All the children are back in school, they seem to like it. I still wish I was homeschooling C, C is doing very well in school. T already is having problems. E is enjoying volleyball. K likes Jr high.

School Started today for all the five children. It was kinda emotional day for me, all the children went to public school. I fell lost, my calendar was empty and I had nothing to look after. I start to download some stuff for my class. I ordered my books yesterday.
I also got my teaching license yesterday.
C was very excited about school and he had a great first day at public school.
T was very happy that he and C were in the same class and they get to set next to each other
K had her first day of jr. high and had a very good day.
M had his first day of first grade(for the second year) and had a good first day, kinda shy.

What a weekend and then some
I had a good time at my conference I learned a lot and met some new friends.
Our time in Fargo was nice and relaxing. We had some good family time.
The children and I left Fargo about 2:00 Monday afternoon. The children were relaxing and I was just driving along planning want I needed to do when I get home and for next few days.
NOW Comes the the really really bad part.
We were about 10 miles out of Valley City and the van started making some noise and it kept getting louder and louder. So I tell E to call her dad. Meanwhile I an looking for a safe place to get off the road, not be able to find a real good place I pull over on the shoulder of the road, still trying to find a safer place. We drive a few yards and the van stops running and I step on the brake but the van doesn't seem to want to stop, so I put it in park. When I get the van to stop, there smoke coming out from under the hood of the van. Now I know we are in big trouble.
We finally get a hold of my DH and he arranges for a truck to come to troll us and my DH says he will be there as soon as he can .(he is still in Fargo working).
To make a long story short, Two hour after I get the van stop and T not handling it well. The troll truck and my DH get there.
We take the van into Jamestown and find out that the engine it shot. So we can not get all the children and us parents in the car. We decide that we will have to junk the van, because it will cost way to much to fix our old and high miles van. We decide are going to need help getting us all back home. We have to call my sister and she gets my father minivan and come to help get us. Now that it is getting later my sister takes T,M,K and me to her house and will take us home Tuesday after she gets done at work.
Tuesday DH takes care of getting the van junked, he had to go back to Jamestown to do this. My sister bring us home after work , so now we are all home.
Now we start the next chapter of this mess , we need a new van. Now we don't have any that all seven of can fit in to go any where. We need a new van.

The life we live here
I have been busy with clean the house, wash clothes, and getting thing ready for school.
Nothing to exciting.
Sunday afternoon C,T,and I went to Bismarck ,T had an appt. with one of his doctor. My sister trim my hair, I am trying grow it out so I can donate my hair to Lock Of Love. We think next spring or early summer I will have enough to donate. Monday after T appt. we visited my parents before we came home.
Today my DH and I registered the children for school. Them he had to go to Bismarck for a meeting and get the last boxes from storage. He brought some boxes that had toys in it. The children went through it take just a few toys and the rest will go to a second hand store. There were three big boxes and I did not want anymore toys so just a few toys was a good chose for them.
Tomorrow we had Bible School 9-4, they are happy to go, it sound like a lot of fun. E and I are going help with it.
Friday I am going to a "Family Leadership Institute" and I will be there until Sunday about noon. I am excited to go. I will be going by myself and I am not sure if there will be anyone that I know. It will be nice to get away , without my children or husband.
Sunday I will meet up the family and go to Fargo and spent the night. My DH has to do some work there. The Children and I will come home on Monday and he will come Tuesday. On the way the children and I will stop in Bismarck to visit my dad, it is his birthday Monday.
Next Tuesday E will start Volleyball and Thursday the children start school. It will be nice, but I will miss them. This will be the first time I will not have a child home with me. I don't know how I feel about this, I am kinda sad.

A busy day
This morning I took the boys to their pizza party, they each got a soccer ball. After that the girls and I went to Minot to do some shopping and have some much needed girl time. When we were at Wal-mart I ran into a friend that I have not seen in a while. It was strange to see because she does not even live in Minot. When we got home and unpacked all the stuff, my DH,T,C and I went to the church rummage sale. We got an like new microwave, our is on it's last leg. When we got back we had supper and then K and I went the grocery store.
Tomorrow we have to clean the yard from the storm and my DH has to fix some windows

Stuff
T lab test came back fine. I stop take the new med and I am feeling better.
My DH had to go out of town again until late tomorrow.
I got to harvest veg from my garden today and I am so proud of my garden, this is the first garden that I got to grow. My parent's always had a garden, but this year they did not plant one. My dad is busy taking care of my mother. I would like to be able to give them some of the thing I get from the garden.
Tomorrow the boys are done with summer school, there is only three weeks until the new school year starts.
Friday and Saturday we will be helping with a rummage sale at the church. The rummage sale is a fundraiser for the middles and high school of the church
