Well lets see what I've been up to for the last few months..
We moved into our own home..Well it's a mobile home, but home...It's a HUGE fixer upper
but we're up to the challenge..Some teens used it for a party house..It had graffitti and holes punched in the walls..Someone even attempted to start a fire in the middle of the living room floor..But with some paint and plywood it's coming along..We're going for a "cabin theme" in here and ofcourse my kitchen is going to be in the "coffee theme"...My friend's daughter spent the night last week (spring break) and she graced me by DELETING ALL my photos on my digi camera..We had over 800 on the card..I called my teenager Briana and asked her if she saved the pics somewhere..Thank God she did..I am sooo GRATEFUL..So now I have to figure out how to retrieve the pics from a laptop..Sarah my 2 year old is beginning to let me crochet more and more..I'm soo glad she's letting me do this FINALLY..I'm looking forward to her letting go a little bit more..I've been raising kids since I was 20..And boy am I EXHAUSTED..But it's been great too..
Briana has a male friend..She met him on Tagged and they've been talking online for 7 months..As soon as he graduates high school he wants to come visit Briana..So we'll see how that goes..She's already laid out the law to him..No touching, meet her at church,and they won't be going ANYWHERE by themselves..And he's agreed to it..I say GO BREE!!!..He sent a pic of himself and he reminds me of my husband when we were young..I thank GOD we have unlimited text and LONG distance on our home phone..lol..Briana is plugging away on her studies..Not long until she graduates herself..UGH...
Then we have our Katie and we DON'T go there..Let's just say she turned 15 in November and had a 19 now 20 year old liking her..And she can't understand why I FREAKED out..Soo SHHHHH on that...Katie is doing GREAT in school tho..She's not liking the fact that she has to go to a different school next year..The high school is maybe 8 minutes away..And for now we drive her to school about 20 minutes away..And that's with NO TRAFFIC...
Cassie and ANdie are also doing well in school..They are more accepting the fact they also have to go to different schools next year..Cassie is 12 and she's an A,B Honor Roll student..Andie is 9 will be 10 next month and she's our STRAIGHT A HONOR ROLL!!!...We're PROUD of ALL our kids...
Valerie is 6 now..Her birthday was in Febby..She wants to go to REAL school for her 1st grade year..I'm trying to talk her into homeschooling online..But it's the WONDER of the BUS that has her...I will end up registering her but I still like to ask...
Then our lil Sarah is now 2 years old and she has such the little personality..She still nurses, not as much nowdays and I'm a bit sad as she's our LAST BABY!!!..But kindof relieved too..Now to get them out of our bed at night..Oh they fall asleep in their beds, but come in sometime in the night..And Valerie has been kicking me soo much that my ankle is bruised and has a little knot in it..OUCH!!!!...
And as for my hubby Brian..Work is starting to come his way more plentiful and I'm sooo glad..He's a carpenter by trade, but I didn't realize just how good he is at his work..He made a custom cabinet for a customer and I helped a bit..(I have the splinters to prove it..lol) When he installed it..I was like WHOA!!!...After 17 1/2 years he STILL amazes me..Now I just need to remember that next time I'm MAD at him..lol...
Hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL 2009....
HAPPY CROCHET HUGS!!!!!!!!
