New school year begins soon!

Wow, where did the summer go? The kids here in our town started school yesterday. My kids, which are public schooled from home don't start until the 31st. In true Tena style I have waited until the last minute to get ready. Oh yeah, I still am not ready. Good thing I have tomorrow and the next day off to get some kind of organization going!

The kids are spending the day at their Aunt's house with their Aunt Terry,Uncle Rabbit, cousins and Grandma. Plan is for them to swim all day and play with the dogs and play board games with Uncle Rabbit. They are all sleeping over and I pick them up tomorrow after my doctors appointment since I will be on that side of town anyway. I hope they are having a blast, kicking off the end of summer having tons of fun. They are extremely lucky to have their Grandma, who spends day in and day out with them and still wanted to take them with her, even though it was suppose to be her day to get away from the house, the kids, and just kick it with her daughter. I hope they appreciate it. I certainly do.

Grandma Carol's 72nd Birthday is Thursday. She wants an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Think we can arrange that. She doesn't ask for much. We are all blessed to have her.

Now I am off to bed since I got off work this morning at 7:30 and have to go back tonight at 11:30. Then two glorious days off. Thank you God!

Long night, longer day!

Readjusting your schedule after a lazy summer is hard. Making the kids day people again is even harder. To bad there isn't night school for middle school! Yes my kids are public schooled from home but they do have live lessons online and need to be awake for them. I have to learn how to stay up after getting off work at 7:30 A.M. and keep kids moving so that they will go back to sleeping at night! Wish me luck!!!!

Starting over!

Well the summer is flying by so fast that it's almost time for school again. So we are changing our schedules now so we will be ready for school when it starts. Kids hate it, means they have to actually get out of bed or the couch when I get home from work at 8 in the morning. Since I am gone all night, dad's not home until after 2 in the morning and he is deaf, they are use to staying up until 6 or 7. My plan, to run their little butts ragged until they have to sleep at night.

Unfortunately for me, I can no longer come home and go to bed after work, I have to force myself to stay up until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. So guess we will all be a little ragged for awhile.

This is the first time I have been on the computer in a long time. The last time I was here I just blogged and got off. Today I actually checked my 4 email accounts (does anyone really need that many?) Talk about thousands of emails, mostly junk but some good ones. Course I haven't read them, I will save them for later today or tomorrow. The kids and I are headed out to the park before it gets to hot, which means we should have went last March! Oh well.

Just wanted to let everyone know we are alive, doing okay and gainfully employed. See mom, told you I would write when I found work! LOL
