Britt's BDay weekend

Time has sure been flying by! And I really just have been too busy to sit and blog lately.

Last week "illness" swept through the house. Nathan and Britt were both down sick. And I had a day or 2 that I just wasnt feeling the best. Thank God it is gone and out of here!!!! I spent most of the week disinfecting and re-disinfecting our entire house... and keeping up with the laundry!

Last week we also decided to go back to homeschooling Nathan and Brittany. For many, various reasons. When I had them both to the pediatrician... we did some talking... and health wise, it just seems like a good idea too. I swear... there is something in those schools that just keeps those 2 fighting one thing after another.
I already started all of the paperwork... and am trying to work out the details of still having Nathan participate in the districts music and band programs.

This weekend was Brittany's 14th BDay!! She had 5 of her friends over for games, ping pong, skating, hot tubbing and camping out in my shop! They were all a GREAT bunch of girls... and I really learned alot ... Including what the elephant said to the naked man!! ("It's cute, but can you pick up peanuts with it!" LMBO) Ugh boy... they grow up so fast!! I have also found that girls are just gross!! That is all I will say about that! LOL
Stacy and I really enjoyed getting out on skates again. Even with it being a HUGE risk for me to do (because of my broken back)... I REALLY miss my roller derby days!!! It was fun doing the slow skates with my hubby too! ;-)
I think that is something we really need to fit in on a more regular basis!!!

I didnt get near enough sleep last nite. I am def too old for that crap!! Plus, we had to get up early and pull Josh's car out of the ditch he ended up in... because of the snow, crappy road conditions and a plow. The boy was really lucky to have no damage... and we were able to pull it out without rolling it!!! Let me tell you... if he would have slid another inch... he would have been on his roof! I am hoping the next time I tell him to just ride with us... he takes my advice!!!

Today Stac and I went up to the hang glider spot to take some pics. Couldnt stay too long... it was FREEZING with that wind that rolls up through there! But it was fun!!! My truck does GREAT in the deep snow!!

All in all it was a fun weekend. Everyone in my house is exhausted... and starting to get cranky and whiny!

Stacy painted the upstairs bathroom today... so I have to clear out the downstairs one so everyone can shower. I am really hoping to have my own butt in bed by 8 tonite... but I still have to finish tomorrow's bread. So we shall see how long that takes me. I am pretty sure I have myself good time wise. Fingers crossed!

Tomorrow--Courtney has her second detention for last weeks unacceptable behavior. And Stacy and I have a late appt with our therapist. I dont like those late appt... I am never very happy when I am not home to put the kids to bed... even tho they are getting older now. Let me tell you... it really hit me yesterday just how fast my kids are growing up!
Other than that... this week will be another busy one!

OK... time to get moving on our evening routine!
Hope everyone had as awesome of a weekend as we did!!

P.S.
Dear God,
Thank you for getting all of the kids healthy rather quickly... and keeping the germs from spreading to the rest of the house! AND... for keeping us ALL safe while traveling in the nasty weather last night!!
Amen!!
