Hi there, sorry for being absent so long!

Hi everyone,

Wow, I can not believe that August came and went without me! It does not seem like it can be the middle of September already, time has just zoomed by! I was feeling so \"icky\" there and for a couple of nights was sure I was dying I felt so bad. I am all better but the school year started and I got so busy planning and getting her classes ready and now it is the middle of September.

Wow, I am so far behind I am not even sure I am still in the VOF or not! I hope I am but can understand since I think I missed this last assignment and everything completely so far! Yikes!

Things are going ok here but sometimes I wish it would go easier and smoother! One of my daughters was saying how she missed reading my posts on here and it made me laugh since she said it feels something is missing from here since I have been gone. That was sweet of her but I think she feels that way since we used to talk about the posts and ideas a lot then I wasn't feeling good and I think she missed that most. But I know what she means since I feel that way about everyone here and have been wondering what everyone is up to and writing about but haven't been on in ages.

It feels good to be back though and I hope to get caught up with everyone soon! I wrote one thing in a notebook about alcoholism but haven't typed it up yet and hope to get writing in my journal again soon especially since my daughters have been telling me too!

Hope everyone is doing good! Love you all,

Maria
