Wow, I cannot believe it has been this long since I posted.  We are almost caught up with life after hurricane Wilma.  I am now in the third trimester of my pregnancy and my son is turning one.  I am so lucky that I was told about juice plus.  I cannot even imagine how tired I would be without it.

My tests have come back excellent twice now since the biopsy.  Naturally, we are VERY pleased.

We decided to make our friends' and families' Christmas presents and cards this year (smart move, I know) so we have been busier than bees in spring-time.

Anyway, I do not know how often I will be able to post in the near future so I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!

This week has been one hum dinger!  VBS is over and my back is too!  I am in recovery mode from VBS.  I did not realize running around as much as we did last week would drain me so bad.  It did.

This week is going to be gruelling too.  We have to try and get everything else done that we had planned on, such as: Butterfly World, girls night out (nope still have not gone out to movies yet), Boomers video game day, a day with their grandmother, the Science Museum, oh yeah, and we must do laundry and pack.  I have to take the n and n back home and then my dd and ds and I were invited to go to NCarolina with their grandmother.  Don't know for sure if we will go as hubby probably won't be able to take the time off of work!  I cannot wait until my business is bringing in enough for him to be able to stay at home!   I am sooo enthusiastic about my business.  I have NEVER believed in anything else as much as I believe in my new venture!

Anyway, I am (as my friend says "dripping").  Let me get back to my niece and nephew.  We have had such a good time together.  Although we had tough times as they are not used to having to get chores done and such with their mother not being able to stay home and "guide them" to get chores done.  And as my nephew is man of the house at home, it was a tough adjustment for him because of his uncle here.  Overall though, we had fun.  The kids even got my dd and I to get a neopet.  That has been fun.  There are all sorts of free activities on there that hone many different skills.  Parents, I do recommend that you visit the site first, because there are games on there too, that I do not recommend, such as gambling np(neotopia money) and games/quests that have fighting.  But it is a fun site.  Becareful though, it can get addictive.

We worked in the garden a little.  Not a whole lot as the heat is HORRIBLE and my back hurts quite a bit.  Eventhough, I kept resting I still would get SHARP pains up and down my spine.  A lovely aftermath from two car accidents.  The last one is one for the books thats for sure!  But that is for another day....

Well, I am off again.  Must go check emails!

We have just begun a journey.  Our health is becoming more important to us everyday and a very dear friend of mine showed me a way to improve it!

I have a link following to our website that explains all of it!   http://www.juiceplus.com/+tf16057 .  I would love to share my discovery with all of you!  Tell your health care professionals about it too!  You will probably find some that know about this and use it!  I can also show you how you can suppliment your income/become financially independent!

Please visit the site and email me about it!

Hi all-

Are any of your kids looking for activities on the web.  I came across a site that is cute and MANY activities.  It is free to join and play.  If you decide to join up, please use the following link as my daughter will get np (neopet money) to use on the site.   Thanks.

Here is the link to use: http://www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=mamacookie .

 My dd, Danielle, thanks you in advance. 

Still working on figuring webbloggin out.  Here is a pix of our Konos Kids coop.  We got together with all the dads and a few grandparents to have a Renaissance feast.  Each child had several jobs to do such as testing the drink, preparing the cerimonial water, serving the food and entertaining the King and Queens (grandparents).  We had a blast!  By the way, my dd is the one in the purple and pink dress.

Ok, what is RSS?  Here is another term I have run across and do not understand.   Thanks

Wow,

This is cool.  I never figured anyone would see this.  Thanks for the feedback Shannon and Julie.

Today is my mother's birthday  -  HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

We have been real busy since my niece and nephew have been here.  Between getting chore systems in place and trying to do fun activities.  Our church is having VBS this week which has been keeping us running too.

Monday, we were doing laundry which has jumped astronomically since the n and n have been here.  Plus I have a little dear son needing to be fed and changed... But we did get to pull out scrapbooking supplies that we bought recently so we can begin learning how to scrapbook.  That will be fun.  Then today it was pay bills and grocery day!  Wow, do teens eat alot.

My dd has been rooting a sweet potato for the veggie garden we are starting.  We are also drying some melon seeds.  I do not know much about gardening in general and know less about veggie gardening but I figure my dd and I can learn together.  That is one of the things I love about homeschooling.

Our VBS has been GREAT!  In fact, Monday night I had to practically pull my niece and nephew out the door to go to VBS.  But tonight my niece and daughter asked that we cancel Tuesday night movie "girls' night out" so they wouldn't miss VBS.  And all three asked to cancel Boomers Thursday Outing (an arcade/bumperboat/mini golf/lazer tag... you get the point) so they wouldn't miss VBS.  It is sooooo uplifting when children look forward to going to learn about the Lord!  It really has sent my heart soaring.

By the way anyone who may read this,  there are a few terminologies that I am unfamiliar with the and the ? is not helping any.  What is trackback, trackback URLs.  Should I allow trackbacks?  There are more, but I cannot recall them right now.  Thanks to anyone who is able to take the time and answer these questions.

Well here we go.  I am on the computer late at night which is usual.  I do not usually get a chance to get on the computer during the day anyhow and with my niece and nephew visiting ha forget it.  I have to push the kids into bed before I can even get near the puter.  Anyway, this will be short tonight because of the time and I am still figuring how this works.  So I will go for now.  Talk soon.
