Back to School

So finally at twenty minutes till midnight the girls went to sleep. And I went to sleep...Not at all! I ended up staying up all night stressing,crying and praying. Over what you ask? Stupid things! Ill save that story for another day. Maybe.

Our day started at 545. Everyone got up with out problems and out the door with out them as well. The morning was pretty smooth since I made sure everything was packed up last night and money and checks were given out. However, I only managed to do one thing on the list today. And that was go to WalMart. Baby steps!

The millions of papers are now filled out for tomorrow. Who's buying and packing lunch has been taking care of. And dinners done. Nothing fancy, just french bread pizza. And of course one person is asleep. And its not Sara!!

'Twas The Night Before School

And all through the house, not a child was sleeping and mama was screaming like a banshee. Well not really, but I did raise my voice a few times. And. I. Still.Am. The girls are steadily talking and not going to sleep. I on the other hand would like to roll over and pull my blanket over my head. 530am is not going to be pretty. Especially with all the stuff I want to do. I decided this summer to push everything aside and just spend time with the kids after the spring we had. So now I'm waiting very impatiently for them to go to sleep so I can do the same. Hopefully its soon!

Two Month Slump

So its been two months since Ive written. Nothing else bad has happened, thank God. Just been trying to get back in the groove of things and have a happy family. Summer here has gotten off to a slow start with all the kids having bronchitis or pneumonia or both! The next few weeks of summer will be busy to get everything in that we wanted to. Stay tuned for upcoming adventures and projects!

Life Happens

Well its been several months. And I can say not happy months. Little did we know that in a 5 day period we would loose a battle and start one all over. So here goes...

The last week of January sucked. There is no other better word to describe it. Johns dad was diagnosed with cancer in his shoulder which led to the finding of stage 4 lung cancer. 4 days later my dad announced that his cancer was back. 1 day after that my sister lost her baby.

My sister had a d&c and recovered nicely. My dad began the fight.Again. My father in law never got to fight the battle. He made it through 3 chemo treatments then ended up in the hospital for 10 days. In that period we learned that he had cancer in his hip,spine and back. And quite possibly in his brain. He was released and was home 2 days(one which was a really good day) before he ended up back in the hospital. After being there for 2 days the doctors concluded that there was nothing more that could be done and it was time for hospice. We  brought him home on hospice on a Tuesday, and one week later on Tuesday, at 7:01 am, he was called home. He never got to fight the battle. As much as it hurt, the suffering was over and that's what we wanted.

Life has yet to return back to our normal. Not that I think it ever will. We will have a new normal now, once we    find it.

This Year I Shall....

Make small manageable obtainable goals! Instead of making goals for the year, I'm going to set small goals for each month. For January, Id like to get the house clean and re-organized. I would also like to work going back to the gym in my schedule at least once a week. Id love to say twice, but we'll go with once for now! Some months I know what the goals are going to be, others I will have to think of it as the month drawls closer. There is other things Id like to work on, but those are my main ones for the month!

Hello there!

Hello friends! Hope this New Years Eve sees everyone well! I have been gone for quite some time now. I have been sick, kids have been sick and this family was deffinetely going through a rough patch. But now that its all over, I am back. I have a new attitude about things because of some decsions I have made. So stand by, great things are to come!
