How did I get here from there?

To say the last three months have been busy is a huge understatement. I'm sitting here in an exhausted heap wondering how I survived. I mean, summertime is supposed to be for resting and relaxation, but that didn't happen for me.
First of all, I had a huge writing and photography assignment w/ the Hawaii Tribune-Herald. I was contracted to write and take pictures for their Best of East Hawai`i 2009 Tab. This was the fourth year in a row I've done this and it's no simple feat calling, scheduling appointments, and showing up to take pics and write stories for the many winning businesses. I was happy, however, as there were only two snafus this year, so I am counting my blessings.
As if that weren't enough, I'm the PCNC at Hilo High School and, as everyone knows, school starts at the end of July in Hawai`i. As a result my busiest months are July and August. There's a teacher's breakfast, parent orientation breakfast and the annual PTSA Open House, which I'm happy to report more than 700 people attended! A new record for HHS in recent years. It takes a lot of effort and coodination to make successful events happen. Now I'm sitting here in a puddle on my couch. I wish I could rest, but I've been told a book I've helped co-author is about to go to work. Now I must get to work and get all the paperwork in order.
I'm scratching my head wondering how I got here from there. Life in paradise should be much more pleasant than this!
