Been Awhile

Working on a set of eyeballs this week. Bringing them to the front of the head, to be exact. So if you try to call and I don't answer, blame it on the eyes. I imagine they take a lot of hormones. Hormones make me sick. Literally.

Baby number four is due in August. My last baby was born in August. My first two were both born in May. I like patterns.

Still homeschooling. The CD that we learn our history from was playing in the van today and I realized I was the only one singing along. Loudly. I rationalized that I'm a better teacher if I really know the material.

A couple of weeks ago there was a tornado about sixty miles west of where I grew up. Still have connections with Hattiesburg and was relieved to see that there were no deaths associated with the severe weather. At least not that I've heard.

Been in Tuscaloosa almost three years now. I think I almost like it here now. It has been a pretty rough transition for me but I am warming up to being an Alabamian. Not the "Roll Tide" football crazy type. NO WAY. At least, not yet. But the "Hey, Mississippi and Alabama are very alike, and Alabama might have better state parks, and Tuscaloosa has a Super Target and our church family is pretty nice and maybe homeschool moms aren't as weird as I thought they were" type.

Aaaaaand we are going to have four kids. Still kind of in shock that we are doing this. Still feel like I'm twelve sometimes and someone will come in and catch me teaching Andrew to blend letters and tell me I'm not doing it what we like to call the Right Way.

Glad to see you back on. :) I liked your eyeball excuse. Glad Tuscaloosa is feeling like home.

Love your line about being an Alabamian. It's like song lyrics:

I'm an Alabamian;
Hey hey hey
Mississippi and Alabama are very alike
'Bama has better state parks
and Tuscaloosa has a Super Tar-get
Church family's pretty nice
And...maybe homeschool moms aren't as weird as I thought they were
Yeah, singin' to the tunes on the history CD
Even if it's noboby but me
Hey hey hey
I'm an Alabamian

Love your blog. :) -- from your sister Sarah
