blogtoberfest

Friday was a rough day. Do you know that empty feeling? And you believe no one else gets it. It was a bit like that. But since then, I'm finding myself immersed in busy-ness and I feel better for it. We're still waiting on things before we can book our flights and set our date to leave. So I'm tempted to jump in to Blogtoberfest, a week late but why not? I've never done it before. Do you think I can blog every day for the rest of this month? I'd like to try. I don't have a plan. I don't have a theme. I might use the prompts. I might not. All I know is there are things going on all the time. Some big. Some small. It would be a great way of archiving my "stuff before I leave". Do you see blogging that way? Initially, I didn't. I'm not the type who goes back and re-reads their blog posts from yesteryear. But I've had to at times, while looking for something and it has been quite interesting. So many times I've thought "Did I really do/say/write that???" 

I don't often check my blog stats either. Occasionally, out of curiosity, I'll check to see where people are coming over from and head over and pay referring sites a visit. Sometimes I get some funny little search keywords. Last week I had this:

do gifts that fall apart mean a hex

I hope they didn't find what they were looking for here!

Now that I should be leaving soon, I think it will be nice to share more slices of life here in Jeddah. Especially the art and creativity.

I have a few other projects to share with you and in sha Allah I can do that too. And those draft posts are haunting me too! 

For now though, back to the business of educating my children ...
