The boys start school on Friday. Where has this summer gone? I am both sad and happy. Happy because I really think I am losing my mind trying to entertain the zoo. Sad because we have been lazy and as stress free as we can be. Sad because I am not at all thrilled at sending them to a new school, especially a county school. Call me a snob, and I am sure some of you do, but these just don't look that great. I am praying that things will go well. That the boys will make friends, that the transition won't be so bad, that they will not fall behind, and that the educators will be able to reach them.
Dear Caitlyn is another story all together. This year is supposed to be her 1st year in pre-k. I have her registered at the one Matthew attended in Murfreesboro. I am going to try and get her enrolled in Manchester, if I can find one. I am also praying that they will have room for her. Enrollment is typically in March for the upcoming fall. If this all crashes through then I have to decided if I can and would be willing to drive her to the 'boro twice a week. That will also depend on the boys' hours of school. I guess all these questions and more will be answered soon. Registration is tomorrow.
OK, this is going to be confusing so try and bare with me. We used to live on Penny Lane. Then we moved to the house on Westbrook, which is directly behind the 1st house. It took a bit of getting used to looking at the back of your old house from the deck of the new house...just a side note. Anyway, both houses were destroyed in the tornado. The man that is rebuilding the Penny house also bought the lot that the Westbrook house was on. He then moved the frame of the Penny house to the Westbrook lot and re-modeled the house. We LOVED that house and were sad to move, but then we really felt at home in the Westbrook house. So here is my dilemma, we were offered to rent or buy that house. I really want to. I keep dreaming of that house, where we could put things, how nice it would be to be 'back'. We could probably do it. Maybe a lease purchase? But...We still are in no condition to move. We have 'stuff' still in the garage. The logistics of packing it all would blown my mind away, because there would be no organization. I am so sick of moving. I also don't want to keep moving the kids from school to school. So, I guess that I know the answer, I don't like the answer. I am praying that the house will not sell and that in a year we can move into it. That would give us time to save some money, the kids would finish out the school year and maybe we could have the van paid off (Finally!).
This is why I am not sleeping at night, that and Ben has been up with nightmares and Cait keeps trying to come into bed with us at 3 am. I haven't slept through the night in about a month between the 2 of them. Thank you, Matt, for being a good sleeper! I have become a walking zombie.
So you may be wondering about the title, and some of you have given up reading this because I am rambling. It has been raining quite a bit lately and that means that we have had a TON of frogs! The other night we were driving by both of the schools to check them out. On the way home the frogs were all over the road. At first I thought they were leaves. Spencer was trying to miss them and we were swerving all over the road. It was just like a game of reverse frogger...

It is against the law of physics for Spence to miss an animal in the road. I don't know why, it just is. As far as the other issue, we'll keep ya'll in our prayers that you'll receive the right answer. The thing about county schools and rural schools is that they're small and that can be an advantage.
If I had $20,000 I'd give it to you so you could get into that house. Alas, I don't. Hang in there. Things will get better soon.
