Neither Comatose Nor Hibernating



I have been absent from my blog, and was planning a post to catch up the one or followers as to the “why” of my absence.  Here is a comment from a recent blog on ANRspace.com that was written about me…

“I like following her blog -- and since there are 2 weeks between her Feb 13 and March post, I do suspect she has a 'life' apart from her blog unless she was comatose or hibernating.”

I will not address the negative person nor their comments here.  This blog is about why I’ve been absent.

Straight to the point – Not only am I a full time substitute teacher, I’m also a coach, the President of my local library advisory board and the Chair of the ArtHop committee; the library is putting on an ArtHop in May.

In my private life, I’m a single mom.  My daughter is also involved in a fair amount of activities outside the school: NHS, Jr. Library Council, Christian Fellowship youth group, and was on my team I coached.   So on top of keeping up w/ my busy schedule, I also keep up with hers.

If I didn’t mention it before, and I think I did…

My ultimate goal is to be married sometime in the next 4 years and begin working towards ANR after marriage.

Once my daughter has entered college and moves out, I want to be able to totally focus on my new(ish) relationship with my hubby and build a life with him.  At least, that IS the plan.  I guess only time will tell how successful I am in achieving this goal.

As with any journey, there are times when one must take a pause, or take a side trip, etc…

That is all these last two weeks have been.  A small pause in this journey to bring home the last two weeks with my team.  These final two weeks of the season were incredibly busy.  I didn’t date; I didn’t research; I barely slept.  I’d start my days at 5am, get ready for work, tend the chickens, and then leave.  I had work, then coaching duties, and meetings in between or after.  Many nights I didn’t get home until around 10pm.  Then I had to check over my daughter’s homework, and do what I do every weeknight to get ready for the next day.

I’d get to bed around 12am, and have to start my day again at 5am.

Yes, now I DO need to hibernate and sleep for a while… it won’t happen, but yes, I do have a life.

Stay tuned as I will be blogging soon about the 2 guys I had dates with ~ a total of 3 dates.
