Well, it's been over a week now since I have done any kind of updating and I can't believe how much stuff can happen in less than two weeks! "Busy, Busy, Busy" can sum up those days without having to tell you a loooooooong story, and it ain't over yet! Some exciting things have happened too, one of them somewhat of a surprise. One exciting thing, for me, was that we joined Net Flix-- OK that doesn't sound too exciting but you need to remember that I am a Stay-at-Home Mom, Home-maker, Home-schooler and I don't get out much, or when I do go out it is usually to do things like run errands ( getting movies for Friday nights is one of those errands). And now I don't have to waste time or gas or keep one eye on the kids while I look for movies with the other, since now we can pick out every single movie we ever wanted to see from a comfy chair inside our own home. Plus, the time of the day I look forward too, when another adult human being drives to the house and gives me things by putting them in a special container meant just for our house, has gotten more exciting because sometimes those "things" put into our container are movies, coming to us! Then I can get my "daily walk" by going outside and getting the mail- good exercise plan, thanks to the Mail-man! I'll save the next exciting thing for later on in this long story I said I wouldn't tell.
As far as busy goes, there's a lot more appointments to make and go to now than before-- because of all the appointments I've had to cancel some appointments, reschedule some appointments and set some more appointments...I need to make an appointment just to sit down and figure out all the appointments! Most of the time I don't know if I'm coming or going-- especially when there are two appointments on the same day plus other things going on as well. I needed to take Hider-man in to the "quick-care" Doc in the Box the other day, --the poor boy is sick ,which is rare, and on medication while living most of his days on our couch, at least it's a couch with a view (it's by our biggest window). I should have had Bed-bug checked out too since she has come down with something as well, but it's not affecting her like Hider-man's sickness is affecting him.
Gecko is busy with his high-school-- I had to go to my first parent-teacher conference last week. The teachers say he is doing pretty well and is very like-able, nice things to hear. He is busy at nights now being a part of the stage crew for the High-school play.
We have stepped out of 4-H but into Awana's, Hider-man and Bed-bug go to that meeting on Wednesday nights. We have also joined a Home-school Co-Op that the younger kids and I go to twice a month. Hider-man is taking Origami and building with Lego's while Bed-bug takes Intro to sewing and Super Science. We get to go to that with some dear friends of ours, who also attend the Co-op, which makes it even more fun.
Sports-guy is busy with Church Deacon things and also learning what to do in his new position at his job, putting up wainscotting in the bathroom and doing what-ever else comes his way. He does quite a lot for us all for which I am very thankful!
OK, I'll cut to the second exciting thing--- Sports-Guy bought me a "mommie"-van! He traded in his little KIA for a bigger KIA. 2008, one owner, 10,000 miles, 7 seats, still has a hint of new car smell and it's not white!(inside story) I am very grateful for this van and still find it hard to believe it's actually out in front! Thank you Sports-Guy! Bed-bug named the van `Pretty Blue' and Hider-man thinks it's crazy to name a vehicle, I told him it's a farming tradition and he can't take that out of me-- I just call it Blue.
So, anyways, I won't go on and on, like I said at the start: Busy,Busy, Busy!
