Well, so much for trying

2007 is about to end, and I have thought about blogging all year, but you can see how far I got! I'm really going to try to get blogging in the next day or two. Now this could be a New Year's Resolution I can keep!

Things have changed since last January. Oh, boy, have they changed. The beginning of 2007 found my husband in a crisis health situation. I was teaching - love teaching! - but so stressed with working and being DHs caregiver. Even with sitters, it was a rough row to how! So early in May I took a giant step. I took Family Medical Leave and never looked back. This fall I have officially retired after 29 years of teaching. DH is doing better, although still needing 24/7 care. But my stress level is much lower, I'm enjoying being home with him, and I'm starting to adjust to more time for me. I say adjust because after many years of working, caregiving, and being wornout, there wasn't a lot of time for me.

I've recently cleaned out and "organized" the craft room, so maybe 2008 will be my "Year of the Blog" and sharing my creations.
