About Me

I am the mother of nine children, from eighteen to two who truly loves being "hereathome". Some days are beautiful, some days I count the hours until bedtime but I am very thankful to be able to live the life I do.

We never made it to Yellowstone.  That is the problem with last minute plans.......they are not always feasible.  Last week was quite a week anyway.  By Thursday three munchkins had a stomach flu.  What fun that would have been on a road trip.  We had a mostly quiet week at home, playing and making messes with no one to help Mom clean them up.  Guess what we are busy doing this week.

I turned forty one Saturday.  It was a very quiet birthday.   Forty one does not feel any different than forty, and I liked forty.  Moving past that forty mark has a comfortableness I was not expecting.  And not in a "too old to care" way either. LOL  It just feels good. 

We start our school schedule in two weeks.  I am looking forward to it.  I never lost that excitement in the fall of new things happening and the excitement of new challenges.  Of course, in school, I had lost that mostly by November.  With homeschool.......we can re-invent our year any time we want and recapture that.  Still, fall is a great time of year.  The crisp weather, leaving summer behind and preparing for winter and the holidays......it is invigorating.
