...been awhile!

I started this blog a few months ago with the intent to keep posting, and one thing after another has come up :( So, I will fill you in on what's been happening. In a nutshell, my mother has been in and out of the hospital and rehab since Thanksgiving, and most recently over 4th July weekend. We have been doing home repairs to the roof and one section of the living room, which we are converting into a classroom. We are now into the school year with homeschooling (our school name is the AuBuchon School for the Incredibly Intelligent).

We did manage to go to the beach this summer, and had a blast with Catholic Engaged Encounter. I've also been doing some genealogy work for some clients, and now I am waiting for the several potential clients to send their payments so I can get started on their project.

All in all we have had a good summer, but I feel like I am being pulled in all sorts of directions. I love everybody in my family, and everything that I do, but my body is telling me to keep things simple. I SOOOOOO desperately need a day of scrapbooking. ;P

About Me

As a 40 something year old SAHM, I have all kinds of excitement and frustrations, not to mention the general craziness of life with DH, 2DS, a dog, a cat, 2 birds, and my mother. All in one house. On top of all of this, my DC are homeschooled, and DS9 is on a special diet. Let's just say that our life has never been normal, but you know what? I like not being normal.

So, here is a little more about me. I love genealogy and scrapbooking. DH and I volunteer with a marriage prep ministry, plus I also help with several non-profit organizations.

I'm still new to this blog thing, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. :o)
