My son got into a college! I guess this homeschooling thing works after all...

I taught my 1st grader how to cook hamburgers and steamed broccoli. Best.Idea.EVER!

Dd is meowing What Wondrous Love Is This.

I ended up going as Mother Nature--flowy, flowery blue/green top, forest green pants, flower wreath, and beanie baby animals pinned all around! Thanks for your costume help!

My husband just finished defending his thesis. He is geting his dotorate!!!! It has been a long 7 years.

Sailor Dude has his driver's license. I will never have to teach another kid to drive.

Rode around Uluru this morning!

My girl is home again!

My girl is gone. :(

Mental note: Buy new underwear BEFORE throwing out all the old stuff.

Ds was in a single car accident--thanks for all your prayers! His FB status? "It's scary how you can do everything to take careof your health and safety then get killed in a car crash. Lucky to have survived a crash going 70 without a scratch on me"

Note to self: A couple of 5 second pulses on the Blendtec would have been fine for gazpacho. 20 minutes to clean up my kitchen after that explosion.

Hysterectomy

Going in today to my new preschool classroom--it's tiny! I'm nervous, but in a good way.

CP announced this morning that when he grows up he wants to be "one of those people who program on computers. What are they called? Oh yeah, nerds. I want to be a nerd!"

Well, I survived another VBS! By the grace of God, I didn't lose any of the preschoolers on the long trek from the preschool hallway to snack in the gym, and I even had some fun.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!! :)

when will this high school thing be over???

My boys made me dinner as a prize for finishing my finals :). Fried Chicken, Mashed potatoes and mac n cheese. Get this--they even washed the dishes!!!

must gear up for next college search. must gear up for next college search. must gear up for next college search. (If I keep repeating it will it happen automatically?)

Well, here's my new avatar. Last year's pic.

Frozen pipe, trash can blew away in the night...Good morning Monday.

Happy to have working toilets again!

Interview went well I think. He let me basically talk for half an hour, with a few question. I felt a bit nervous, primarily because I was not jst speaking on behalf of my home school, but acted as a representative for an extremely diverse local group, with very divers motivations and schooling philosophies. But I think it went OK.
