Been way too long...

In typical fashion, I start something with great intentions and somehow never finish.  Anyone else out there like that?  I have grand plans, I have every intention of completing grand plans and believe I am fully capable of it in a timeframe that to most would think is completely unreasonable.  So it's no big surprise that my follow through isn't always the best.  Thus this blog!

So I thought I would jump on the blog bandwagon a few years ago and share my life.  I used to think I was fairly good at writing (or at least I had one college professor who thought I was) so why not blog like every other person out there.  Well my lack of follow through could be a good reason.  But I vow to change!!  (maybe don't hold me to it?)

I posted very few posts over the past few years but want to change that.  I recently became unemployed so I am in a transition of trying to figure out how to manage my life, my house, my kids, my time, my marriage, my faith and what better way to do it then to blog about it!

What do I know about blogging and writing? Well nothing.  I suppose I should proof read and take time to really think about something amazing to share but honestly I am a Mom to 4 kids and finding 10 minutes to sit and share a post will be nothing short of a miracle so you get what you get from me.  You'll get what comes to mind on the spot and that's about it.   I'll do my best to not have typos but nonetheless you'll get raw honesty since I won't have the time to make it anything else.

Catch up on last 3 years....We moved and we moved and we moved and we moved.  So we moved once after my 3rd son was born and lived in a rental for 2 years then I had the brillant idea (hubby would tell you stupid) to build a house.  So we built a house while I was pregnant with my 4th.  We couldn't get our landlord to extend our lease so we had to live in temporary housing for 7 weeks then with Grandma for 3 weeks and then we moved into our new home when our daughter was 5 days old.  Daughter?  Did I say Daughter?  Yes I no longer am only raising boys but we were surprised with the birth of our Daughter.  Honestly I didn't think we were capable of making girls so I am still in awe that we have her.  She turns 1 the end of this month.  Time flies!


Our Samuel has had another ITP relapse and this time it doesn't want to go away.  He's classified as chronic and we now realize this is something we will have to continue to deal with.  I'll write more on this later.  I think I remember posting a full ITP post a few years ago.  BUT I will add he's amazing and strong and shown so much courage through all it.  I admire him and love him!

Ok my 10 minutes are nearing an end.  I have lots of things up my sleeve though and want to share them on this blog.  Since I can't afford preschool now that I don't have a job I will be homeschooling my soon to be 4 year old.  I need to spend the next couple of weeks working towards preparing for that.  I have no idea where to begin but plan to follow through (pray for me!)

I also need to figure out how to keep our food costs down by shopping smart for groceries.  More planning research coming my way (pray for me!)

On top of that need to work out time management, home management, exercise (what's that?) and overall health of our family unit ---oh and can't forget cultivating my marriage too (pray for me!)

I'll pray for you if you pray for me.... lots to do.
