Love this photo

    OK I love this photo!! SO cute and my new saying over the holidays when the desserts are just calling my name!

    Well we are officially on Xmas break as of yesterday, well I should say the boys are! I still have some reading to catch up on for my homeschool literature site, and varies other little tweaks to make in our schedule for the new year! On top of all of that I am still moving forward on staging the house to sell within a couple of months. ALL the boys in the house are groaning about that one! It means good-bye to endless Lego battles that are all over the floor in the playroom and back to the bare minimum on "things" out at one time! BUT those are worries for after the holiday, I am going to try and relax today..... well maybe try and organize the bookshelves one more time. Just so when the realtors come thru to tell me what needs to be done I can say ummmm all the books that I can do without is up!! LOL and that still leaves us with 6 bookcases filled! Just wanted to say Merry Christmas, Happy Winter Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays to all the ones  I forgot or can't spell. LOL

Well another week has come and gone!

What's that saying my mom always said when I was wishing for things as a kid? "If wishing were horses we'd all have a ride.." Well I am wishing for a week, NOT like the last couple!! Household fixing up that NEVER ends, car in the shop, having to ask about school work for the millionth time,running the boys around( for classes,appointments& volunteering) and oh yea NOT sleeping worth a darn made for a week from HELL! This week again is slotted to be another busy one but hoping for a relaxing weekend with my mama this coming weekend:)
Things on the "to do" list include finding an online writing program for Alex, getting ready for an exciting online book release party on my other site(more on this soon!) , getting starting on the next literature book for Anthony, getting the car back from the shop, hopefully getting the home improvements DONE (for a while) and starting to relax a bit as we head into the holiday season. Its going to be a hard one this year especially Thanksgiving, because last year my beloved Grandma Simmons was here to still chat about how she makes this and that, all the kiddos that are coming to her house, and stories of her childhood holidays. But the "show" must go on.....
