Queen of Chaos

     I apologize for not posting yesterday.  My oldest daughter had her first sleepover this weekend and I had no idea how much energy it took to keep a 10 year old and an almost 10 year old busy.  We watched movies, played Wii, ate junk food, made crafts, did make-overs and painted our nails.  Stick a fork in me, I am D-O-N-E, done.      But I have to say I am so glad my oldest daughter has finally found a good friend in our new town.  They are both very sweet, extremely smart, comedic and very unique young ladies.  My daughter is somewhat awkward socially.  I fear I didn't teach her the appropriate skills needed while we were homeschooling.  We were around other homeschooling families and other children at church, but even then she had trouble being included and didn't notice when other kids were being mean and purposely excluding her.  But her new friend compliments her well and I see lots of memori...

It was a very hard decision to make to trust the public school system with my children, but they are absolutely thriving and love going to school each day. Thank you Mrs Purdy, Mrs Spangler, Mrs Cindy & Mrs Connie, Mrs Jackson, Ms Dreyer, Mrs Davidson, Mrs Hensley & Mrs Allaman for givin...

  Hello everyone,           I hope everyone had a very happy Halloween and your little trick or treaters got tons of candy.  We didn't get home until almost 9pm, and I was worried it was going to be a long night. Thankfully, all 5 were down by 9:30.  What followed was amazing, the kids were all up on time and we were out the door on time and we didn't get stuck by a train on our way to school.  As I walking back to the van, I noticed the sun shining in all its beautiful glory, birds chirping, and all the busy sounds of our new home town.  I thought to myself, today starts a new month, I should start something new because clearly I am not busy enough. Hear the sarcasm?  Honestly, I love being busy, I love having my calendar full, places to be and people to meet.      I decided to start a new blog. So many things have changed in the last 12 months. Our family has had to start anew on...
