Where to begin?

The days fly by and sometimes I don't take the time to blog.

Homeschooling is just part of it; caring for Preston; trying to make some $ by selling on the internet; keeping up a house; sleeping when I can; making Christmas gifts as an alternative to buying them because of lack of $, need I say more? My life is full and by early evening I feel so exhausted. Then to top it all off, Preston has been having trouble getting to sleep. I wait to be sure he is asleep before I can go to bed; but one good thing is he does sleep late in a.m. and I couldn't survive if he didn't. One night he was awake most of the night and tried to wake us up and couldn't; so I have to know that he is asleep before I can relax and go to bed. At 2:30 Sun a.m. he did get me awake by blowing his whistle. Thank the Lord I heard it. I guess I need a baby monitor again; I am just afraid every time he moved I would hear it. I just cannot function without sleep. I know part of it is my age, my fibromyalgia, just the wear and tear on my body with having a sick child, etc.

On another note, I called to see about getting 100 gal. of propane for our gas tank to heat with. We do not have natural gas here, but propane. I said to the lady that it probably had gone up and she said yes, it had. I wasn't prepared for the total she gave me for just 100 gal! $323 and some odd cents!!! It blew me away. I thought it might be cheaper to get a kerosene heater and use it, but guess what? Kerosene is higher per gallon than gas, so we are hoping 100 gal. will last a looonggg time!

I made a loaf of cheese bread today in the breadmaker. It was loved by all at supper tonight. I really like having a breadmaker; as you throw everything in there and it does the work. I got it for $2.50 at Salvation Army!

So not much more to say this time. Try to check back in later in the week, Lord willing.
