Wooo-Hooo!!!!

Ok, so I have made and tried to maintain a few blogs in the past few months, but I have either forgotten about them, and cannot remember the passwords or even the user names, or, I just didn't keep it up. So, my promise this time around is to write as much as I can, when I can. Maybe someday, someone will find it interesting enough to muddle through, but then again, maybe not.

We are now in our 7th month of homeschooling and I will admit, I have threatened to send Z back to school more times than I can count, lol. Not because he isnt doing what he is supposed to, but because as my husband says, I have place way too many high standards on myself, and if Z doesnt get it right away, I am frustrated. Although Z acts and talks like he is 16, he really truly is only 8.

In 3 days, my baby boy will be 9!!!!! 9 years old!!!! Where did the time go?? He isnt supposed to be 9, let alone growing up!!! He is such a good kid, despite his stubborness, which he gets from both his parents, but I guess those are good things. He is interested in EVERYTHING!!! Some weeks, we study the universe, and then the next week, he has moved on to the body, because he saw something on Trauma, and wants to know more. Ahhhhh, a future doctor in the making maybe????

I have three wonderfully, fabulous children, who are the light of my world, and the biggest challenge I have ever had. My oldest daughter, T, will be 13 on April 15th. T shares a birthday with my mom and ex-husband, and every year I tell my mom I am giving her T for her birthday. This year , it didnt go over so well, lol. so i guess it is time to pony up and get mom a gift. Looks like a trip to Joanne's fabric is in order!!!

T is a singer and dancer, and just an all around great kid. She lives with her dad in NJ, which makes seeing her difficult, but I try and go home as much as I can. My little one asked me the other day, Mommy, I thought Tx was home??? Tx is where I live, but NJ will always be home for me.

Z, my soon to be 9 y/o son, is my momma's boy through and through, you know the type right??? Plays hard all day with his friends, but when it comes time for bed, the first place he looks for is my lap and some cuddle time. He is getting so big, and some nights, cuddle time is really the last thing I want, but, he is growing so fast, I fear that time is getting less and less. He wants to be so many things when he grows up, a doctor, a policeman, a fireman, a vet, and then yesterday it was a construction worker. We drove past my husband's office in Downtown Dallas, and we have watched a building being build since September, and  he is amazed at the progress they have made. Now, he wants to be the guy who knocks buildings down, lol. Go figure.

My youngest one, Little Bit, is 6, going on 16. She can light up the darkest room with her smile and personality. She is just a super super little kid. We worried about her starting 1st grade this year. She is an August baby, and was *just* 5 when she started school last year, so we were worried about her keeping up. Well, she proved us wrong and sailed through Kinder like a charm, then we hit 1st grade and at the end of the first 9 weeks, she was reading at a Level 8 on her DRA. 3 weeks later, it was level 16! We were so proud, and so was she!!! Now, she is hooked on American Girl and Little House books, and I can't get to the library fast enough!

My husband and I will celebrate 3 yrs this year. I am remarried, as is my ex husband. We both seem to be happier now than we were 10 yrs ago, but life moves on, and because of our move to Tx, he bought me to my soulmate and I to his. God blessed our "Broken Road" with two wonderful spouses.
