Haven't posted much here or on the other blog ~ been too busy.  We are doing well, school will end in 10 days for a mini break.  We will then resume doing 6wks on and 1wk off b/c it will save my sanity. ;)  We are still using Charlotte Mason w/Ambleside Online as our core and its working great.  Lots of things have changed for us one being my working at a different store part-time and plans for a move.  We are currently looking at just moving within the state but we are not against relocating to another ~ its time to move on.  Our current living situation is becoming increasingly intolerable ~ no a/c and its hot folks.

I'm sure we will survive but it sure looks bleak on most days.  Sk8Chick turned 20 and is still working but now has turned her focus to going to college.  Riley is starting the serious college search but nothing pending yet.  Unfortunately, Da Boy has broken his front teeth and we will need to have those reconstructed and hopefully he will still go to college and leave off the extreme sports after this.  However, I'm not holding my breath on that one. 

Our local CM group is growing and I'm excited about that.  It is something I've wanted for a long time ~ to have like-minded moms to talk w/once a month.  We even started a yahoo group to talk during the month which was one of the things on my heart to start.  I'm enjoying mtg at Starbucks, drinking coffee, chatting and sharing w/these ladies, it really has help to get my perspective back on track.  I'm glad we changed everything and its working great.  There's also a homeschooling family that has started discussions and mtgs to start a CM school here in line w/Ambleside Schools of TX, that will be a wonderful asset and I'm prayerfully considering if I shall have a role in it other than praying.

My knitting has picked up though I've decreased my swapping and spending ~ yeah me!  I'm enjoying making things for others though making socks are still my #1 fav things to knit.  I hope to visit the yarn shop this week though the cost of gas has me making shorter trips out or not at all other than going to work.  I hope that changes soon so I can enjoy going out again ~ miss my wkly sbux nights and going wherever I want.

Off to finish knitting and reading some blogs.  Hope to see you'll again soon.  Nite!
