new day

Well just got the placement report from the online school for Robert for next year. He is going to be in the GT math and GT language arts :)... got to start buckling down and working with him now and after we get back from my parent's house later this month.
I really need to get a cat for the house... so we can get rid of the mice. Sunny (our dog) does an OK job, but she is not nearly as good as catching mice as a cat would be. These mice are like from NIMH or something... they can lick peanut butter off a trap without snapping the trap...
Not much else going on today, thinking about putting an application in with SPAR to do merchandizing or something on the weekends... I used to like that part of my job at CC, so I'd probly be pretty good at it. Not sure about doing it though. guess it would depend on the compensation.
Today's goals are to get Tommy's room moved about to put Robert's bed in there and clean out the room Robert was using as that will be the school in a month and a half. wash some dishes and clothes, and fix spaghetti and bread sticks for dinner.

new chapter in our lives

Well I've been a stay at home mom for over a year and a half now, and we are fixing to start a new chapter in our lives next month. Robert will be attending Connections Academy of Houston. This is an online public school. We are really excited to see how he and I both do with it. I think he is going to take off being able to go at his own pace for the most part and not having to deal with the other kids teasing him... He will be getting AFOs and knee stabilizers probably later this month or early next month. So the next few weeks we will be buckling down getting the house cleaned, and getting things ready for school time. Robert and I will be sitting down when the supplies get here and making out what his school work schedule will be like and look over everything they send.
I am trying to decide what all I am going to write about in this blog. Probably mostly going to be about school, and trying to find little things I can do here to make money to help supplement Ken's job... may include recipes from time to time, and maybe money saving tips that I think of from time to time. Staying at home is not easy, and I need to start buckling down and get things done around here... may just put down a list of accomplishments for the week.

my goals for today are to clean Tommy's room, cook bbq meatloaf, corn on the cob, and mashed potatoes for dinner. Tomorrow we need to go to the library and turn our books in, and get some more cleaning done (thinking of moving Tommy and Robert back into the same room so the back can be used as a school room study next month.) tomorrow I will tackle the kitchen and start with the sink :) got to start FLYing again...
