Back to School

Well three out of four kids are back in school. I offically have a high school age child...that means we get the joy of early morning Seminary.I start my new am work shift in two weeks...so I gotta get all the carpool kinks worked out.

Such a busy summer..Lots of time spent at the water park and pool. All my kids can swim...various levels but competent.

I just finished my last class for my TSA associates certificate program...so glad that it is over but it was a very interesting opportunity. The ceremony to recieve the certificate is a big event lots of important people coming to it...gotta look my best but I know I can't lose 50 lbs by then.(oh well)

Alicia gets a few weeks of special mommy & grandma time(Since grandma will be staying with us for the next few months)FUN TIMES!!!

Hopefully I can get a routine in place soon...back to the gym, clean house, laundry done, scrapbooking...and all the other multitude of tasks that vie for my time.

That's it for now...Have a great day.
