school tomorrow

ok, so forgive me for the lack of photos. I have been up here now for more than three weeks, I am doing all right. Really besides missing Paul like crazy and a few quirks from my lifestyle, I am great. Alona starts school tomorrow! It is only like an hour orientation, where of course I will have to take the younger children. And then some time in the week after she will have testing and go back the next Thursday or Friday for regular school, which is only like 2 or 3 hours, so not that much. And the school that she goes to will be right up the road. We are not living on a busy road! Grandma and I went and got Alona's school things. Grandma took her clothes shopping last Saturday just the two of them, went out to lunch and everything, how fun! Abbi's feet are growing! Alona's too, I went to go and get Alona some new shoes , she was growing and she was getting new ones too. Lo and behold Abbi needed new shoes too! So she got new shoes and now I realize that she needs new church shoes! Paul and I both have cell phones now and got rid of our home phone, if you would like thatm just leave a message/with a way to contact you and I'll get that to you. Kacen is getting big, he says so much more, talks in phrases, he can say his name! He loves cars and especially motorcycles! Abbi learned how to do squares, how to draw them! Its awesome. I ran in to an old friend at a restaurant last weekend that I knew from the sixth grade and went to the park yesterday with her and hung out. Our girls really got along. She has an older boy though so he was a little out of place. Paul's birthday is on Wednesday, My husband will be 27! Next weekend he will come down, maybe for four days?!! Ok, well I need to go outside with my kids, I'll write more when I can!

ok, so I am alive! I have very limited access to the computer right now. I am at my in-laws using it! I am currently staying with my sister. No me and Paul are not having any type of marital problems like my family is asking or other people are assuming. Seriously what I am saying is the truth, Paul has four months left of school, I have not had much help in two years, Paul's sleeping/working/school schedule is horrible and our neighbors are not there for me. I am down here with family until he finishes to have help and support from others and this is how I have chosen to do it instead of going literally nuts. I am grateful for my family that is here and helping even if they don't understand me. I wish that kids didn't have to be dragged here with me and what not, but they will have a healthier, happier mommy.
