7.16 Day 40 omigod; over half over

OK. Back to school stuff was featured in last Sunday's paper, which I just got a chance to look at, and my entry says Day 40 -- that is really an 'omigod'.
What the heck?
Where has the time gone? I have not even been IN my dining room since summer vacation began... Do things really start to speed up that much when you get older?
I guess I have some excuses. Work, work and more work, and not being able to say "no". In June, I was still wrapping up moving two classrooms, the Homecroft one and my own, and then trying to muck out Woodland's art room after I found that would be my position for net year. Lots of time there devoted to seedling and getting the garden planted, at the expense of the garden here in town..There was an AEM meeting in Rochester, and shortly thereafter, I left with Mom for a weeks' travel to Grand Rapids for the NAEA Western Region meeting. Returned home and only had one week until Summerblue began. Still hanging out there: finishing curriculum work and school stuff, finishing a couple of portfolio reviews -- the list goes on...
I have looked forward to working on personal health, getting my house and garden together and presentable, and more - but so far, I'm just keeping my head above water.
When will I learn to say "no"??
