Hugs...Aren't they nice!!!???

Tonight I looked back over my day and realized how grateful I am for hugs! I was at work today and I had a child that I work with tell me how much they love me being in their life then gave me a great big hug. My husband is always a wonderful one to go to for a big bear hug. I am a lucky woman to get one every day before leaving for work. Tonight I was lying on the youngest's bed before she went to sleep and got a big hug when I told her that I would help her try and read her treasured Rainbow Fairy books. After dinner at the table, my oldest sat in my lap with her arms around me and we just rocked together telling each other that "I love you." Aren't hugs nice and wonderful???!!!!

Library, SST, and Boredom

Well, today we went to the library and found lots of books for the kiddos. Oldest is very much into the Warrior Cats series. She has been reading about what herbs the medicine cats need to heal. Yesterday she started buying seeds and plans to make a Warrior Cat garden. We had some books around the house and she got more at the library on different herbs. She was told that she needed to make it into a science project. So she is going to draw each herb that she plans to plant and write one sentence on how it helps a human and one sentence on how it will help a cat. Youngest got books on owls and ballerinas. She wants a owl for when she goes to Hogwarts.

Tonight DH and I filled out the SST paperwork for Youngest. It was an eye opener to actually see on paper. We see the improvement but also now saw on paper the work head of us. Hopefully the SST will result in ideas to help Youngest more with school.

Now on to me, I am bored at work and so want to sell it all, pack up our RV (gotta buy one first)and hit the road. DH and I have thought about this in the past and recently we started getting the bug again. We both know that it isn't possible right now as we have to get some of the bills gone but....it sure is tempting!!! So we are working hard to rid our family of the stuff that isn't necessary. I have been working on a major rid of homeschooling curriculum. We are pretty sure of what is and isn't working at this time so I am weeding through it all and selling a bunch of stuff. It is nice to see it leaving the house!!! Anybody got any ideas on how we can get the bills done quicker, we would love to hear any and all suggestions. Till next time..

New Beginnings

I have tried to blog in the past but really want to try again! I have been reading other blogs and think that it would be a really great way to let others (friends and family) read about what is going on regarding my family and I. So here I am in the middle of the night trying again.
