Wow, I can't believe its been since August that I have written on here. Things got really crazy here. I got hired on at Antioch Preschool, the kids started school and Chris went back to work full-time at Lifeway. That pretty much sums up what has been going on. Right now we are in the middle of a winter storm where we have been snowed/iced in since Thursday. It has been nice to just rest and be at home. Lots of time to think. Everyone has had their round to be sick. First Nathaniel with a migraine Wednesday night into Thursday. Hannah had headache and throwing up Friday, me on Saturday and part of Sunday and now Chris is in bed today. Luckily Lifeway closed up shop due to horrible road conditions.
Kids went up the hill to play with the neighbor kids. That has given me the chance to finish up sicky laundry, and straighten up the house from our vegging, movie watching, sicky fest.
Nathaniel has been playing Upwards basketball again this year and is getting really good! I think we have a basketball star in the making!! Hannah has been really interested in keeping up with her novel reading and is really hoping to take a mission trip to Montana this fall as well as go to church camp this summer.
I am hoping to start watching kids this summer to make up for the lost income due to the preschool being off for the summer. We are ok. Barely scraping by some months due to the medical bills and stuff. Our benefit account from the summer just ran out, so we are having to add all the medical stuff to our regular budget. That is why I am looking at things I can do with my own kiddos.
Chris is enjoying his job at Lifeway. He is ok. He still has his good and bad days, depending on how self disciplined he is. I have really been trying to get us all in better shape, but to change a family's habits is hard. The kids are willing to make the shift with me. Changing another adult is another story. :-)
Anyways, just wanted to make a current post and check in with everyone else. Facebook has almost replaced this, but on the other hand, getting to journal is better than the short updates you can put on there. I am going to try to be better at this, just for my own sake. Need a place to vent. :-)
Till next time, love to you all!
