Today was a nice day of cleaning and decorating despite taking teen to store to shop for family in Fla (need to get the package out). I know it has been forever since I wrote and my apologies but I have been busy and not alot of time on the computer (just ask my WOW guild.. I come on now and the all shout with exclamation and surprise). Still in school but will graduate in May.. WHOOOOPPEEEE!!! Our house is in better shape as we fixed the roof, got a wood stove, and redid the kids rooms. The wood stove is a god send, it not only adds warmth but atmosphere :) We did all this in hopes that we can refinance as last time we tried to get out of our ARM we were underwater. The appraisor comes Monday so we are keeping our fingers crossed. Our rate jumped to 9.25% and it is killing us.
Other then that it has been work and kids keeping me hopping. Now that we have three it has been kicked up a notch. It is wonderful having my step daughter back with us but as she is fourteen there are also the hormones to deal with but all in all it has been good (bumpy start and big blowup later). All the kids are doing well in school although TJ is not doing as well this year as last which concerns me some. Teen is working three days a week which is good since she has expensive taste :) and the boys are in just boyscouts right now (thank god!).
I have just recommitted myself to my health and I am trying to work out but not push myself terribly as I have a habit of going gung ho and then burning myself out so I will attempt not to repeat that pattern.
Ok that is it for now... my months in a nutshell.
