It is incredibly infuriating that you cannot find out if a clinic uses out of network providers for anesthesia, radiology, etc. 

I am hanging in there. Mourning the death of my oldest son. 

After 9 years of homeschooling, I'm throwing in my hat (for now) and enrolling my 5 school-age kids into a really good charter school next year.  At this point I feel like they will get a better education there than what I am able to give them.  We'll see!  I'm sad and excited.

This is our last week of school and we are DONE! *jumping for joy* 36 weeks done! WooHoo!!! :)

As of Monday, I'll be homeschooling again! It's only two classes, but I'll take it!

Survived my double abdominal hernia/diastasis recti repair! A bit sore though... :-D

We finished the school year today. *kinda sad*. This was our best school year ever.

A board break was nice...but it's nice to be back, too. :-)

1st week of school and I've already thrown Kid #4's plans in the trash. Grrrrr!

I feel like a 10,000 pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders. The first person I've let have the tiniest sneak peek of my book loved it. I believe having chills reading one of the entries was mentioned as well. Just the motivation I needed to finishing typing it all up and send to the publisher this weekend. This project has been brutal on me emotionally and spiritually. There's nothing like leaving your heart and soul on pages for everyone to dissect. It's like my own perso...

This is a recording....

I'm going on a board break. Good luck with the rest of the school year!

I hate to state the obvious, but ugly-patterned leggings are NOT cute; they're ugly. #lularoe.

I'm soooo excited I found an Aerial Silks class 30 min closer(1.5 hrs instead of 2 and a much easier drive). I'm so psyched!!!

Home-schooling rocks! Having so much fun with my guys today!

Gave myself permission to give away clothing that is five sizes away from the next child that would wear them, instead of storing them.

Went clothing shopping. Got help from lady working at store. She wouldn't let me buy clothes too big. I'm officially smaller than I would have guessed I ever could get. Wonder what I'll be when I lose the next 20-25 pounds?

Do you ever feel the weight of the world on your shoulders? I figured I wasn't the only one.

Why does my profile only have one star? I don't think I've said anything mean or hurtful or...

I so wish I would have read the warning not to take the prescription strength Mucinex before bed. The whole point of the medication was so I can sleep and now I'm WIRED.

The big news here: We're going back to homeschooling next year! Yippee!!!

Cloth diapering when out of diapers is so much fun!
