surprise Blog - life after cricket

Some of you have been missing my blogs. Well here is an update on life after Cricket. Work has been busy - too busy for me since i did not really want to jump in with all my body so fast. I was thinkin' I'd get some things cleaned up and then get stuff ready for Sept 8th when people go back to school/work. One couple said as we left Deltaville for home, "when you get home you will need a group to attend of sailors displaced." I laughed and thought it was funny but he was so right!
You all should see my calendar! Most all the weekends are full of this training or that, this MRID meeting or that, church meetings this or that, going to visit Annie in chicago (she is going to school there, this year at North Park), ... I have scheduled one weekend "open" a month sept and Oct. for Ben and I to do fun stuff. Plus we want to go camping of course. During the week, I have so many projects that I need to fit into my regular work stuff, accouting, taxes, financial projections then add i.e. make videos for the web and also videos of ASL training classes and a Deaf Awareness demo DVD. All this and pick up extra interpreting hours cuz we happen to be short interpreters in the busy season. Oh don't forget my mom and visiting her once a week, I have a hubby I want to do things with, I have church thursday night youth/young adult groups, wednesday is my group, mrid fund raisers, mrid meetings, etc... are any of you getting the overwhelmed feeling? eeeeek! oh and I want to visit the land and feed the birds. When it gets like this, when i see the hand writing on the wall then I usually retreat to the woods and take all my schedules with me and start slashing out things and making priorities, I schedule my time differently. many times i don't do this until October, but this year I think it might happen the first week of september. i do delgate a lot of my work (right staff?!) I'm going to have to prioritize better.
on top of the overwhelmingness XANDER KITTY IS LOST!!!!
he is my chubby orange tabby! he loves everyone and lets you hug him anytime you want. (which is not like Kiko) he is mellow and loves to loaf around the house, he loves training classes held here at the house so he can sit on each person's lap during a professional class. on wednesday night we was outside - there was rain coming - he has not come home since!!! I am so depressed and distraught! I love that cat and he loves us. he is a home-body not meant for outdoor living, he likes to sit on the porch and watch people... the office staff will miss him but not as much as Jase and I. (It is jason's cat) I am sad sad sad! I'm not feelin in the mood to do too many things right now. yes, i have put out flyers, called all the places, put an ad in craigs list... etc. i have left no stone unturned and nothing. so pray for Xander-bibbles!
so that is life after cricket!!!!
