Been a good long time since I updated here.....life has gotten away from me it seems.  We just got done with Winter break, time for our public schoolers to go back to school today as well as Katie.  She had a few subjects she needed to get caught up on so I am giving her the rest of the week to get finished.  We are getting some super deep cleaning jobs done after everyone being home for the holidays.  Plus she is getting ready to head off to our church's winter retreat this weekend as well.  We moved the youngest girls' into a room together to give our tween her own room over vacation as well.  It is freezing here....I know it is much colder all over the country but, for Texas woo hoo this is COLD!!!!  Gonna get colder over the next few days too.....brrrrr

I have lost lots of bookmarks on my other computer plus life....well you all know how it can get away from you.  Katie is actually a junior this year but, we are hoping and praying this will end up being her senior year.  She is going to try to take the GED classes then the actual test after next birthday.  We are doing her English and Texas History both using the internet this year.  She is taking Spanish, Algebra, Geography, and Bible as well.  I have started a new excercise regimen, (Katie is doing it with me, as her P.E.) since my Dani (6th grade) and Hellie (2nd grade) are in public school I have to get them on the bus each morning.  So we walk them to the bus, then take a three mile fast/slow walk to a nearby walking track where we fast walk a lap then head back home.  I am gonna do this the whole school year, will be interesting to see what the end result is. I am also several times a week doing Hip Hop Abs to pump my exercising up.  I am already noticing a difference in my energy level, sleep patterns, and how my clothes are fitting.  We have gotten back into a rythym with our schedule....girls' are loving being back to school!  I am back to my regular meeting schedule as well...MOPS, home school group, running the kids' around to things, and women's bible study.  I was ready to get back to "normal" but now I am tired ;)
