School starts in Omaha

School has started already in Omaha. I am not excited about it starting so early. However, Kaitlin was ready. Carmen and she were beginning to get on each other's nerves. Kaitlin loves her teacher and is excited that she is now a "grader" (in first Grade) not just in kindergarten.

Carmen wants to go too. I had decided to keep her with me for awhile longer but maybe I need to reconsider....

Munchkin Junction

All I have been doing lately is preparing for a consignment sale and volunteering for it...Oh, and taking care of my family in the meantime. I don't know how people work full time and take care of a family. I feel so blessed to be able to stay home with my children. I realize more, this week, what a blessing that is because I have been doing this sale and my Sister-in-law has been taking care of my kids more. Here's the URP to the sale:

You'll have to cut and paste it to see it.

I have been reading a lot lately and some of the books have made me really think. Kite Runner is one of these books and so is Pavilion of Women by Pearl S. Buck. Kite Runner has been eye opening and a reminder of the fact that there is real misery in the world. Pavilion of Women is interesting because it reminded me how to really love others.
