Thank you Pam!

For sitting on a cold concrete floor with me the other night and pointing out my blogging flaws. lol I mean, at least it wasn't a flaw that made my eyes well up with tears of shame! I'm grateful for the reminder that this thing existed - although I imagine there's barely a reader. Anyway, it's only been 6 months, I think it's time for a post! ;-)

Eris' birthday is tomorrow! My girly-girl, gymnast, cuddle-bug is turning 6 tomorrow and she won't let any of us forget it. She's asked for an American Girl doll (her first) and a gift card to Claire's. This kid can NOT have enough accessories!! seriously!

Ethan's loving 4th grade and having a super cool guy teacher who calls him Kincaid because there's 2 Ethan's in the class. Things like that do wonders for a 9 yr old ego. lol Right now he's attempting to get me to agree to let him bring home two hissing cockroaches for pets. Ummmm, no. Not happening.

Ella Grace is learning that revenge just gets her in trouble. This kid is smart. She's calculating. My crystal ball says she'll be writing mystery novels as a profession.......or sucessfully robbing banks. lol Hey, maybe the latter is the reason she wants to continue cross country. Dude, I'm in trouble here!

Ehren is just a ball of energy from sun-up to sundown. And he literally calculates his bedtime by that sun-up to sundown measurement. No sleeping in on Saturdays people!

And as for me, I'm just struggling with keeping this family on the path. Much like every other mom on the planet I imagine. Choosing the right each day, trying to not look back as past errors in judgement, and attempting to think ahead a little to ensure security for our future.

My lia sophia business is still going strong! I have a team now of 8 ladies, and plans to grow it bigger yet. I love the feeling of helping someone get started knowing that they can completely change their financial woes, pay for school tuition, cash for Christmas, remodel, that new car, travel, whatever!

Now, off to find a good soup recipe for dinner. I love soup. Warm and hearty. With artisan bread. mmmmmmm. This will totally torture the family ya know - as they don't view soup as a meal. No, no, they only like it when it's closely followed by a big slab of meat. Wishful thinking on their parts, huh? ;-)

Til next time!
