i just miss blogging.

it seems its one of those times that blogging just gets pushed to the back burner.

and i miss it. really truly.

most days i come home and wonder what i could even say. 

i could tell you about my crazy 7th graders that sometimes drive me crazier than ever.

or how i hear "gangnam style" at least 5 times in one period alone.

[one of these days i'm just going to bust into the dance...just to see what they'd do.]

[and if you're wondering...this is the best video of it. ever. mom...let's do some stankylegg on ellen!] 

i could tell you about how my butt still hurts.

or how most days i just am not in the mood to make dinner so it's cereal night. 

i could tell you about my small little successes with the "troublemakers" at school.

or about how sometimes i talk about my brother on a mission and cry every time.

oh, and that i cried watching romney's concession speech. i just think of him as a very gracious man.

i could tell you how last friday night i found out they have icarly on netflix and watched more episodes than should be socially acceptable.

or how the only reason i go to the gym is so that i can watch HGTV. 

i could tell you about the reminders i have of when i feel overwhelmed with a lot to do, those are the weeks i have the most opportunities to serve. reminders of "a person to be loved is more important than a problem to be solved." always.

or about my realization that there really are daylight hours in the winter...i was just never awake early enough to realize there were so many.

i could tell you about how i really have no plans in january.

that i couldn't resist and bought christmas decorations last weekend.

or how this week i've just felt really grateful for my family. immediate and extended.

this is my life. in it's every unordinary way. 

maybe one of these days i'll get back into the swing of things. 

[that is, after i spend my time writing my teacher work sample rather than my oh so interesting life.]

until then... keep on keeping on.
