I'm Sorry - I've Been So Busy Lately!

I wanted to say thank-you to everyone that has left so many nice comments over that past week or so. I also want to apologize for not visiting too many sites.

You know I just got back from BlogHer on Sunday. Well ... since I've been back, I have had lots going on.

Alexis' Birthday is this weekend and so I have been shopping and planning for that.

My twins are in the midst of getting their driver's license and I have been spending A Lot of time driving with them and completing the course (it's a Parent Taught course I have been doing for months!). Hopefully, we will go next week to get their license and THAT WILL BE OVER - FINALLY!

I've been working with my son on getting his summer reading done for 6th grade.

I have been trying to get the tangles out of Alexis' hair that got in there over the weekend while I was gone - HA!

I've been busy!

I've been catching up on paying bills and working in my husband's office (I do the bookkeeping for our business), doing lots of laundry, yard work and mopping floors - sheeeew!

I've also been writing blog posts and working on starting up another blog.

YES - that's exactly what I need - ANOTHER BLOG!

But ... I am - it's called On The Flipside and I will put a post up on Saturday explaining a little more about it. I plan to have it up and running on Monday. I hope you all will go visit.

Once again - thanks so much for always visiting me and please know that I miss you and will be by as soon as I catch my breath!

yay! Another blog to read! :) I can't wait!!!!!

Good luck with those tangles. I still fight the tangle monster, with my own hair, everyday!

Stella said...

Sounds like all exciting, semi-fun stuff. No one ever really likes Summer reading! :)

Good luck with the party and even more luck and prayers for the Licenses!!

Can't wait to see the new blog!

Amanda said...

No problem! But I want to give you a heads up that I am hosting a pay-it-forward contest and it ends on Friday 7/25 at 6pm (eastern time). You just have to leave a comment on the pay-it-forward post and you are entered! When you get a chance, check it out :)

Tara said...

You are just too busy Kellan, and remember "Life is like a roll of toilet tissue, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes"

Amy said...

Can't wait to see what you are coming up with next.:)

And keep us posted on those tangles.:)Tangles are some tough stuff...My mom chopped all my hair off in second grade because she had had enough of them....and she couldn't afford to keep buying Johnson and Johnson's No More Tangles spray.:)

Kel said...

Oh you busy busy woman! Wow, how exciting to start another blog...can't wait to see what you are going to do with it!

Angel said...

Welcome back Kellan - and don't worry about not visiting blogs - planning a kid's birthday party can drive one bonkers some times.

Good luck to your twins for their driving test - or should I say Good luck to you :)

Can't wait and am curious as to what your new blog is going to be about!

Steph said...

Kellan,

Glad to see that you are back. I have been away myself, however my reason is computer issues. Hope you can stop by soon. Look forward to checking out your new blog. I don't know how you do it, I can hardly keep up with one.

Brenda said...

Forgiven, I don't know how you do it all!

Valarie said...

I can't wait to hear about the Flipside. Good luck with the whole teaching how to drive thing. I am NOT looking forward to that phase of my life. :)

The Fritz Facts said...

Another blog! How do you have the time my dear!

Can't wait!

Good luck to the Twins and happy b-day to Alexis!

Rosemary Bogdan said...

You are amazing. I sure know what it's like to just get home from a vacation and all that catch-up stuff. Can't wait to see the new blog. I'll be looking for it. Good luck with your girls and their drivers licenses. I have one about to get his license too.

Sally said...

I couldn't wait to get back home and see how the conference went. I see it went WELL. I'm happy for you, and I know the family were excited for you to be home. Great job on all the posts. Take some time now for you!! I look forward to the new blog although I don't see how it can be better than this!!

Oh, and I love the shoes that hurt like hell. hahahha You're a trip!!

Angela said...

Sounds like you are very busy
I don't know how you manage your blog now, but you do a great job.

Hope you get caught up soon

Kami said...

You are very busy! Why is it 4 days away makes for getting 7 days behind when you get back? Murphy's law I guess.

:-)

Another blog! Cool. I'll be adding it to my reader.

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

I feel you. No one keeps the home fires burning the way Mom does--there's always a ton of catch up.

Joanna said...

Will the Flipside be snarky? Come to the darkside - we have cookies. :)

No worries one catching up. And I sprouted two grey hairs with the thought of your twins driving.

Jenn said...

LOL it's good to be busy - ugh I am dreading the whole "driving" thing - thankfully it will be a few years yet but EAK! :) Kudo's to you!

Me said...

I understand busy very much!! :) Good luck with the new blog, I'll be sure to stop by. :)

I will always love "On the Upside"; love the pix of the kids and all of the stories. The pix from yesterday are beautiful. But, I've already been over to check out "On the Flipside" and I am so looking forward to it.

Getting back to real life is rough after a fun trip! Can't wait to see the new blog.

Laura said...

WOW - busy busy! Make sure to take time for you.

I guess once the girls get their permits you will have TONS of time and can do a second blog...you will basically be home-bound since one or both of them will ALWAYS want the car!!!!

Looking forward to seeing and reading and enjoying your new blog!

Cheers!

duchess said...

Whew! You are one busy lady.
The tangle issue alone would tire me out.

Can't wait to see the new blog.

Adrian said...

My you have been a busy bunny haven't you? Are you stressing out about the twins driving? I about had a nervous breakdown when Matt hit the streets, although he drives like my grandma (thank God!). I can't imagine the stress and the insurance rates (yikes!) with twin girls.

Looking forward to the new blog.

Sandra Carvalho said...

We are all moms so we all understand what's going on, don't worry about that!
