My life in 3 signs or less

RCSE

Well y'all new year new chapter.....CJ is starting homeschooling We have found some serious holes in his education and feel this is the very best way to allow CJ to succeed. He will have the opportunities to learn in a style that suits HIM, advance in subjects that interest HIM and muddle through the requirements of those that don't...lol. Anyone who knows my little man understands he is a bright fun boy that learns in his own way! I think his last principal summed it up very well in one short sentence "School just isn't CJ's thing" Now i know there are those of you who will say "since when is that an option" well simply put, since i am his mother....lol.

Never thought i would be a Head Mistress........a mistress and a Mistress maybe....but scholastically...WOW!!!!

Life moves on

Just a quickpost.....with pictures.




This is a 35 y/o married woman
























This is a 35 y/o divorced woman

Notice.....divorce looks damn good on me - not that I looked to shabby pre-divorce...lol

Newest member of the family - for now.

Meet Zoey -- She is a 9 month old Great Dane. She is my new foster dog. She ROCKS!! Zoey is housebroken, over the chewing stage and is sweet as pie! She has learned our household routine quickly. After a couple days adjustment period she has fit herself into our family very well. Who ever gets this wonderful dog will be VERY lucky.

Status Update

Greets Y'all!!!!!! If only updating here were as easy as on FB...lol. Just touching base with my vast readership....lol

Summer is over and te new school year has begun for my little (not so little any more) man. He has begun his first middle school year at the wonderful learning institution known as

He LOVES it. His first day was great. He has mastered the art of opening a combination locker. They have already had a school function "Back to School Bash" and it was well attended and fun was had by all. Hoping the rest of the year goes as swimmingly.

In other news: my oh so adorable APHA mare turns out not to be who I thought she was. When I purchased her I received "her" registration papers. They said she is a 3 y/o APHA mare....the horse I have is 5-5 1/2 years old. So I do not have registration papers for the mare I own. Luckily it doesn't change the fact she is AWESOME!!!!! Just means no APHA sanctioned shows for us until we can get the paper mess figured out. Speaking of shows we will be doing our first riding show on the 11th of Sept. We are intending to enter the halter class, trail class and the walk/trot class. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Mean while back on the ranch: I have joined the local Roller Derby team

My derby name is Irish Whipsky and I am trying really hard to learn how to do this well. I had never skated prior to this so it is a whole new thing for me. The girls are wonderful and the family atmosphere is a blast. Support your local roller derby team!!!

Hello....is this thing on?

As per usual I have failed to keep posting on here but I will make the effort once again to be a consistent blogger.

What has been happening in my life since I last blogged. Well I am a new grandma. My daughter gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I am headed down to see them next week.. YAY!!! While I am there, I will also meet her significant other, my other daughter's husband and hopefully get to spend a little time with all my girls.

Bubba has completed the 5th grade and will be starting middle school next year. Eeegads, where does the time go. He is still lovin Scouts and will be attending summer camp for the first time this year. Not sure who I am most worried about, him or the adult leaders...lol

My oh so lovely APHA filly is doing FANTASTICALLY. My trainer even thinks she has the potential to qualify for the APHA World Show in 2012. She just keeps getting better and better with each ride. Not only is she improving but I am also. We loped for the first time the other day and let me tell you, she has a lope to die for. Now if I could only remember to steer at the same time...lol. Good thing she is a sweet filly and doesn't take advantage of my nervousness.

Snow

Today i got to play in the snow. I shoveled snow for the first time in my life. It was awesome!!!!! I LOVE SNOW!!!!!! Driving the jeep has been a pleasure. It handles so well in the snow. I am a lucky girl!!!!
