Everyday Life

I got the newest version of my blog in hard copy last week.  I have been printing it out every year so that I will have a copy for the kids when they get older, and I can no longer remember how to use the Internet.  It has been getting thicker every year, which I hope is good.  It reminded me that I need to be diligent in keeping at the blogging.  It is easy to neglect, but having this running chronicle of our life is a treasure, at least to us.  I've wanted to sit down and blog for over a week now, but haven't been able to find the time.

We have decided to sell this house and see if we can find something older, bigger, with interior walls, and closer to school.  Sometimes I think we should just move into the school and save ourselves the house payment, but I think the school might not appreciate that.  We have had the usual winter ailments, which have kept me running to school periodically to pick up a child who is not feeling well.  This adds Nurse Mom to the list of names I have and takes a fair amount of time.  On top of that we have season tickets to the WSU men's basketball games.  Why?  Because my husband loves it, and we have to clean the coliseum to raise money for the children's classes at school.  Crazy, yes, I know.  Brooke is playing Jr. High basketball.  Bronwyn is in the competition season for gymnastics, as well as knowledge bowl. As well as the usual music lessons, homework, school plays, PE, and the three meal a day thing.  Life is full, and it is all very good.
