It's about that time
Well, it's almost time to start school again. I wrote on the white board in our downstairs: "School starts August 31. 39 days." I think the kids will be excited about it. They like the one-on-one time they are guaranteed.

I already have my planner. I got it for only $1. I just need to get my books here so I can start filling it in.

Tonight I only have 1 child at home. My girls went to Brooke's house for a sleepover. My boys (minus Chase) went to Dawn's house for a sleepover. It's VERY quiet. The bedrooms are CLEAN!!! After I awake in the morning and feed Chase I can go back to sleep. It will be very weird. I do really miss the kids though. In fact, Abigail BEGGED me to not make her go. When she realized I'd be alone in the morning (minus Chase) she felt bad and wanted to stay home with me. She is so sweet but I do worry that she is too attached and that she needs a little more independance. I think she needs time away from all of us... something she can do on her own without the rest of the family. What can it bed???

Our house has now been for sale for 2 years. Will we ever move??? Doesn't anyone want our house? I have found several houses that are possibilities. I'm sure by the time our house sells those houses I like may be gone. I am just being patient and waiting for God's timing. If anyone reads this blog please pray about this situation for us.

I've made several cakes lately and I've got several orders already lined up. I think it's neat how orders come from out of the blue and from people I haven't talked to in years. I know that God is providing these opportunities. I am very thankful to Him.

It's getting late and I'm going to start rambling so I better get off of here. I will leave you with a picture of Chase in his crib yesterday: 
And my thankful list: Today I'm thankful for quiet moments alone, hugs and kisses when I'm reunited with the kiddos, and sugar-free ice cream.
