I have been called out on my lack of posting. Thank you Miss Mel for showing me the errors of my ways! LOL..... I have however been updating the HS blog: http://lhofb.blogspot.com/ . My apologies that I have neglected my daily duties here. Have been very busy, HS'ing and really trying HARD to get some semblance of a schedule going. We went to the corn maze a week and a half ago, you can see pics in the HS blog! We had soooo much fun. Last week I made cupcakes for the Feed the Hungry program that the church participates in, took the boys to church Wednesday nite to practise for the children's choir. Today they WERE the choir. The adults got booted out! LOL.... They were GREAT tho and all of 'em soooo cute! OTOH, poor Keenan was sooooo sick. Instead of dropping him off in the nursery to get all the other kids sick (which mind you was VERY tempting seeing as how that's where he got sick the last 2 times), we kept him in the sanctuary with us. I expected a fuss out of him,...

Another slightly chilly morning. As predicted yesterday, AC didn't show up. Surprise, surprise... The Elders are getting dressed and doing chores. I am going to make them sing for their supper today after their antics yesterday. The ate dinner, and were all in bed by 7:45 last nite. I was very no-holds barred. I will be today as well. We'll be working on worksheets today among other things and I have more to do on the house to prep it for the IL's coming in this weekend. -sweep and mop upstairs linoleum -Clean out fridge -Make bed -laundry (as always) -wipe down bathroom upstairs I think this is my do list for today. Need to make do lists for the rest of the week. I ended up doing so much outside yesterday and having a crap day in general that I didn't get my list accomp'd yesterday. Oh and I think I forgot to mention that Roberto got a new asst. mgr. hired y-day! Long story short, the guy that called in sick Sunday was promoted the week before, leaving 3 stores wit...

So........ I wake up a bit later than I like to. No biggie, but I feel horrible. Just real blah and drag-gy. Tristen was eating brek when I came up. The other 2 slept til I got them up at 8:30-ish. The Elders FOUGHT and wouldn't listen AT ALL ALL morning. As a matter of fact I opened the stairs door to hear one of them POUNDING on the other one. So I yell and trample down the stairs to find Sebastion beating Tristen. Come to find out that Tris had been waling on him first. *sigh* So they both got in trouble for that. Now I have spent the last year and a half or so getting Sebastion to defend himself against Tris but he took it to an unacceptable level this morning. Instead of one good sock to the tummy, he went psycho on his back over and over. So as punishment (after the talk about brotherly love), I made them hug TIGHTLY for a minute and then I made Sebastion read to Trisen and Tristen had to listen. They've been getting along since! LOL.... So when I first went out this morn...

Robby got called into work yesterday. I was so bummed. Apparently his asst. mgr. was sick. I think God was testing me to see if I'd actually drag the kids off to church. I did and I am so glad I did. Afterwards Sebastion talked to me about some things that were bothering him. Then later he spoke to Robby about it and he said the same things I did. It was really cool how in sync we usually are! So they are looking to hire not one but THREE asst. mgr's. for their properties. I think that is a highly wise choice. Hopefully all will calm down soon and we can start going to church again. All of us. Together. As a family. Untill I blog again, God Bless you all! Tell someone you love them. TODAY! Don't wait!

We haven't been to church for three weeks. I've hated it (not going that is!). But the first week Keenan was sick and the last 2 I was. But YAY we are getting ready this morning. DH has just escaped the shower and I am on my way into in a few. I have a few more things to do before tommorrow concerning HS so will be busy this afternoon and possibly a late night. I was so excited with mail yesterday. I FINALLY got my new book, Created to Be His Help Meet . I ordered it a few weeks ago and have been tapping fingers since then. I read just a few pages last nite then drifted to never never land. I can't wait to get more into it! I have wanted this book for a few months now. Well, I am off to the shower now. Have a wonderfully blessed day and give Thanks to His Blessed name!

But it wasn't working earlier (the pic thingie). So I am trying again. Got some weenie decs up the past couple days. Added some more today but don't have piccies yet!

So my Mum and I had our yard sale this past Fri. & Sat. Between the 2 of us about 600. Excellent weekend. Soooooo exhausting though! I was still sick and could NOT sleep at nite either nite. I also wasn't able to eat much. So thank God it is all over with, I can move on. I am finally feeling better. Everyone else is doing better. Tristen has been pulled out of public school and as of September 21 is being homeschooled. I am so happy. He has quit alot of his horrible behavior since then. The few weeks he was in school he was pooping his pants. He's been PT'ed for 2 years. But as soon as we pulled him out, he quit. \o/..... Keenan is sooo trying to talk. He gives hugs and kisses now when you ask. It is sooooo sweet! Sebastion is Sebastion. We need to start preparing for his birthday party. And the Elders are so 'cited about Halloween. The Edlers are going to be ninjas and Keenan is going to be a lion. OH and I am so excited. My IL's are coming down for the week...
