Me and my mom

It has taken me a few days to be able to finish this post. My mom's cancer is back...and now it's in her right lung. She has already lost half of her left lung and this tumor is at least twice the size of the one that was already removed. That's all I know at this point. I will update as I can.

It's Back-To-School time again!

We hit the stores hard on Saturday; Old Navy, Kohl's, Penny's and Journeyz.... Gabbi and Maddi finished their shopping in one day....Cassi, however, wanted to hit up Wal-Mart on Sunday. Needless to say, after 7 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday, I don't care to see the inside of ANY store for a long time! I'm so glad that part is over now. All 3 girls have all of their clothing, shoes, and supplies for the start of the school year. All that's left is registration, which we are doing at 1 p.m. today.

Here are some of the outfits they got:

Trix in her favorite outfit from Old Navy

Lou rockin' her new duds from Kohl's

Meesta in my favorite outfit from Penny's

Where has the summer gone?

I can't believe that school will be starting in less than a month! I am so not ready yet! I mean, I'm ready for the girls to go back...just not me. :) 

I will be taking 4 classes again; Math, Public Speaking, Intro to Social Psych, and Sociology of Relationships and the Family. Schedule is a bit weird this time...2 days a week I will have to pick up all of the girls and bring them home before heading out to class again. I hope it will work out. I know Cassi doesn't really want to babysit for her sisters, but unless she's willing to foot the daycare bill... that is exactly what she will be doing. Although I will be compensating her a little bit.

We finally got the central air installed last week...AHHH! The next phase of home improvements will be painting Gabbi & Maddi's room....if they ever decide what colors and how they want it done. There will be a section done in "chalkboard" paint....I think the will really like that. Kitchen project will begin in February, as that is going to be a total remodel. The only thing staying will be the fridge. 

On a side note, Gabbi's writing workshop has been going great. Look for her article to be published in the August 10th edition of the JG, in the Fred Page section. 

Maddi and Gabbi finally realized that I have a webcam....
