I've been invited to try Time4Learning for one month in exchange for a candid review. Time4Learning can be used for homeschool, afterschool and summer skill sharpening. Be sure to come back and read about my experience.

Has to Vent

Since when do we tell our "friends" what is appropriate to put on our own Facebook? I have been told that I am not to vent on Facebook...LOVE IT....the only people who can see what I post are the ones within my friends list, my son is a 7 year old boy and he ripped part of a paper table-cloth BIG deal, not a reason to chew me out very rudely or anything, it's not fair to make me feel like bad mom for a rip in paper, this can not be my biggest concern, when I have to watch my littlest one around peanut containing foods that had to be my biggest concern, so what exactly do you want me to do? Nick was NOT the only child "running" around, for the most part mine sit through Sacrament meeting quietly, with the exceptional bathroom trip, mine don't cry or scream and I'm being told by other "friends" that my kids are reverent, yeah thanks for that, you tell me that I can't voice my thoughts or feelings on FB and that my kids aren't reverent. Guess what, you can hit the 'friend' button just as easily as the 'un-friend' button, it's not like I posted it on my profile page, it's in my NOTES section, if you don't want to hear my vent don't read my page, I do my best with my children and some tell me to let them be kids (I like you guys) so please someone tell me what I am supposed to do and be since I am obviously not doing it right.

Censored Speech

I really need to censor my speech, or maybe not drive. Anyone that knows me proabably knows that I have anxiety issues, so much so that I have RX medication for my severe attacks. Well I have almost quit driving all together, I rarely take all 3 kids out without Jason anyways, however, yesterday I had to get some errands done and low and behold, during the course my running around, the boys got on one of my last nerves and of course I'm driving in Maryville Missouri, so most of have to know how drivers are here, they stop completely to make a small turn, and turn signals are optional here. While I was waiting for a little elderly woman to figure out what she was doing out of my mouth comes without any prior known knowledge or permission from me....."Hurry up Ol' Bat" and within seconds of wishing I had NOT said it out loud, my sweet 5-year old asks what an Ol Bat is, trying to cover my own rear-end instead of admitting Mommy wasn't being very nice, I came up with it means that she is an elderly person who is both Beautiful and Talented (BaT) I did mention that it is only used in the car while driving never in person. After some silence in the car, and Jason silently or mostly silently laughing...Jacob says "Mommy, you're an Ol' Bat" and of course all I can say is "Why thank you honey"
My oh my, the things I do and go through. I won't even start on what I told my daughter when she over-heard my sister and I talking about what we called our 'hooker-boots'  What have you said that you had to re-censor? :)

That's a whole lotta dough!

So since I was attacked last week (by a cat) and had issues, I'm finally back to being able to use my right hand again, mostly at least! I thought that I would make bread since it's been a week, the spot where I had it written down had the sugar version instead of the honey, so I went off memory and instead of the 2 loaves conversion I ended up making enough for 4 loaves!
So now we have 2 loaves of bread, 24 mini sweet rolls (those went last night) and 6 jumbo cinnamon & brown sugar muffins! Turned out nicely though.
Very bummed about missing church today though, all 5 of us aren't feeling the best,mine I think is ALL sinus though, Jacob has a fever and has for a few days, Catey is sick to her stomach, and poor Nick is all stuffed up. :(
I am so excited to go to this Homeschool Convention & Curriculum Fair in Kansas City in only 2 weeks though! I think that we are even going to go to the KC Zoo! (weather depending of course). But for now, I think we are all going to rest and eat soup.

My Journey..the Beginning

I'm am so new to 'Blogging' but my head is going to implode if some of my thoughts don't try to escape some how, I see how lost my husband gets when I go from one subject to another in just a few minutes (after I've had 23 other topics, thoughts and conversations in my head) and expected him to keep up with me; we've had a discussion where I have given him the rundown of how I got from getting Coconut Milk when we go to the store to why we need to rearrange the pictures on the living room wall.

This is my journey to find peace within myself as well as the Super-Mom I know I am capable of becoming. Trying to juggle a husband who's a theatre major is a lot of Drama..add to that 3 kids, a 'moose' of a Dog named Riley, laundry, dishes, homework for a full load of college classes for myself, and now I'm entering into the Homeschool world with my middle child who is a Different Needs and Highly Distractible Boy of 7 years as well as my just turned 5 Need special attention but I can do it myself Son and my 10 year old in love with Justin Bieber Diva of a daughter. Let's add to that trying to lose weight and make healthier lifestyle choices for myself and my brood.

This could get crazy!
