Life as I know it.

It has been too long since I last posted. Life has been very hectic the last month and a half. 1. My husband did buy his new car and is loving it. 2. My son had a beautiful 5 th birthday party. It was a pirate party and we ended up with 35-40 people, everything went fairly smoothly. We had a small accident with the pinata but it was quickly fixed and the kids loved it (see pic, this is from right after the pinata). 3. We started homeschooling my son on the 27 th (so technically he started Kindergarten when he was 4). HSing has been going great, we are well ahead of the projected goals they set for us. My son has been doing well in all the subjects so far. Most of the phonics is review at this point. But I really enjoy how they teach it. They don't teach it that this letter says _, because as we all know very few letters in out ABC's truly only say 1 thing. So they are teaching all of the sounds and then will later connect those to particular letters and letter blends. 5. M...

I'm feeling sad tonight and thought that I would spend some time venting on the Internet to cheer me up. It's pretty sad that I'm too embarrassed to call up a buddy and vent to them. I did talk to my best friend Mike earlier tonight, but then I texted him and told him just to ignore me I was being silly. I feel very unloved lately. My husband has decided to get a new car for himself which I don't really agree with. For one his reason for buying a new car is so that he can have a nice car that he won't have to work on all the time. But he is looking at 6-8 year old cars with 100,000 + miles on them and I just can't see how a car that old and with that many miles can possibly not need to be worked on. We did see a 2006 Taurus when we were out shopping the other day with only about 20,000 miles on it for the price range we are looking at. But he has zero interest in that. I just really don't want to get in debt. A few years back we got in over our heads financ...

I was tagged by my friend Brenda. I am suppose to post 8 random things about my college career. So here goes... 1. I went to Massage School ( Ashmead College) for a year and also took some early childhood development classes at a community college. 2. In my early twenties I got everything arranged to go to Community College to get my AA degree and got a letter saying I didn't qualify for any grants so I figured that meant I couldn't go. So I cancelled all my plans, moved to a new place and got a car. A couple weeks later I got a letter on my Financial Aid package and found out I could have easily gone to college after all. :( 3. I got pregnant immediately after starting college. 4. I was on bed rest through most of my 2 nd quarter, so I had to lay down on the table with my feet propped up during the last 2 months. 5. I had to take 6 months off during the middle of school, due to being sick while I was pregnant, then spending time with my newborn. 6. I was on attendance...

I saw this game on another blog when I was looking around the other day. It's called 3 truths and a lie. I will tell you 4 statements 3 of them will be true and one is a lie, see if you can figure out which one is the lie. 1. The longest I have lived any one place is 4 years. 2. I once traveled to Mexico w/ 10 people and everyone got sick but me. 3. I have been to Disneyland 2 times. 4. I started dating my husband while chasing another guy. So give it your best guess and let me know which one you think is the lie. Life is good around here, God blessed me with quite a few garage sale finds this weekend. The MNO I hosted on Fri went well, there ended up being 7 of us there. We just hung out in the motel room, we had really wierd weather around here on Friday and they closed the pool at the hotel. We never even got a chance to play games or hang out at the hut tub. You know how it can be get a group of woman together and we just can't stop talking. I'm very excited, this week ...

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I ended up being offered that position, but after much soul searching decided to turn it down. I felt it was just too much upheaval for my family. My husband was gone the day I needed to make a decision, so when he got home he said "I though of another con against taking the job" (We had bought season passes to a local ski resort for next year). So I said "that's OK I have decided not to take the job" and he said "OK", no fanfare or anything. I still wasn't completely sure I had made the right decision until the next day when my best friend Mike finally got around to calling me back and when I told him about the job and the things I was thinking he agreed totally that I shouldn't have taken the job, that gave me peace of mind. Thank god for friends! Anyway we have had a great couple weeks around here, my nephew came over for hoop fest (a big 3 on 3 basketball tournament around here) and ended up wi...

Well absolutely nothing got done in the office, (including finding the camera), but it was a nice thought. Yesterday I had my 2 nd interview for that job in Pullman, it seemed to go well. I don't think I blew it but I didn't feel like I aced it either. They are supposed to call me on Fri and let me know either way. My mom, Cole and I went out there together, they dropped me off and then drove around a bit and then went to McD's to play. The interview lasted about 45 min and went smoothly enough. The people there seem nice and i found out there is more flexibility with hours then I originally knew. My mom said she did not like Pullman and would not be moving there. On our way home we tried to find this little town I had heard about that has cheaper housing and ended up going on a goose chase that ended at a Dam. It was a nice drive and we found a neat campground that we will have to check out sometime. We did stop at another little town that is about 1/2 way in between tha...

I was reading a new blog site (the lazy organizer) that I got from a friend and was inspired by her posts on organization and starting new habits. So I thought I should combine the 2 and work on keeping my office clean and organized on a daily basis. For anybody who has seen my office they know this is a daunting task. I get it cleaned up about once a month but since there is very little organization in it it always becomes messy again within a few days.In fact I am trying to find my camera to take a before pic, but of course it is such a mess that I can't find it. Oh well I will have to post it when I locate it under the mess. Don't worry I promise not to clean anything until I find it so you can see more clearly what a daunting task this is. (Isn't that a wonderful way to start my new habit). So my exciting news of the week is that I received a 2 nd interview for a job that I am not sure I want. As you who have been reading along with me know I have recently opened my o...
