Why have I waited this long to start my own blog... what's up with that?

I am not sure why I never thought to start my own blog to keep family and friends updated, maybe I never had the time???
Who knows, but here I am, so let's see what I have to "blog" about:)

Two of my kids are back in school, Josh just started 7th grade and Bella started 2nd. Of course thanks to the idiocies going on in Wake county, they denied my request yet again to move Bella back to West Lake Elementary. The school right NEXT to Josh's Middle School... but God forbid the Wake County Growth and Planning Office should do anything that makes sense..
So, she will spend another year at Ballentine and undoubtedly complain to me how she is bored. West Lake Elementary's curriculum was and still is light years ahead of Ballentine.. but that is probably food for another blog entry :)

Kelcey won't start school until August 25th, she is working at her daddy's firm three days a week and hates every moment of it. Dad's comment "but it's a great job, you are inside doing office work, you are in air conditioning" doesn't seem to make much difference. She wants to work as a camp counselor with handicapped children next year, we'll see if Daddy's words will come back to her then.

The summer is almost over and it went by way too fast yet again. I am a little anxious about this new school year and all it's challenges, but we are ready. Bring it on!
