A quick one

Rach this is for you : )

Yes, I've been slacking big time on any and all blogging but I have to say that I have been extremely busy and then on top of it I've been sick for the last week. I know, I know, it's been months so that excuse doesn't hold up well for the last months I haven't blogged but I thought I'd throw it in for sympathy. 
I never knew life could be so busy and I am trying to figure out how to balance everything. I don't know if this is completely possible but I'm trying and sometimes I have to remind myself that I am trying and pretty hard I might say. Now that the January Kids' Directories are out I am focusing on getting more advertisers for the March/April issues since I just have a few weeks until my next deadline. Where has the time gone? Is it really January 13th? I thought I'd have plenty of time to make calls and get appointments, and I do still have time, but it's practically the middle of January already. Crazy! What's exciting this week with the Kids' Directory is that I have had three people call me wanting to know about advertising so that's really great! It's so nice to have people call me instead of me always calling people. 
I will end this little post with a funny quote from Noelle. Today Noelle got a sad look on her face and said "Mom, I lost my smile". To this I replied "I'm sorry to hear that, where did it go". She said something to the effect of "my lips bit it off"! It was the funniest thing! I tried hard not to laugh about it because she was really serious but I could barely contain myself. Ahhh, Noelle.

that Noelle is a funny one--I don't know where she could get if from, considering she has two very serious parents who NEVER even crack a smile...:-)

Are you feeling better today? How bout Madeline? (like how I used her full name?!) ;-)

This is adorable Christine! I bit off my smile once too... ;) I'm so glad you got some more people to advertise. And you can breathe easy in a couple days! Yay! Love you.

Jess- I am feeling a little better but not a whole lot unfortunately. I'm starting to wonder if I am going to need to take the antibiotic. Madeline (I have said it the wrong way now a few times since yesterday!) does seem to be doing better so at least that's good.
Are you a little sore today after doing the show for the first time in a while?

Erin- How did biting off your smile feel? Sounds painful : ) I think I must have confused you with my info on my deadline because I unfortunately can not breathe easy until the middle of next month : ( I will be working hard to get as many advertisers as I can until about Feb. 9 and then I can breathe easy once it's off to the printer on the 13th. It's good though because I need the time so it all works out I guess. Love you too!
