Busy Days!

It seems like a long time since I posted! The days have been flying by and vacation time for kids is over. I have found a new job, teaching adults ESOL at night! I am really excited about this and ready for a change. I also hope to find day time teaching if I can.
In a few weeks my friend is coming from Japan to stay with us. This holiday weekend my husband and I are going to be working like crazy to make our house look great! We have lots of little projects that we want to finish before she comes. I think we can get stuff done if we really work hard at it!
I've been knitting a lace shawl all summer and now that I'm on the border part again no one seems to be able to help me. I went to the yarn shop today and the owner couldn't understand the directions. Too bad.... guess I'll forage ahead by myself and hope that it is right.
Anyway, I'm going to enjoy this last long weekend before it back to work! ^_^
