its been too long...

well its been along time since i have posted anything.. I apologize, but just got busy with life...  my oldest son, who is now 17yrs old has decided he wants to just get his GED.. so we are working towards that..  He is also thinking of going to Job Corps, which i thing will be good for him and he will enjoy it as well.. He hasn't made up his mind yet so we will see..

My youngest has turned 5 now and we are working at preparing him for some kindergarten learning.. I am not really rushing anything because i feel there is plenty of time for that.. He will NOT be going to public school.. I will homeschool him. I am very excited about this adventure me and him will go on together. :o)  I am not totally sure if i will use a formal curriculum or just take it slower and do something myself.. if i do choose to use a curriculum i have decided to use My Father's World ... it is a great Christian based program!!  I am hoping to be able to purchase a copy from someone who is done with theirs.

A couple of weeks ago, I have decided to learn to eat more healthy and get mor active.. I really am looking to lose some weight and generally become more healthy.. its been hard.. I am still learning about healthy food choices and recipes that i can cook for the family that are quick simple and cheap and HEALTHY.. I have been walking alomst 2 miles 5 days a week and it feels great to get out and about..  I am really hoping to get a car soon and then i will be able to broaden my walking choices.. right now i am pretty limited to walking just here in town.. I would love to go to some pretty walking trails and take the family and go for a nice walk.. I think the variety would help.  I have been using the website SparkPeople its a great site with lots of information and tools and its all free...

Wish me luck!!
