I finally caved in and made the jump to Blogspot. My blog has been parked for several years over at another homeschooling blog, but due to changes they made I'm just not happy there anymore - so here I am!
I don't promise any great words of wisdom or answers to the great questions of life. What I will give you is glimpses into my crazy life and how we go about it.
Who am I? I'm a wife to a local attorney, mom to 6 kids, 4 of which still live at home. Our oldest daughter is 21 and getting married this September to a wonderful man who is a police officer. Our oldest son is 20 and serving our country as a soldier in the Army - we are very proud of how he's turned his life around after several rough teenage years where we weren't quite sure how it would all turn out. I homeschool our 4 youngest who are: a son who's 15 and starting down the same path as his older brother. That is the reason he is currently at a 3 week summer school program at a nearby millitary academy. Next is our 5 year old son - he was born on my birthday (natural, not induced) and as great as I THOUGHT that was going to be, I am now homeschooling my organized, perfectionist, control freak self. Seriously. I wasn't one to believe in astrology, but he is a true Virgo like me. Sigh. Next is a 4 year old daughter who is convinced we all live in her world and should accomidate her accordingly. Last is our little suprise guy. He's just turned 2 and had a rough year this far - a hospital stay while we were on vacation for RSV and just last week, surgery to remove his tonsils, adenoid and put in new ear tubes. If anyone tells you it's an easy recovery - they're lying. It took him a solid 6 days to start to feel better and now on day 8 he is finally off of all the pain meds, but still not eating. I also have a 2 year old grandson who I help out with quite a bit - having him here so much reminds me how grateful I am NOT to have had twins. Three of my pregnancies started out as twins, but didn't stick. Whew!
That's me and a breakdown of the players in this drama I call life. There's also a dog, 3 horses and 7 cats in the mix because there just wasn't enough chaos.
Hang on and enjoy the ride!
P.S. I know it's going to look crazy - this being my "first" post and yet older posts popping up as we go along, but I'm no computer techie & will just be copying & moving my post over from the old blog.
