Hello? ... Is anyone there? ... Um... I seem to have lost my keys to the ImpCastle and I think I might have left my oven on in the mouse hole... does anyone have an extra set? Hello? Derek? ... Derek? It's me, down here... WHOA, don't step on me! I still carry my toothpick, you know! Duke? Josh? Barb? Hello? ...

- Nancy, ImpMouse, ImpElder, Returned to the flock that was so greatly missed while setting up the personal business (which is booming!)

p.s. Anyone over at National Novel Writing Month? Nearly 500 words already! <tiny mouse clapping> But this mouse has to try to get some sleep... after a little ice cream.

Hey, how's it going? Yeah, it's me. I missed this place so much, and everyone. I've got my business up and running and I have regulars (I love the sound of that) and plenty of orders to work on at all times, so between that, the kids, homeschooling, the regular Mom stuff, dealing with the evil kidney stones, and trying to keep up with everything and everyone, my days are filled. I thought it would be easier as the kids got older but no, it just went from diapers and feedings to cleaning and feeding to play dates and feedings and now that I have my first teenager, driving them around... and feedings. =)

So... what have I missed?
