BUSY is Not a Good Enough Word!!

By Boo

You may think the ZPO's have given up their blog site. Maybe even closed their chapter and headed their separate ways! But you're wrong!! We are all just crazy busy right now! We have all kinds of fabulous stuff going on but no one has time to post about it. So this is a quick post about nothing (because I have time for that) just so aaaaall our fans (and by fans I mean us and our families) don't give up on us!

School started back so that is pretty much consuming every waking moment of my, Rhi, Candice and Charing's time. Candice and Charing don't teach, you say! True that, BUT little Candice is on the fast track for her masters degree (graduating again this May, Yea!!) and she's doing more reading than TV watching and if you know Candice that should mean something to you. Charing doesn't teach but she does have four children, three of which are in school (high school, middle school, and elementary school mind you) so she's been quite consumed with back-to-school from the parent perspective.

Liz is working on getting the house ready to sell, which is a full time job alone with the painting and repairs. Add to that Wes's day care catching on fire (that's right folks!) and then Wes AND Liz getting a stomach virus all in the same week and you can begin to understand her busy schedule!

Missy is working on closing out her second term for school. She's been researching topics, making power points, writing term papersssss, and trying to figure out how the hell to correctly cite her sources (I tried to help but even after like 8 years in college I don't have it completely figured out yet!). She has finals next week and then a break! The liiiiight at the end of the tunnel!

Now for our soon to be bride, Miss Sarah. I'll start by saying she's working 10-12 hour days with 12 day on and 2 days off so that alone is enough to push someone over the acceptable stress limit. Add on top of that Nick's truck breaks down so they are carpooling. And then Sarah's car's radiator decides it's time to retire so BAM, Sarah's car is down. Soooo they are both using Mom's BMW (nice but very, very small). Sarah takes Nick to work in the morning and then she goes to work, leaves work around 5:00 to get Nick and take him home and then Sarah goes back to work until around 8:00. Fun. Let's not forget that Sarah is planning her WEDDING! So yeah, she's got a lot going on.

So, in summary, we have not forgotten about our precious little site. We. are. just. really. busy. Painfully busy. Can't wait for life to return to normal kind of busy. Sorry!

But to leave on a bright note, here are some future posts you can look forward to (where in the future? hard to say but definitely in the future!!):

1. The third and final fabulous Vegas post

2. Sarah's Sensational Shower at Charings (soooo. much. fun.)

3. Scott's Big 4-0! That's right! Scott is turning 40 tomorrow! We're having a shin-dig and there will be pictures.

4. Sarah's Spindletop shower (hasn't happened yet but I'm sure it's going to be great!)

5. Boo & Charing's Birthday Bash (what are we doing? who knows! but it's going to be fun and we're going to post about it!!!)

So, hopefully these plans can keep you happy and we'll get some more posts up soon!!
