So what have I been up to and why have I not had time to blog? I am finally back into the working world and much happier too. I think that I thrive in this caotic enviornment I guess...lol. The hustle and bustle of crazy mornings followed by a full day of work and back to the hustle and bustle of the evenings just seem to be who I am. Unfortunately, I need to find a routine to get back to blogging because it seems to have taken a back burner to everything else.
The kids are settling into their schools. Larissa is working harder than I have ever seen her work and I am so proud of her. Nathan has been working harder too. CJ is adjusting to being at school all day long without a nap. He has come home and crashed several times. I am loving my new job and having two incomes again is making life much easier on us. We are setting a plan into action now on how to save and what we can pay off. Life is good right now and I need to keep that in persepective.
Of course I am missing North Carolina too. I miss my wonderful friends that we made there that are like family to us. I miss our home. The home that we were finally going to purchase and call our own. The home that CJ would remember growing up in. It's a little hard to swallow that all that has changed but everything happens for a reason and I know that.
Jose's mom is doing well...as well as can be expected. She has been doing her chemo and she is soon getting ready to do the bone marrow transplant. She has held up really well up until now. She is a strong woman. I pray she continues to have the strength she needs to get through this.
Last night I spent some much needed time talking to God. I had to let him know how much I was thankful for everything that we have. We are truly blessed. I am truly blessed. I have three amazing children who are healthy and smart. I have the most amazing man in my life who is my soul mate in every sense of the word. We share dreams and desires. We respect each other. Everything else will just fall into place. Thank you God for making all this possible.

The 1st Day of School
The summer seems to have gone on forever with me, especially since the 1st day of school was postponed a whole week thanks to Hurricane Irene. The kids all started school this Tuesday though. They are all enjoying school.
Larissa was the first one out the door. She was nervous but excited. It is her senior year and she is starting in a new school with all new kids. This is going to be a tough year for her but I think that she is ready to embrace it. She has had homework both days already but it's going well.
Nathan was next to go out the door. He didn't tell me but I got the feeling that he was actually more nervous than usual and I am not quite sure what the reason was for it. Yesterday we sat and talked and he has made several friends already, he likes his locker, likes his teachers and likes his seats. That was great news to hear from a 13 year old boy. I think that this might be a great year for him. It is going to be a hard year for him as well. He is starting out behind so I need to keep him on track.
Here was CJ ready for school. He was super excited. He got up, got dressed, had breakfast, let me do his hair, watched tv and couldn't stand counting down the minutes for when he would be able to take his first trip on the school bus like he has watched his sister and brother do many times in the past.
He got on the school bus without a long usual goodbye but once the bus started to move, I caught a glimpse of fear. I talked to him when he got home and he said that he was a little sad that he had to go on the bus without me but he is all over that now...lol. He loves going to school. Here is the picture I took after he was on the school bus with his head peeking out.
Larissa was the first one home since she was the first one out and she was so excited to go get CJ from the bus stop. She was the most traumatized with CJ starting school. She kept saying that he was too young and that he was too small to go on the bus by himself. She forgets that she was much smaller than him when she started. It's the over protective sister in her...lol. Here she is after coming back from the bus stop with him.
