Friday

This has got to have been the longest three day week ever, we had two snow days and I did nothing, well I did do a couple loads of laundry but lets just say I didn't throw myself out there and wow the world or even my family for that matter. I think that is why it has felt like I have run a marathon the last couple days.
I think I finally figured my stuff out for my classes this semester with FHSU, still not recommending them to anyone and may not even let my daughters take a college campus visit that is how frustrated I am with them, they may have increased their ability to reach more people but they did not increase their staff numbers. This means that it takes twice as long to get someone to answer questions and you get shuffled to other departments when they don't know the answer only to get sent back there again.
I am trying to save some money but it seems like every time I pull some out of checking to put it in savings I am calling to tell them to put it back, Oh well someday I will become a grown-up and learn to manage money...it is getting slightly better.
I agreed to write curriculum for the zoo this summer I don't know what I was thinking, now that isn't entirely true I was thinking make money ahead of summer then convince the hubby I don't have to have a real job this summer guess we will see how that goes. It will only work if I can stay out of savings not that I mind working during the summer and I have had some really interesting jobs but I want to spend time with my kids before they are all working or gone and it is to late, Jacob being in college and having worked the last two summers has made me realize how fast time flies and how soon none of them will be around excited to see them grow but man will I miss hanging out with no real place to be.
Ok I told you there is not a lot of exciting info right now so this is the latest update, have a great weekend and I will see you soon

Starting to Post again

Ok I have really done a horrible job blogging, my husband has told me, my mother and my kids, so I will try to do a better job. I really have had a hard time blogging because I just don't think anything is exciting lately, but hopefully you all will find my mundane life important enough to read about. We survived Christmas, I say survived but actually it was one of the best, I made my mom this scrap book not only did I have a wonderful time making it, she loved it. It made me feel really good because it was personal and not something that she could buy anywhere. My parents bought us a new grill it is so amazing, the old one is 15 years old and is starting to fall apart, we grill about three times a week, Duane is getting very creative lately even had some fish a few weeks ago from the grill it was so yummy.
The girls are in the middle of cheering for basketball and I am coaching both squads which means we are gone every night of the week, I get to spend plenty of time with the girls which is great but I am so not 20 anymore and I am so tired by the time Friday rolls around. Jacob starts school next Tuesday, he is so excited it is great to see him so fired up about going back to school, I am so proud of him.
Duane and I hadn't really missed the sheep until we started talking to the people we sold the ewes to and they are having babies, this is the part that I really loved so might have to go visit just to get my fix although choring in 6 inches of snow and chopping ice the last two mornings has reminded me of the parts I don't miss at all.
So my goal is to post a little more regular so for those of you that read this check back you never know
