I'm so excited!

I went to bed last night knowing that I would make myself start this blog in the morning. I could hardly go to sleep just thinking about it. So, here I am.

A little info about myself. I am a wife and a mother of four. I have been homeschooling my children for about seven years now! (That even surprised me when I counted that up.) I just finished online classes and got my associate degree this past year. Don't ask me why, I guess I just felt like I needed to be even busier. Ha, Ha. I am a happy-go-lucky person and pretty much look at life as fun and exciting. I am also a writer(still trying to get published, but I know it'll happen).

So, why this blog? Does anyone else out there like to talk? I do. What about knowing that there is someone else out there going through something similar to what you are going through? Me too.

At this point in my life, my husband and I are building a house, with the help of my parents. My dad built houses in his younger years, so he has all the expertise. You talk about a full time job. My day consists of trying to throw a load of laundry into the washer when I remember, school the kids, keep the dishes from taking over the kitchen (the laundry's already taken over the bathroom), drive out to the house we're building and do oh, so many things, and then feed my husband(he gets kind of cranky if I forget this one). I remember telling my mom a few months ago that I do not see how a woman could work outside the home and still do all she needs to at home with the kids and husband. I am absolutely exhausted!

For any homeschooling moms out there, I am always up for a good chat about the curriculum you use and how it's working. I am very laid back with my homeschooling. We use unit studies mostly because they allow us to all work together at the same time. At this point, though, I am just trying to make sure that their math and writing get done! I'll be so glad when this house gets finished!

Feel free to post at will. Take care and have a great day!
