I just felt so alone. Paul asleep all day and gone all night. Leah gone all day and when she gets home RUSH to get everything done. Then when she's home on the weekend I'm working! Teacher work days are coming soon :) And I started getting some regularity to my schedule -- volunteer at school, quilt group at church, breakfast with a friend. It's better. Still hard but better. stmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861185283882984423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564303822661210562.post-22191231343666200022013-09-18T10:00:46.857-07:002013-09-18T10:00:46.857-07:00You are not alone, sweet friend.

There is just not enough TIME...not enough time together. But yes, we all need a soft place to land. And it is hard work to keep working towards all of that . . . together. Love you.ASChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884730757546153160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564303822661210562.post-962010075918567642013-09-18T07:33:37.142-07:002013-09-18T07:33:37.142-07:00I think I'll come stay a day or so and spend t...I think I'll come stay a day or so and spend time with my sweet little family.
