why, hello!

Well, my patient friends...

I do apologize for my absence!

I'm alive and well, 'cept for some persnickety cottonwood allergies! These past few months have been sort of a blur, as we've been playing for multiple weddings, the last of which is this weekend. After that I'm free until the end of June. Phew.

But here is the really great news. For the summer (at least), we've made the decision for me to reduce my hours at school to part-time! (Our school is both a preschool and a full-time childcare facility.) My new schedule is 1:00pm-5:30pm. Today is my first day, and I'm loving it! I imagine I'll be blogging more often. :)

This morning has shaped up to be quite a nice one so far:

Woke up husband. Check.
Made coffee. Check.
Sent husband off to work with a prayer, bagel, mug of coffee and kiss. Check.
Put an old hymn to new music for Communion this Sunday. Check.
Drank, um, 3 cups of coffee. Check.

Some more things to do this morning:

Read a Psalm.
Shower.
Finish tab-tops for new kitchen curtains.
Fold laundry.
Start dinner.
Load of dishes.
Call parents and wish them a belated anniversary (oops!).

Looks like I've got my next two hours cut out for me! I'll check back in later.

Blessings,

Sarah Marie
