Blog Slacker!

Well, since I am now a Facebook addict, I have really slacked on this blog. I use FB as my blog, but I am going to try and keep this one alive, well on life support anyway. There is much to update, kind of like me starting to scrapbook (and as my friend S.Hill says, "crapbook"), it is daunting when you start, where do you start, beginning, end....work back from today....who knows. I think I will start with today. Good.

So, I am sitting in my new living room in Tracy, CA. We moved here about three weeks ago for Ted's job. It is going O.K. so far. Mostly just moving in work right now. The house is adorable, the neighborhood OK. The kids have made some friends right off the bat, which is wonderful. I am actually enjoying the challenge of squeezing 3884 sqft of stuff into 2052 sqft. Our motto for the year, "Living with less and having more." I didn't make that up, I think it is a book or something.

Anyway, I am a little depressed. I miss my friends and family, and I miss my cul-de-sac. I miss our pool, I miss.....well lots of things. I really miss my job. Yes, that was an entire year of missed blogging. My last entry was that I was going to get a job, and I did. Two actually. I loved them both!!! I am not working now, well, you know what I mean. I am at home the the kids. It is nice sometimes, but definitely not my thing anymore, especially since last year of working. I will look again in January 2012. My "job" is to get this family settled into CA, school, dr's, dentists, orthodontists,....all that crap. Plus, the twins have one more year home before Kindergarten. Sooo, I think I am going to homeschool prek for them. It is crazy expensive to send both of them. They are pretty smart anyway.

We have a dog now, Shadow. He is a rescue pup, some kind of black lab/pit mix. We are enjoying him a lot, except when he pees on us. He does that a lot when he is excited.
