Good Wednesday Morning, Everyone. :)
I've had a few emails from concerned readers wondering why I haven't posted in over a week. I apologize - I know I promised another File Crate post last week - but unfortunately I have not had much time to get online lately. I've been trying to finish up our end-of-the-year reports and outline our ed. plans for the new year; they're due this week. And while that's all going well (if slowly!), in a stroke of bad luck, I had a whole post ready to go Monday morning - yet somehow it deleted right as I went to post!
>o<
I will try again just as soon as I have a little block of time to sit down at the computer, but in the meantime I hope you are all enjoying the week. It's turning into a lovely summer at last.
I'll be back just as soon as I can. :)
It only takes a minute to tell us that all is ok and you're just enjoying some time off (which everyone deserves), but this way you are worrying us; we are assuming that something is wrong . . Let us know!

I am not one to leave comments usually but thought I must come out of 'hiding' to say that your daily thoughts are truely missed!

Dawn,
Missing your blog posts and hoping you will be back soon. Hopefully you've just been to busy enjoying the summer to blog!

I worry that something has really gone wrong for you and your family. Please know that you are a blessing to us and we will all pray that you are okay. Maybe you just went on vacation! Who knows. When you are ready, we'll all be here. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I check back here a few times a day to see if you posted!
Posted by: Tracy Willis | August 05, 2009 at 08:02 AM
Three weeks without Dawn is simply too long! Please let us all know where you have gone and if all is well. Just a few words...then we can quit worrying.
Posted by: Sylvia | August 04, 2009 at 11:30 PM
I rarely comment on any blog, but I can't resist adding in my own prayers that your summer has been wonderful, that you and your family are well, and that I,too, miss reading your lovely and inspiring words!
Posted by: Stacy | August 04, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Missing your beautiful thoughts and ideas. Praying you and your loved ones are all okay!

Okay, Dawn, enough of this family time/vacation/school prep business. It's time to get down to what's really important--posting on your blog. :)
Posted by: Sabra | July 30, 2009 at 11:09 PM
Sorry, that should read "missing you and all your inspirational ideas"
Posted by: Michelle | July 30, 2009 at 03:17 PM
I realize that you do your blog mostly for your family, but you have a lot of people who enjoy visiting with you as well. Missing all you and all your inspirational ideas! Isn't it nice to feel appreciated?!!!
Posted by: Michelle | July 30, 2009 at 03:15 PM
Hi Dawn,
Hope all is well...it's been a while... and like the others who have recently posted I miss reading your blog! (It's the only one I check daily.)I will say a prayer for you and your family tonight.

Well, I created my Lynette's version of "Dawn's File Crate System" while you have been gone. Thanks for the information and inspiration. I can't wait until you're back blogging!
Posted by: Lynette | July 29, 2009 at 02:13 PM
Are you ever coming back? We miss you!
Posted by: Greta | July 29, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Missing you!

Hello Dawn, I'm from Portugal and your blog is one of my favorites. I have two daughters (3 and 9) and love all your posts about education and organization.
Many thanks for all the inspiration.

How ironic! My kids heard me singing this tune this morning. LOL My son is convinced that I need counseling and to "Get a life" Hahahahaha.
We moms just need encouragement and to encourage, right???, and when you know you have found a treasure, you don't want to lose it.
Seriously though Dawn, our family does hope that everything is well with yours and you are enjoying the end of summer.
Praying all is well,
Teresa

Oh where oh where has my little Dawn gone, oh where oh where can she be. Hope you are enjoying your summer. Looking forward to your postings when you can find a block of time. :)
Posted by: Dawn | July 28, 2009 at 08:19 AM
I hope everything is ok.

Waaah. It's not the same without Dawn. :(
Posted by: Shonda | July 27, 2009 at 03:34 PM

Posted by: Christa | July 24, 2009 at 01:23 PM
AAAAAhhhhhh!!! Dawn you are sorely missed. can't wait to here post 2 on file crate organization. Take care.
Posted by: Teresa | July 24, 2009 at 11:00 AM
I had wondered where you were.
I don't often comment. I have only worked out how since I started a blog, not very technical.
I have been a huge fan of yours for some years in fact.
I would like to pass on to you the "TrueHeart" Award for being so inspirational.
The info is on my blog at this post--

God Bless

I'll send up a prayer for your family as they finish up the summer and begin the new school year. May your new plans for the school year be blessed.
Posted by: Julia S. | July 20, 2009 at 07:55 AM
Glad you're well, only busy ;-) Don't stress on posting, we'll still be here.
Side-note: homeschooling is a states' rights issue, it's legal in all fifty states, but the regulations vary quite a bit.
Posted by: Beth | July 16, 2009 at 11:03 AM
Treat yourself when those reports are done, you deserve it.
Posted by: Jo | July 16, 2009 at 07:38 AM
You just take your time. You have been very generous and accommodating with these file crate system queries. God bless!
Posted by: Marcia | July 15, 2009 at 07:48 PM
Same is going on here in Western MA. Ours are due mid July. Wecan turn in our next years plans now or in August. I prefer to do it all together. I will be glad to see your next post, miss seeing your lovely inspirations!
Posted by: Nori Coleman | July 15, 2009 at 07:27 PM
Ditto what Sherri said. :-)
Posted by: Greta | July 15, 2009 at 01:17 PM
Thanks for touching base. It's nice to know you are just busy, not unwell. I was hoping you were busy with fun stuff, though! :)
Posted by: Sherri | July 15, 2009 at 12:16 PM
The state of Mass. must have some very different homeschooling regulations from Texas, South Carolina and Tennessee..places where I have schooled my children. I have never had to do year end reports or submit outlines for the next school year. Yet, we have homeschooled legally wherever we have lived.
Posted by: Sylvia | July 15, 2009 at 11:49 AM
I'm glad you're all ok Dawn - and please don't stress about the file crate posts - I bet most of us understand those year end reports all too well!
Won't it be freeing to be done with those reports? Make sure you treat yourself!
