Time Flies

No such thing as "extra" time, lol. Whew! So it's been nearly two full months since I have blogged or updated a website besides my son's (who's on a mission) and my in-law (also on a mission). HotStuff has been posting some on our family site, but I haven't even looked at it for ages - sigh.

Someone on the homeschool board decided I was the Chairman for homeschool graduation. I just kept reminding them that I'm the Co-Chair, "I only do the computer stuff!" And process all the registrations, and arrange the program, and field all the phone call of questions from graduates and their families... At last it's over. The program went well aside from our convocational speaker showing up 1/2 an hour late - we had to do some quick shuffling there. I think the graduates enjoyed it and the parents seemed to also. Next year Horseshoe will be graduating - how time flies!

We are taking care of two of my brother's kids for several days, so for the moment, I'm back to eight people at home. Crazy. Insane. Back to 6 kids... May I just say, "Kids take a lot of time! and energy!" It has been fun to have them and get to know them better, but I don't know how I would have managed this without my older kids pitching in so much. We've gone hiking, and swimming, and hiking, and shopping... Today it's raining - maybe they can go to a movie.

My car was totaled about a month ago. Junebug accidentally drove into a nasty, deep, gutter-ditch. Broke the axle, twitsted the frame, and deployed the airbags. No one was hurt, thankfully, but not having a car has definitely complicated life. We finally got it replaced yesterday - YEA! I have a car!!!
