Moved !

Well we are finally at the new house with mom and my sister. I thought we would never get moved out. I have never carried and packed so many boxes in my entire life. I actually filled a 30 yard dumpster, gave away about 7 truck loads of stuff, sent 2 truck loads to goodwill, and sold about 100 boxes at a yard sale. Now the bad news is, we have about 55 boxes of stuff to go through and sort out at the new house. Just this morning I sent another truck load to someone on freecycle, and took a box to the ebay store, for them to sell. It seems as if there is no end. I am having such a hard time trying to keep up with school, unpacking, cleaning, kids and everything else. I hope someday I can just sit down and relax. I don't know how much longer I can keep going at this pace.

College

Well I have to say it has been pretty hard this time, but I am managing to hang on :). I swear Anatomy and Physiology is like reading a foreign language lol. It might sound crazy, but I actually like taking the classes. I guess it gives me something of my own. I don't mind working hard toward a goal, and it feels good to accomplish something. I have my first paper due in argumentative and persuasive writing, and my first big test in A & P and Lifespan. I hope I do good. As they say, " Where there is a will, there is a way." I definitely have the will, now lets see if the way thing is true :). Time will tell.

Still Not Moved Yet!

Well my mom's house is actually sold and closed, but she is still not closed on the new house. It is taking forever and the company doing it has been awful. They were suppose to close us last Wednesday but then decided they needed to wait. Now we are suppose to close this Thursday. I hope they do, because we are suppose to be out of this house by this coming Sunday. Now we won't have the 10 days we anticipated on having to move. It is going to be a rush job moving it all. I ordered a dumpster today to get rid of all the junk in the basement and garage. It is going to be a HUGE job. I hope I am up to it. I will be glad when this is all finished. It has been very stressful, and I am tired. I sold about 50 boxes of stuff, gave away another 25 and took about 15 boxes to the goodwill. OMG it is never ending. I think we will end up filling the 20 cubic feet of the dumpster too!

Mommy Cut My Hair!

Well I did it. I decided I was going to try and see if I could cut Daniel's hair myself. I bought some clippers and the way I went. He did really good, but I'm not sure how well I did. I figure not too bad for the first try.

My Star! Paige as Anne Frank! Newspaper Article!

Here is Paige as Anne Frank in the production of The Diary of Anne Frank. The play is being put on by a local theater company, and premiers Sept. 9th. I was excited to see a newspaper article about the play, and about Paige as portraying Anne Frank. I am so happy for her, and know she is excited to portray such a touching character as Anne. This is of course my favorite part of the article. Of course as a mother, you know we all love to brag about our kids. "A great Anne just kind of dropped out of the sky," Cooley said of Paige. "She's unbelievably natural ... I can't wait to see how the audience responds to her." She worked really hard to play this part, and I am very proud of her.
