Well, Summer will be over soon in Idaho. It's kind of hard to believe. I really have no idea where all our time has gone. We didn't do very much this year. I took the kids to the park as much as I could and tried to get some home projects completed. We took a day trip down to Bear Lake, and I got to see my best friend, Candace. I met a wonderful group of ladies to scrapbook with. They are so great! Some of them are in the book club I joined as well. We have read a couple of really great books so far. I can't wait to crack open the next one. I've been spending a lot of my spare time crafting. It's the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes. Phillip went in for a preschool evaluation three weeks ago. I was expecting to hear from them within a few days, boy was I wrong. Still no word. It's kind of frustrating, but if they don't want him to attend their school then that's their loss. He is a smart, amazing, talented child who would be a beacon in that place.
Mike and I have made the bold, daring decision to quit the workforce and go back to school full time. The timeline is sketchy, but hopefully soon. It's kind of scary because there are a lot of changes that will be happening. I've never put my babies in childcare before. I never even thought it would ever be a possibility. I love them so much, and I love being at home with them, but ultimately this is the best decision for all of us. We both want to pursue a degree in Human Resources. What a change, right?!
I had surgery on my foot in July. It kind of sucked, but my Aunt came out and helped me with the kids for a couple of weeks. It was such a blessing to have her here. I don't go to Alabama to visit my family. I've been one time in the past five years. It was really nice to see her. Now it seems that I will need to have the screws taken out of my foot. My podiatrist says he will give me 45 days to heal, and if there is no reduction in pain or swelling, then they're coming out. I'm not looking forward to this. I took the 45 days, but I know what's going to happen. Luckily it will be much easier on me than the first surgery. I only need to rest for two days and then wear my stupid surgery boot for an additional eight days. I am supposed to be able to take care of everything on my own, and not need any help as long as I wear the boot. Fun!!!...
Well, there's not a lot else going on. If you want to see all the crafts I have been working on then hop on over to thepickyeater2010.blogspot.com
