It’s a New Year!
I’ve really neglected this blog, so to bring it up to speed, I’m going to make this a quick ”bullet point post.”
- Lonnie’s still “stable” — he goes in for his regular testing tomorrow (blood, etc.). He’s been doing some travelling, and I’m worried that the stress of his job and the sales trips might wear him down. He’s a strong guy, though.
- I’m having fun learning a few different things all at once: copywriting, html, css, and JavaScript. I’m also in the process of figuring out how to switch one of my websites, http://www.homeschoolinganyway.com, over to a WordPress.org blog.
- I have a private label rights (PLR) article site. Still writing articles and trying to really get it off the ground. I have made several sales already, so that’s encouraging.
- The kids are doing well in their online schools. It’s such a new thing, so there are some frustrations, such as not having face-t0-face contact with their teachers, and confusion over how their points are tallied (and how those points affect their grades). They do like that they still have the freedom, time-wise, that they had when homeschooling.
- Bethany is almost potty trained. She now mostly shuns her little potty for the big one, and hasn’t fallen in yet. She still does her #2 business in her pull-ups…so that’s the final potty training hurdle that we need to get over. She’s growing up…can’t stop it, I guess. Sometimes her face still has that “baby look” — and I hope she doesn’t lose that too soon. She’ll be three on Valentine’s Day. Decorating for her parties is always easy (hearts!).
- Lonnie and the boys are watching the Super Bowl. Rooting for Kurt Warner and the Cardinals, of course. (Duh!) Rooting for the Steelers (ahem…Stealers…) is not an option in this house.
- We’re hoping to turn our garage into a couple of bedrooms this summer. This house is getting just too small for all of us. It would be nice to move to something bigger, but…well, we’ll see.
- Kiki is still kicking. She’s our old lady cat who’ll be 18 this spring. Old as she is, she has some trouble eating hard food, but loves getting her little bowl of milk and her canned food. Chico, our 4 year-old cat, likes to chase her around the living room, and it’s probably those daily rumbles that’s keeping her young.
