We are moving On


Now that we are home it is up to the kids and I to pack up the house, because we are moving. We are moving out August 1st. We will be down sizing tremendously. But, I am looking forward to it. We need this actually. I know sometimes stuff can get in the way of true living. I don't want or need that. Because of my childhood stuff has been a comfort in the past. Now I want to get rid of it. So, that means getting rid of the big house first & then the stuff that's stuffed in it.
Our new home will be 1,600 sq. ft. The house we live in now is 4,000 sq. ft. Thanh works long hours and every weekend but 1 in July we will be gone or he will be. So, I have my work cut out for me. Not only do I need to pack and do the normal moving things a person does, but I need to sort out what we have and donate, throw away and plan a moving sale. Not to mention all the normal Mom things that needs to be done. Will I make it? Of course, I always do. But due to my health issues I need to be organized and prioritize where I spend my energy. That's hard to do sometimes.

Let's Celebrate!

Skylar is officially a High School Student. Yeah!!!!!! We did it!!! I say we because I've been right there in the trenches with him. He has worked so hard it's insane. I think homeschooling has given him not only confidence, but the feeling of being in control of his education. He knows that if he works hard he'll get his work done. And then he can relax or move on to the next lesson. Most of the time he moves on to the next lesson. And that makes me so proud to see his determination and desire for education. So, Saturday we went to Chuck E. Cheese. Mahala has been wanting to go for awhile now, so we thought we could do it for an end of the year thing. We just played games, no pizza. Because afterwards we went out for an early dinner at one of Skylar's favorite restaurants and then hit the Mall.

P.S. I'm very proud and thankful for all my children. Congratulations Skylar!! I knew you would overcome all the educational obstacles that you have had and be Successful. I never doubted you!
