About Me

Happily married mother of nine children, from nineteen down to three. After twenty-one years of marriage and fourteen years of homeschooling, I am still trying to figure out the "best" way of managing my home and our family. Little things make me happy and my life is full of them.

Random bits.........

We made reservations yesterday for the moving truck and Walt's plane ticket back home.  So it all feels more official now.  Sunday he is to sign the lease on our house. Not old, though very much in the country with lots of trees and privacy.  Can you believe I have not even begun to start packing boxes?  And he is due back Friday?  Oh my.  Know what I am going to be doing next week. 

Today the house is jumping.  Everyone going every direction.  My oldest daughter is fixing to leave for a day with friends.  My oldest son is teaching a Red Cross first aid class, which he loves doing.  My second oldest son is on his first date, since he just turned sixteen last week.  (afternoon movie and lunch, double date with friends.....I have such good boys!).  My second oldest daughter is waiting to curl my hair.  The two middle boys just came home from their basketball game, and me along with them.  Three youngest munchkins have no official plans other than jumping off the furniture and being monkeys.  That should keep them and me busy.   Third oldest son(11) wants to grill steaks tonight.   Somewhere in that, we need to straighten up the house for the Sabbath and take baths and lay out clothes and I have a Sunday School lesson to finish preparing.  And a house to pack!!!!!!!  lol

I dyed my hair back to brown.  I loved the red but I never came to feel when I looked in the mirror that I was looking at me. 

I found pannetone  at Safeway today!  I have been looking all over town for it!  Joy.  I bought two, just in case I eat it all, want more and cannot find it.   Yes, I love it that much.  Should learn how to bake it myself I suppose, but pannetone baked by a Georgia girl probably tastes different. 

Ok, curling iron is smoking by now.  I have hardly released all my random bits but enough. 

Oh, and homeschool this week was mostly reading books, history books, science books, book books.  It was wonderful.  Most of the time, everyone (youngest five) were curled up on my bed.  Oh, and scripture books, with everyone.  Good week.
