Whew that felt good. No reason for it other than some times you just need to yell FUCK!

This year has flown by, I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, all the years are flying by. For some inane reason I had the notion that this year would be better than the last, ummm not so much. But that's okay we are weathering through it, alive, clothed, fed, and sheltered. What more can you really ask for?

I think blogging has gone the way of the dodo bird, now that we have Facebook and Twitter, where we can let everyone know just how cool and eccentric we are in about a minute. With the added benefit of not having to speak face-to-face with anyone, ever. How convenient that we never have to personally interact socially if we don't want to, while maintaining numerous relationships, sometimes with people we don't even know? Interesting world we live in, and then we wonder why the world is the way it is. Why bad shit happens, why the government can trample all of our rights, and nobody does a goddamn thing, myself included. Maybe it's because we are all wrapped up in ourselves, narcissistically believing that the only world out there is the one we live in, inside of our heads? If it's not directly affecting me and mine why should I care?

Well on to happier shit, like butterflies and bumblebees.

Life here in the Nichols household has been interesting to say the least, nothing I'm going to place here in my little blog. If you really know me then you are probably aware of all that is going down in my neck of the woods, and if you don't know what's happening well then you don't really know me do you?

Oooh, sorry I said happier didn't I? This is turning into rambling sort of like my answering machine messages, so let's get on with it, shall we?

Ashton, the giant that he is, turned 16 a few months back (all pictures were wiped when my computer crashed again, damn me for not listening to that smart husband of mine. Apple from here on out.) He is doing well in school, definitely benefitting from having Chad and I home to do school with him. Unfortunately all he really cares about is when he gets to play video games. Trying to inspire him to be more is a hard task indeed, I just keep telling myself that eventually he always catches up.

Kenan, adjusting to the social pressures of entering high school did not do so well the first semester of school, but is currently on track and juggling everything well. We had a nice long talk last night about his eventual jumping out of the nest. I am confident in the strong man he is becoming (most days) and can't wait to see the little bird fly.

Genevieve was taken off her medicine by Chad and I over the summer, her vocabulary jumped leaps and bounds as well as her school work. It makes me wonder how many other kids are being held back just so they will sit still in class? Her teacher is less than enthusiastic about the change, as Evie has turned into a wild hellcat at school, or so I'm led to believe. We told the teacher, basically, suck it up she's not going back on her meds just so she doesn't cause problems in class. I will homeschool her again before that happens.

I know I said I would try to cheer it up a bit, but honestly just not in such a cheery mood today, maybe I'll have some pictures to share next time and they will make up for it. Until then......
