Hello ... I haven't updated this blog in a long time. I have been blogging since 2002 and when Xanga made the decision to start charging their users I decided to move here to Blogger. I had this one for awhile and for some reason decided to change to a new blog with a new name. I've been using that one for awhile but because I have no followers on there and because I've put so much time and effort on this blog I decided to come back here. Yes, very confusing I am! The other blog was solely for family life but on here I can make it about a mix of everything. So I'm back! And I'm sorry for the inconvenience, not that I have many readers anymore ... not like I did when I was on Xanga. Oh, I miss Xanga.
So, if you haven't been following me on the other blog titled The Tiny Tornado Chaser I'll give an update on some of the events going on in the last several months.
My son turned 8 in the winter and has been doing very well in school. He's above average in reading and math. His handwriting can use some work and I've been trying to help him with that but he can't seem to get the knack. Another season of baseball has just started and this will be his final year with "coach pitch." He's also completing another year of cub scouts and will be receiving his wolf patch this weekend.
My daughter turned 4 last summer. She's been doing great in preschool and has come so far in the last year. She knows the letters and can write them. She's also become a pro at writing her name and she can also write MOM. She can also count pretty high. I registered her for kindergarten and even though I've had some doubts about her readiness I am becoming more confident that she will be okay. She can't wait to join her big brother on the school bus in the fall. This is also her first year doing dance and she loves it. I'm hoping this is something she chooses to continue doing for a long time.
My husband is doing well. He's been having some stomach issues and after some tests figured out what was going on. We've changed our diet and it seems to be helping. I won't go into further details on that right now. He has been busy with work, being a cub scout den leader and has now started back as an assistant coach in baseball. That man has a lot going on.
As for me, everything remains the same. I try the best I can to keep things functioning at home. The house isn't always as clean as I'd like it to be but I'm always on my feet cleaning, cooking, playing, etc.
We are now into spring but so far the cold has stuck around. I knew it would happen. Winter weather started late this year. We were lucky with that. I'm ready for the warm weather to come and stick around. I do not do cold weather very well. Oh, no! Luckily it was a mild winter with just one huge snow storm giving us about 30" of snow.
Spending three days shoveling the driveway was not fun at all but I shouldn't complain.
That's just a small update of what has been going on. I'll attempt to update more often and move the stuff I wrote on the other blog on here and stick to this one permanently.
