I keep saying I need to update my blog!

Life happens and the blog does not. I just need to post in here what I post on fb. Life is better than it was but it is still kind of stinking. I guess we are just getting used to it. Derick is loving, as much as you can love boot camp, and kicking butt. That makes it all worth it! Olena and I are having a lot of goo quality time together and I am loving that. I don't feel like a bad parent any more. Other than that- chickens are good- brothers are good- school is stressful- and I get to see my man in a couple of weeks. Really can't complain too much! Just counting down the days until he comes home!!!

Just a little bit longer..please, please, please

You know I have been meaning to update about our lives for a long time now. The fact that it is 10:15 at night and I have just finished my 14th 1,000 word essay for my masters class, still need to write Derick his letter, and get ready for tomorrow (which just happens to be one of the biggest IEP meeting days in my teaching career,) means it is just going to have to wait a little bit longer......

yep
