It has been just plain crazy around our house over the last month. I can't believe it's been that long since my last post! I'm so rarely home in the evenings...or at least at home with just me and the kids. We're hoping that life slows down a bit by Thanksgiving...but we'll see :)
Our busy weeks have included: Stamp meetings or events on Mondays, swim lessons for the boys on Tuesdays, church on Wednesdays, Ben's soccer practice on Thursdays, and some Fridays I have had stamp events in my home. Saturday mornings Ben has had soccer games and of course church on Sundays. And Rob has been working mandatory Sundays this month, so six of the seven nights of the week, I'm alone with the kids. We're looking forward to two nights in a row with no where to go and no one coming over!! Soccer finished last Saturday and there are only two swim lessons left, so that will free up two nights of the week.
We have gotten more involved with a homeschool group as well. On Tuesday, we took the kids to the annual fire house visit and this year they got to run the hose. Quite the treat, especially for Ben. Rob went with us and I'm so thankful he was there--I was pretty tired that day. The boys have joined a homeschool reader's theater group that meets the first and third Monday of the month. They both enjoy it, although Ben had to be a barrel last time :)
My stamp business has really started to take off. I promoted again this month and have three downline members and another in my second level. I have a (hopefully) huge event next month that will let me break out of my circle again. My regular card nights are averaging eight and scrapbook nights around five. We had a book-a-thon recently but I didn't put too much effort into getting workshops because.....
.....we're moving! Our landlord has a three bedroom available and we are hoping to be fully moved over there by the 12th of November. We are going to move slowly, starting with the storage, and want to take our time. I think it would be too overwhelming for me to do a full day move at this point. We have a whole load of things ready and waiting to take over when we get the keys. The new place is only about three blocks from our current home and it is MUCH bigger. Anna will have her very own room.
I have news to report on my health, but I think I'll wait to post. I'm going to be treated by my chiropractor instead of a traditional MD...the chiro is also a wellness doctor and seems to not only know more about fibro and chronic fatigue, but actually is interested in helping me get better, which my regular doctor was not.
