Two weeks to my oldest daughter's wedding.Two days until my first grandchild turns 9 months. About two months until the youngest graduates high school. And ten months since we got the news my oldest and only son died. I am a bundle of emotions.

Going to try working out with the new puppy. Should be interesting.

We got a new puppy 11 month old Husky Mix named Whistler.

First day of college classes. Text from ds: "I know I am in the right field of study when I get excited just looking at the syllabi."

Scrapped much of the new curriculum we were trying this year and now we're all much happier!

It's just a matter of time before my kids receive their acceptance letters to Hogwarts.

HIdden costs of dual enrollment: It's really easy to stop by the bakery for a croissant after dropping her off for classes.

Dd just beat her uncle at chess!

My youngest turned 18 yesterday. How did that happen!

We lost our cat today, sad day.

Feeling so good about the kids' test scores from our first year homeschooling! Much improvement in math!! The hard work is paying off.

Dh and Ds are being sweet and have decided to make me tea. It is about the cutest thing in the world listening to them try to figure out how to make tea, which flavor, how hot, sugar or not, how much sugar....most complex tea I have ever consumed, but made with lots of love!

Spent the afternoon worried about my college dd. She spent the afternoon at the ER, making sure she didn't have appendicitis. She did not.

Sniff Sniff. Baby girl is at her first homecoming dance. She is growing up too fast.

Have decided, after a long silence, to rejoin the conversations here at WTM.

Nothing like a trip to Walmart with two kid singing Horrible Histories songs, loudly, through the while store!

I found Adam-12 and Emergency on Netflix tonight, I'm extremely excited.

48 hours of gluten poisoning is not fun.

Changing my avatar, wishing I had been to comic con.

Took me 39 years but I finally love summer.

Letting go of one thing to embrace another--not my strength. Uggh.

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

I am alone in my house for the first time in months. I have no idea what to do with myself :)

Our cat has gone missing. Barely slept last night worrying.

Pink!
