Hello everyone! I can't even remember when the last time I posted. I have been up to my eyebrows, and sometimes underneath the chaos that has always come with the end of the year and such.
Hubby has finished ALL of his college coursework, and the only thing we need to do now is get his final paperwork submitted and the check to pay for his audit and the printing of his degree and it will be all over....though he's making noises about going for his MBA...argh.
Thomas has been central to numerous run-ins with the school system. Not because he's been in trouble but because they want to remove his IEP, right before he starts middle school (when he needs all the support he can get), and before he has his evaluation to refute or support the provisional diagnosis of Asperger'sr!! Needless to say, I think hell froze over because Ken lost his temper and I was the calm one. They finally agreed that what I was saying made sense, and we will re-visit the IEP *after* the scheduled evaluation (not until April).
Rebekah spent Christmas break singing "all I want for Christmas is my
*4* front teeth - she lost the center 4 within a few weeks....argh! However, while her adult teeth are coming in, they aren't exactly coming in where they are supposed to. So far, she has had 4 teeth pulled - all on the bottom - to help her adult teeth get where they need to be. Now that they are in, there's no room for any more, so there will more than likely be more extractions in the future, followed by braces. Fortunately, Thomas isn't looking like he'll need braces, and Bek isn't needing glasses right now, so they kind of balance each other out. I can't imagine how we'll cover 2 children with glasses and braces if that situation arises.Me...well, I've rejoined Soldiers' Angels and will be making Blankets of Hope, alternating between personal projects and custom sewing and the blankets/quilts. I have cut back to 1 craft fair a year because I didn't make ANY money at the spring fair. I think it's okay as it gives me more time to make items for sale. I'm trying to lose weight again...only this time, Ken is working with me. We are hoping for a family vacation later this year
So...I'm still alive, but not online as much Larisa
