Hello!
How are you, my lovely readers? I am sorry once again about having to miss Tacit Tuesdays. I've been really behind, but I am starting to get my life back in order. I have some things going on that have been a bit...distracting, but I'm getting into a swing of hard-working-ness. (Yes, that is now a word.)
For one, it is getting hot! Summer is here, I'm pretty sure. The weather this year doesn't seem to be able to make it's mind up about that! It goes from hot to rainy, to cold, and then back to hot! Oh well. All I can say is that it is hot today!
I am going to admit exactly how far behind I am in school. I could make up a whole bunch of excuses, but it wouldn't do any good. I figured out the other day that if I do a complete week of school for one calendar week until I get the school year done, I will be working until...September. That is close to a month after the rest of the kids start back after their break. Most of the time we go farther into the year then the rest of the kids, but that would be a new record. The good news is that today I got about 2 days of work done, and I got some done over the last weekend, so I already ahead of my "schedule" (Can I ever call it that? It's more like "The Failure Plan.") So, I'll finish before then, I'm sure. But it may still be late in the year. The main point of this is that my summer break is down the drain. I am going to stay positive, though. And I am going to keep working. I'm going to work weekends, and keep moving forward. And I like school, I really do. It can get a little tiring after a while, but I still like it. I'm writing a new schedule, and I am going to make getting enough sleep a top priority, so that I can get a lot done during the day.
The point, of my point, is that blogging may be on the back burner. I will still go online. I promise that it will not be months between hearing from me. I will try my very best to get Tacit Tuesdays out on time every week, but there may be times where Tacit Tuesdays is all you hear from me.
But, I mean, it's summer! Even if I have to do school, I don't think anyone can be sad when the sun is out, the pool is set up, and you get to eat watermelon and Popsicles. Flip flops, dandelions, driving with the windows down on your car. =) Plus, I don't have to mow the grass as much this year (even though I didn't mind it) because my brother and sister are old enough to do it this year.
Also, Tacit Tuesdays should be getting more interesting, because there are more things to take pictures of in the summer! =D
Well, this post was rather scatterbrained. I'm sorry for that, but I hope it wasn't terribly terrible for you. ;) When do the rest of you get out of school? Soon, I hope! ;D Do you have plans for the summer? I hope to have a more formal post about my plans this summer (besides school) so that should be coming up pretty soon. =)

Wow! I really admire you for having such a positive spirit! Most of the people I know hate school and if they had to skip summer break, they would do a blog post ranting about how much they hate it! You're really encouraging! Thank you for this post!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just got Pinterest and I'm going to follow you. We have a family account.
In Christ,
Sarah
Wow, thank you! I didn't really think about me having an exceptionally positive attitude. Your comment was very encouraging. :) I'm glad that I could be encouraging to you as well. :) I will follow you on Pinterest as well. If you have an questions about it, just let me know. :)

(Ps. I'm on a different machine, that's why the account is wrong)
Never mind, the account was right! Lol
DeleteWell Jessica if it helps any I'm going to be doing school though the 'regular' breaks to. Not because I'm behind really but because I want to get ahead. But I try to work on school on a lot of my free time. Have you listened to Overcomer or Stronger by Mandisa? They seem appropriate for this acosion. Don't worry about the blog posts, I'll miss them but I'd rather you be able to take your brake then read your posts. =)
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way I love the dandelion pictures, =D
DeleteThanks! I know I've got home schoolers out there that understand! =D That is a great idea, to get ahead! The more you can get ahead the better! Yes, I have listened to and loved both! I own Stronger, but I don't own Overcomer. I've listened to it a ton though. That is a good idea, to try and find some music like that to listen to! I'm glad you like my posts so much! It's really encouraging to know that someone enjoys them. I'll stick around. ;)
DeleteThank you! I actually wrote the entire post then ran out and took those pictures, then put them into the post and published it! LOL

Its fun to challenge myself with goals. =) Well, you do have a faithful follower in me. I think yours is the only blog i actually read every post that comes from it. =) Most I just skim.
DeleteI do some posts like that. =D
-Mikayla-
It is fun to challenge yourself! =) I'm trying to think of this that way. LOL Aww, I always read yours too! I'm glad you like mine. <3
Delete(I'm almost in the same boat) but we can stick together! =) Just, when you're doing weekends and stuff, make sure that you give yourself some rest! If you don't, then you could end up getting sick and that will make you fall further behind... <3 p.s. I loved the pics!! Especially the one at the end; it's like focusing on one thing.... um, peaceful.... I can't describe it... but it's awesome! Just like you! <3 =)
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't have you roped into this with me I don't know what I'd do! Haha! =D I will be sure to rest; I don't think my body would let me NOT take breaks! LOL Yes, I do not want to be sick! Ick! =P
DeleteI'm glad you like that picture! Our camera does that sometimes-adding this "border" thing. Sometimes it's annoying, and sometimes its cool! lol I know it's hard to describe something! I'm just glad you like it. =) Aw, thanks. Your awesome too! =D <3
~Jessica
Wow! I love these pictures!! I wish it was this green here... :( It is getting there though. :) What kind of camera do you have? You take wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, it was over 80 today! =) Aww, is there still snow?? Our camera is a Nikon D50, best I can tell. My grandmother is a very good and serious photographer. She doesn't do it for money, but with them traveling she takes professional type photos. So when she gets a new camera, she gives her old ones to us. So it is really a hand-me-down. But it is probably worth over $500 or something... =) Thanks!
DeleteNo! Our snow was gone last month, thank goodness! It has been only getting up to 60 for the past week, and I am getting really annoyed. :P Then all this week it is going to rain... I cannot not wait for swimming and actually getting HOT!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteNo worries bestie. ;) I'll be working through the summer too. :(
ReplyDelete"Working" may be the wrong word to use for yourself, but okay. ;D Hardy-har-har
DeleteHello, I am a new fan of your blog AND I love pink... hehe. Those pictures are amazing!
