No really I have been too busy to write out a long post....I have now officially became a Brownie leader....yeah I am nuts....Its like a have another job..alot of time has to be put in this....so Thats why I have been MIA.
And yes I have fallen for FB too...I see some chat on other blogs about that....I keep in touch there with alot of friends and I have a few who are having some rough health problems and that's is how I keep updated with them.
I always say to myself oh wow I need to blog about that,,or blog about this..and well..you know how that goes....I need one of those advanced technology that you just talk and it types for you!
Hope everyone is enjoying the changing of the season!
Blessings

has it been that long again..
Wow..I have neglected my blog yet again. But I tell myself for having 5 kids 2 jobs I am not doing that bad. It always is this busy at this time of year...and Fall is my favorite season, go figure. School is going well so far.. I still hate getting up and rushing around in the morning but that will never change.
Some of my time is going to Friday night Football games to see Kevin march...I remember those days..the memories! He has also had a few parades already and the big band festival is this Sat..and I am working that..yeah me! I have been working more hours too because the band trip to Disney is fast approaching and money is not...and we all would like to go but so far not looking good.
Brittney started up again with Girl scouts and Alyssa's starts in Oct. Alyssa also went back to Dancing school. I still have a few months before Basketball starts...Brittney plays that...and just think my two littlest really do not do anything yet..."sigh"
Sunday school started up so we are trying to make it every Sunday....I was really hoping to get into a bible study but time is not looking good.
So as you see I have alot on my plate but honestly I have been Facebooking alot too...I am addicted..what can I say! So that is taking up some time....I just love getting in touch with so many people I never see or have not seen in years...it is a blessing to reconnect with so many...and the games are fun too! LOL
Also if you could say some extra prayers for dear friend of mine...he is experiencing some health problems and has a wife and 3 small children....pray that God will put his healing hand on him and let him fight this!
have a blessed week!

Back to school
So one day down and 179 to go.....ugh...so far so good but I am already overwhelmed. This year is Kevin in 9th, Brittney in 4th, Alyssa 2nd, Brandon KDG and Ryan is still in the pre-school for his speech issues and that is only 2 days a week. I miss them when they are in school...really I do...well I Guess I am lying if I would say a little break isn't nice but 5 days a week now until June. And on top of school we have girl scouts starting up again and Dance for Alyssa and Boy scouts for Kevin and now he is in the HS band.
And I am trying to work 30+ hours because money is getting tight...but again God sees us through..he always does! i have a great supportive husband who does his share and then some! Well maybe now this will free up some time for me to blog more..LOL
have a blessed day!

who would have thought habing a child in the HS band would be so overwhelming!
So I went to my 1st band parent meeting and my chest and head hurts! I def want my son to stick with the band, he has played his trumpet since 3rd grade along with the piano since 2nd and bass since 3rd too so no doubt I want him to stay with music, however being in the band is not just alot of work for the student it is for the parent too!
This is the year for the "Disney Trip" so that equal $$$$! fundraisers all the time. Ok so that is expected but the band is one the of the best in this whole area and they take pride and its awesome to see that but now I have to be a part of that and 5 kids (1 with autism) and working 32-49 hours a week is not going to be easy.
Don't get me wrong I attend the meetings when I can and I am willing to help out but this volunteering for the band is going to be like another job for me! They work on a point system...1 hour of service+2 points and each kids parents have to get 50 points or you pay money. So I could give them $100 and that's it but who am I kidding..don't have that much money to do just that!
well so far I am working the snack bar at the HS football game...that's about 4 hours so 8 points! Then they have a band festival and I am passing out water and pretzels to the visiting bands...not sure how many hours...lets say 2...4 more point! I volunteered my mom(HA HA) to make Huklishki(sp) for one of the games and that's 5 points! I will have17 points..WOOHOOO...Only 33 more to go!!!!!!!!!Well I can call it quits there but I will have to pay $66 which I still dont have and maybe thats because the trip is costing $1200 and not sure if I can fund raise all of that...my son does have $450 so far but the trip is in April..oh wait the money is due Feb...(my head hurts again!)
So on top of that we have all the parades that I have to go to(thats what moms do) and the FB games every Friday night(and by October/Nov it will be freezing out) I can all I can to it bear it and keep looking forward..and think if all my kids will be in the band I only have.....13 more years of this! Chest hurts now too!

VBS and Swimming lessons are DONE!
Today was our last day of swimming lessons which we have done for the last 2 weeks...just an hour a day but I hate just sitting there and then chasing Ryan when he decided he did no want to take part, and do his own thing.
Vacation Bible School also wrapped up last night. it was a fun week..we had about 70 kids and even had Middle/high school class. The kids had so much fun...
I did the Pre-school games outside with them. Wow they are a handful...some of these kids do not listen at all. Its sad to see too because these kids are getting dropped as we are considered "a babysitter" but in the long run they are learning how great is our God with all he does! Its a blessing in disguise!
My husband even came and helped...how awesome is that! He is the husband who comes to church on Holidays and when the kids are singing or somehow involved. They even had him portray Jesus as the kids sang. Then last night he stayed after and helped them clean up! That means alot to me Mark! Love you! (you are 30% on your way to heaven, we still have alot of work to do.LOL) No that's good..I never like to see someone become a christian because they are forced but because they want to.
Well school starts here in about 3 weeks...don't know if I am happy or sad. I hate my kids being gone from me all day but I am ready for a break..like a week would be fine! Summer has just flew by! I am actually really starting to look forward to Christmas....I know its early but I dont know..something tells me this is going to be an awesome one for us!
Have a great weekend all!
