OOPS!! It seems I did it again! It's been quite a while since I've posted! Oh well, I've been busy and so much has changed, for the better I might add, for our precious family! We are still self-employed and surviving, thank goodness. However, we have moved into my in-laws old house, which has given my boys their own rooms and us a very nice, large garage, albeit, we can't get any of our cars in there, LOL! Typical, right? Actually, it does house my father-in-laws 'toy' Corvette for the time being. He's mentioned selling it, since he's now remarried and has a very steep driveway ,that is not friendly to ground hugging sports cars, let alone trailer hitches on 4-wheel drive pick-ups (speaking from experience). Anyway, we started moving into this house back in April and we still have items in the old house that we need to deal with, most of which I think is going to go bless someone else's home. It really is kind of silly taking 6 months to move, but, I'm sort of glad for it. I can't imagine just packing everything up and taking it all to a new home in one trip! At least I can decide what I want to keep and what I want to give away, before I bring it here. Don't get me wrong, there is quite a bit here already that should never have come. Oh well, if I ever move again, at least I'll be lighter in the move, LOL!
Anyhow, TIME has been my enemy, not my friend! I don't know where it sneaks off to hide from me, but it's quite efficient at doing it. During the 1st few months of our move, we stopped schooling for the year, and we picked it back up to finish last years work about 2 weeks after moving into our new home. I don't find schooling my kids hard, but it does take the time from us. This year, luckily, my youngest is becoming a little bit more independent, which frees me up a bit, whew! I knew the day would come, and it's slowly getting here.
So, if anyone is wondering why I'm writing today, well, it came up in a conversation at lunch today. Unfortunately, the husband of a co-worker, from my job I left 9 years ago, passed away and his funeral was today. A lot has changed about me in the past 9 years, so at first people didn't recognize me, but once they did it was as if I had never left those folks. They were a great group to work with, some of the nicest people you'd ever meet and in respect, I'm thankful for FaceBook, because it has allowed a few of us to stay in touch. Anyway, after the service, a several of us were able to go out to lunch and have fellowship. It was a lot of fun and brought back loads of memories of lunches spent with several of these same people. One of them asked me if I had a blog, how they knew to ask is beyond me, but yep I do! Although, I'm extremely poor at keeping it up, like you couldn't tell by the lapse in between posts, LOL!! So, I thought, once I got my son off the laptop, I'd see just how long it had been. (Really wish I was good at adding those cute little emoticons right now, because I'd put the one with the surprised look here ~ you'll just have to use your imgagination!) I swear it seems like I wrote the last post at the begining of this year, not 2 years ago! It's fun, so maybe I'll try to be better at keeping this up, although I refuse to make a promise, as you can see I'm not good at it.
Good Night!!
