You post three posts on Friday and then you abandon us for three days&#8211;what gives?<\/p>\n<p>Well, don&#8217;t you wish you knew!  I&#8217;ve been kind of busy here, folks.  Since I blogged last, we&#8217;ve: driven up to Smithfield for Ryan&#8217;s nephew&#8217;s &#8220;mission farewell&#8221; on Sunday, then drove back in time to go to a neighborhood potluck dinner (too much food!); went to a friend&#8217;s 40th birthday party and the kids ended up playing in the ditch until they were soaking wet; I went to see the Nanny Diaries with some friends; John and I went to the zoo with friends Melinda and Will.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also been working on a skit for the reflections kick off assembly.  I&#8217;ve got one written now, and I&#8217;ll tell you it&#8217;s a riviting script with four witches and a fish.  Stellar writing, that one is. I&#8217;ve also got to get the handouts ready, figure out when the due dates are, and get everything ready for Friday.  Am I remotely ready?  Nope.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m also planning John&#8217;s birthday party for Saturday, and we finally went today and bought the invitations and filled them out.  We&#8217;ve delivered 6 of them, and he&#8217;s bugging me to deliver the last two.  We&#8217;ll be going to the fire station to take a look at the trucks.  I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll tell you all about it and include pictures of the excitement.<br \/>\nAnd, I&#8217;m working on writing an article for the upcoming &#8220;Keeping Tabs&#8221; newsletter.  That&#8217;s the tabernacle choir&#8217;s semi-annual newsletter, and for the last couple of issues, I&#8217;ve written an article about the bell choir.  Have I not mentioned this before?  Oh.  I don&#8217;t even really remember how I met the editor, but we started talking, and I must have emailed her a picture she asked for, or something.  But later she emailed me and asked me if I wouldn&#8217;t mind writing an article about what we are doing in the bell choir.  And she just keeps asking me to write one.  Probably because she doesn&#8217;t know anyone else to ask to write it, but I&#8217;m ok with that.  She even listed me as an &#8220;associate editor&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/albums\/07-Apr-2007\/IMG_4641.thumb.jpg\" \/>  <img src=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/albums\/07-Apr-2007\/IMG_4642.thumb.jpg\" \/>  Can you believe that?  Me an associate editor?  You can actually read the whole little article I wrote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ericksonfamily.com\/gallery\/07-Apr-2007\/IMG_4640\">here<\/a>, if you are interested.  But I&#8217;m rambling (what else is new?).  So, like I said, I&#8217;m working on another article for that.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ve been a little bit busy and haven&#8217;t gotten to the blog.  And my son seems to think he needs to use my computer every moment that he&#8217;s home.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 School project?\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 Whatever.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 What&#8217;s your excuse?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where have you been, Paige?
