How is it really September 30th? The past three weeks have been a total blur of Caroline getting sick, being sick, and recovering from sickness. Then we had her eighth (eighth!) birthday prep and celebration.

And during this time our babysitter was out of the country, touring Greece with her family. (Insert crying emoticon here.)

I’m over two weeks behind in my work at a bare minimum. I look at my to do list and don’t even know where to start.

It makes me want to escape by reading a book. LOL!

But we’re going to soldier on. We don’t really have a choice in the matter!

Tomorrow is October 1 and that means a couple of things coming up!

First, we’ll be starting 31 Days of Learning Differently. I’ve received most of the guest posts and there is some really good stuff coming up. I’ll be adding lots of my own content as well. I hope everyone finds encouragement and practical ideas with this month-long series.

Second, as part of the iHomeschool Network, we’ll be kicking off The Big Book of Homeschool Ideas Blog Tour. This will last all month and will include lots of giveaways at the various blogs as well as a special promotion of The Big Book of Homeschool Ideas. I’ll have a post about that coming up later today.

So buckle up! It should be a great month!
