I'm sure you've noticed that I've been missing posts lately. I'm trying to keep up, but there have been a lot of changes around here that are wreaking havoc with my schedule.
I decided to go back into the classroom this fall. I will be teaching 4th grade after 11 years in middle school. There's a lot to wrap my head around. I love my new school. My children will also be attending the new school district, which is a terrific bonus.
Some of you may remember that the buyer for my house fell through this summer, and I didn't get to move when I wanted to. Unfortunate enough at the time, it is still having repercussions. Our new school district is almost an hour away from our current (for sale) home. This drive, together with a child in each level school with staggered start times (we have to leave the house at 6:10 a.m. to make it to the first start time) and high school evening band practice, makes for very long days. I have chosen to stay in town some nights, but at the cost of not having internet access to write a blog posts. Hence the spotty posts.
I am seriously considering what to do with this blog. I love the readership and I love being a good resource. There's just something about helping others that's addictive (perhaps that's why I'm a teacher). But with my current long commute, I don't see myself being able to keep up with it as it should be. Would any of you know of someone who might be interested in purchasing this blog? I am not looking to make loads of money, but I also want someone who's serious about continuing the blog. That's one of the ideas I've been tossing around. If anyone read this far and knows someone who might be interested, please email me. I may post a for sale notice soon.
Keeping my head above water,
Laura

Laura, what you for others here is so purely generous...I think you are an amazing gal. (Your blog inspired me to offer a free mag theme list to my readers on my website!)
Missed entries are to be expected, especially given your full schedule. I doubt any of us here are keeping track, though. I'm so grateful for what you do, and I have absolutely no complaints.
Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do!
I would miss your blog, but can't do it myself. I hope someone out there can. Good luck with all your changes. I wish I could be so brave!
I just found your blog a couple of weeks ago and have really enjoyed it. You do a wonderful job and provide such a helpful service to many. While I hope you're able to continue the blog, I certainly understand if it doesn't work out. Your other vocations come first. God's blessings to you and your family as you adapt to your new schedules.
Laura -
How do you find time to breathe? I have enjoyed your blog, but believe it should be yourlowest priority at this time.
I hope your house sells soon.
I hope your class is full of students with supportive parents.
I hope you get some sleep on the weekends.
