Rick and I had a great anniversary yesterday. Nineteen years!
Can't wait til 20!
He's stuck with me now for sure.
Life is pretty quiet here at our home. Still working to get our house back together. We are sort of at a stand still as far as painting and building. Sort of burnt out.
am homeschooling my middle son and it is a bit challenging at times. We sort of get on each others nerves, like right now, and I am taking a break.
Breathe-
We are hoping that this year will boost his confidence for High school. He has such a hard time focusing. He has fallen behind and many times I blame myself because I was so wrapped up in my own issues with cancer , that my children took a backseat. Well, hopefully , this is what is neded to help him and get him back on track.
As you can tell, I am a bit stressed right now. I love the kid but boy does he know how to push my buttons.
Well, in just a sec we are going to move onto Language Arts, that should be fun.. Working on Indirect objects today --wahoo!
I feel confident that this is the right thing for him. I have been praying and this neat opportunity presented itself. It's also a blessing that Rick has been home with us, so I have a little back-up at the moment.
Well, time to start LA, farewell!

I am still here
Hi there. I am still here. Just a little discombobulated.
Our house was flooded by a slab leak in April and we have still not recovered from the damage. We're getting here though.
Not enough drama in our life so ....
Anyway, I got a pretty new tile floor and new paint job in all the rooms @-@.
Sarah and I took off to Maine for the summer and left Rick and the boys home to do distruction work on the house and get it back to a livable state. Us girls had a grand ol' time driving around the east coast and stopping at lots of neat things. Lots of pictures but I won't bore you. Someday I'll get a few good ones onto Flickr. We loved our summer and Sarah got to spend time with all of her Aunts and Uncles and some cousins. We both made new friends and read a lot of books.
Back to reality, and boy-howdee, is it ever.
Well, just a short update on us. every one is healthy and happy and back to school already. I am homeschooling Charlie this year. I am excited aobut it and , surprisngl, he is too. Only for this year, then he's at High School, but we want to get those grades up before he goes there and I think this is the best way, one on one. We are going through the K12 progam, so it follows the county curriculum and it's all pretty planned out. Pray for us...
well, off to bed I go.

Just checking in
Hello, long time, no write.
Been pretty busy here. Trying to organize issues with our home and getting kids all set for summer. It's going to be a fun one.
Our home is in shambles since our little flood after we got back from the Grand Canyon. Still waiting to get rolling on the tile and bathrooms. Yuck. I don't like living on cement, but what can you do?
My kids are all fine. Charlie just auditioned for the Brevard Symphony Youth Orchestra ( sounds impressive). I hope he makes it. (praying)
Jimmy is well also, still drawing Anime and super talented at it.
Sarah is still obsesses with all things horse-y. Trying to find a good instuctor for riding lessons. When school starts hopefully she will be settled into that. ShRick is ok, the economy is hitting us a bit hard with the business, but God has a plan so we are trusting in that as always.
I am feeling healthy, trying to soose some lbs, what else is new.
We had a great weekend going to Disney Studios with our friends. It was Star Wars weekend so that was totally right up my alley.
Got another treatment of Herceptin this week. Got to find out about getting treatment in Maine this summer since I will be up there for a long time.
Other than that , everything is sort of status quo.
Oh, I got a Kindle for Mother's Day and absolutely love this thing. I was having a very difficult time reading because of vision issues and chemo-brain, lack of concentration and memory loss ( I am a mess)! But I am really enjoying reading on this gadget. I think because I can enlarge the print, It's light,, easy to hold and I can jump from book to book! Well, I love it! I just finished The Host by Stephanie Meyer and it was pretty good. I love science fiction with a bit of lovey dovey stuff thrown in there.
Well, that's it for me. Waiting for tile guy to come.
Much love,
Joann
