long time no post

long busy summer.

no time for blogging.

who ever thought that de-cluttering a house would be easy. I think it is easy for the people who are already neat. But those of us who really need to de-clutter make a larger mess in the process.

let's see since May:

Alex returned from India (8/1); left for K-zoo

Mom visited; having eye surgery and will be here until December.

Ex-husband gave up most of his time with the kids in July and August. his wife returned from N.M. for two months and is now headed back to NM.

Josh applied to college.

Both little kids had a birthday. LEarned to ride a bike and read. They both attended summer school.

and we got two water frogs and an Italian Greyhound named LeFeviere. I have no idea what it means, but the kids love saying it. I think it either means, I'm on fire or I'm all fired up. But it's a cute little rat dog.
