Wow!
What a weekend.
It started with a fancy dress, a rented van and three of my friends.
Four Days Off!
I’m gearing up to be out of town for four days.
Four WHOLE days with no kids. No husband. No responsibilities.
Weekend Happenings
The bridal shower was wonderful! Here’s a shot of my girls and I (and Levi) sitting at our table. I think I told you there was a beach theme….well we had a bowl of fish for our centerpiece!
Large Family Travel Preparations
Getting 10 people ready to go anywhere has always been a challenge for me.
We start with a “morning meeting”. I write everything on the school white board and we make a plan.
An Unexpected Trip
I usually don’t post twice in a day. But as life goes….things change. Last night my father had some serious chest pain. Mom called an ambulance. Off they went. Happy New Year to them. I got the text at 4:00 AM. Dad was having a catheter (not sure of the medical term for this) at…

I have just returned from the Texas Home School Coalition Leadership Convention. I tell you friends, I could not have imagined…
I’m Ba-ack!
Take me hoooooome…. ♫ ♫ Country roads….. To the place……. ♪ I BELONG…….. ♫ That’s what I was singing at the top of my lungs as I headed back today. Back to my little family, in my little house, in my little town. (oh the girls LOVE it when I belt out old 70’s songs…
Caffeine Trip
I like to drive. I really do. But yesterday I drove for 6 hours and today another 6. The last few hours today were rough. I was having trouble staying awake…..like when I watch sci-fi with DUH. BO-RING! My 13 year old ran out of things to talk about. That’s how bad it was….we were…
