So much catching up to Do

If anyone still reads this, I haven't forgotten. I just have not been in much mood to write, and I also haven't had a lot of time lately, either.

In a nutshell....D and I's divorce was final a month ago. E finished first grade, and I've begun working with her on 2nd grade. C finished 5th grade, and we are on an extended break. Both girls are signed up for softball again this year. It will be E's first year playing, and C's 5th year. D will be coaching C's team again. The weather has turned warm and beautiful here, so girls have been spending every day outside playing with their many friends on the street from the minute the other kids get out of school until dark, if I let them. LOL

I've been busy trying to take care of the house, the 12 pets, 2 daughters, home schooling, and helping my friend. As the only "adult" (I use that term loosely, LOL) in the house all winter, I learned how to light our boiler in less than 5 minutes, without crying, panicing, or blowing up the house. I figured out how to install a new screen for my front door. There was some crying with that task, but I managed. And I have added mowing the lawn, and scooping dog poop to my list of chores. Oh, and I had to kill a spider all by myself....ALL my "spider-killers" have moved out.

One of these days I will try to get on here and update our curriculum lists, and plans for next school year. God Bless anyone who still reads this.
