Hi. It’s been a while. The summer was amazing, fun, tiring, exciting and more. School has already started and I’m back to my part time job outside the home on a regular schedule starting today! My classes have started and so has soccer practice for the kids. We are a busy family over here. I want to get back to being here so I thought I’d jump right in with 2 on Tuesday hosted by my friend Andrea!

Many fall shows are starting up again this week. What two shows are you most looking forward to?

I love when the tv shows are back. Of course, I’m so busy this semester (the reading! Why is there so much reading!) who knows if I’ll actually get to watch the shows I’m most looking forward to. I did watch Two and a Half Men last night – which was funny! I also watched How I Met Your Mother – a full hour of that show and it was really good! I did watch one HIMYM this morning, so maybe that doesn’t count? I don’t get up early regularly so it was a fluke to watch this morning.

But what I am looking forward to the most is Sons of Anarchy (okay it started two weeks ago) – have you seen this? I didn’t start watching until last season or so but I caught up through netflix. The other show I am looking forward to is New Girl with Zooey Deschanel! She was great in the handful of episodes of Weeds that I saw and I love her in Failure to Launch. She’s just a funny actress.

In all honesty, my DVR is going to be packed. But I have so much reading to do, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to watch anything! Probably at 6AM like I did today. 🙂

We have moved around the country so many times that whenever I thought of going to a blogging conference, I realized I couldn’t make plans that far in advance. We are now living close to my Mom and though I hadn’t planned on attending any conferences due to soccer, work, school and having a baby but the chance to win a pass to The Creative Connection conference in September is something I’m not passing up!

I would love to win this. The past couple of years I have really slacked on being active online. I had JW, went back to school to finish up my degree (in person and online), my older kids played sports, and this year I started working outside our home. All while my husband was deployed or simply not able to live with us. So my activity on twitter really died down, as did the posting on my blog. I sew and quilt and work on different projects with my kids, I just don’t seem to find the time to document it and post for my online friends to see. I would love to attend The Creative Connection and BlogHer Handmade. I would love to be surrounded by those who get what being online in a creative way means and see how their are thriving. I would also love to meet some of my online friends!

Somedays I love getting up and sitting outside first thing. Today was one of those days.

It is quiet and calm, the only noise is chirping birds (and one bee but I can’t see her so its okay). We are packing for yet another move, living among boxes for way too long, and this quiet is needed. Soon enough the kids will all be awake and wanting to play outside.

Summer has been good to us, Chris is on leave in between duty stations and has been a big help with the kids. He added chauffeur to his long list of titles around here, which I was more then happy to hand over.

I only wish there was a breeze. We are no where hear “hot” like the rest of the country, but if we don’t open windows at the right times the house is stuffy and unbearable.
