Where Has the Time Gone?!

Man, what do I even write about? I've been so focused on my weight-loss blog this summer, that the family blog got really neglected. I barely got the Bear Lake Reunion posted, and here's a list of things I should have posted about, but didn't get to:

1. Zen's Allred Family Reunion, same weekend as the Bear Lake Reunion. Zen and the teenagers went on a 4-wheeler day-trip up in the mountains with the Allred clan.

2. Susie's visits, & fun times at the pool

3. Lots of cute Sammy, Emma, & Connor pics, and Dani and Gil being cute with the little ones

4. Still want to post the cards from Mother's Day and Father's Day

5. A trip to Cokeville to see Lily in the Junior Rodeo. It was really fun!

6. Connor's birthday, Dani's birthday

Maybe I could tackle one each day this week, but who am I kidding? At least two big posts are happening on Tuesday - Gil and Dani are going back to school in Gil's first car! And Connor starts kindergarden that day, too!

Ughh - could I freeze time for about a week, so I could catch up? Just when I sit down to do something and get into a groove, I have to do something for somebody. Will I get some more time when 3 out of 5 are in school? We'll see... And hello, could I get my Medical Transcription done?!! We are constantly on the razor's edge of "what should we pay with this paycheck, and what can we put off?", so many extra bills have piled up, mostly medical and dental, that it's a trick just putting food on the table right now. It just makes me want to cry. Zen is job-hunting on the side for something new, and we are praying constantly for a better job, something extra to happen so we will not be scrambling for money all the time. I need to get my brain in gear, so I can focus on the Medical Transcription, and get that done PRONTO. That probably means giving up some of my focus on my weight loss, but that's another saga. I know there are plenty of people in much worse circumstances than we are in (Sue and her family have been through the ringer this spring and summer, and are just coming out of it,) not just in this country but around the world, and I count my blessings, but I still keep hoping and praying for some relief.
