Blowing the lid off this box I call, life

October has been a BIG month for me. At the beginning of the month I took a trip to see Kateri and JJ and ventured into the wild, blue yonder of PA. I was SO anxious about the trip and the driving into places unknown. But I did it (successfully, I might add) and it was a good trip. As the month has progressed, I’ve gotten my site up and running (with help) and have managed to keep 7 kids busy and alive while San Diego had the largest evacuation in U.S. history. I’ve even relaxed enough about the housekeeping to be comfortable with people staying with us, even though the house looked perfectly, “lived-in”. And now, for the crowning jewel; I am leaving tomorrow morning for an exciting adventure to finish up my website and get my podcast running. Two months ago I wouldn’t have dreamed I would be taking something like this on. The blogging and the family website made me perfectly happy and the great comments I’ve received from all of you made it even better! But now, I want to share “mommy” stories and experiences and the things that have happened because of being a military spouse. I’m so fortunate to have people who are willing to help me get the whole thing going! A wonderful friend and neighbor is willing to get up early in the morning to drive me to the airport. My sister took time off to come watch the kids for the day (because Clay is out to sea) and on and on. So, pray for a safe and fruitful trip and that the kids do well with Maggie. My list of ideas for her to keep the kids busy include; playdough (but only a couple of colors ), baking cookies, movie watching and writing letters to JJ and Kateri. Let’s hope that helps.
I’ll let you know how it all goes.
Have a good night~
