been a little crazy around here to say the least! My house is completely upsidedown and there's nothing I can do about it at the moment. I am just counting down the days till the end of school. I am looking forward to not having to get the kids up and ready for school and having to help them with all their bazillion projects and whatnot!
.
When I stop and think of all the stuff I still have to take care of I find myself starting to panic so I just need to take one thing and one day at a time or I fear I will completely lose it...lol! Wish I had the power to freeze time...it would surely come in handy!
.
Anyway, I'm sure everyone else has a lot on their plate as well lately but I just wanted to check in and let you know I'm still here. There will be another KAL coming up real soon too...3rd Monday of June! I will post more details for you a little later on.
.
Take care and I wish you all a great day!

Hugs,
Rachel
