Hello everyone! I'm completely new to blogging but have been so moved by others on blogspot that I wanted to share.
It's late (or early depending on your viewpoint) and Monday will be a snow day for the kids. It's the first good snow we've had in a couple of years here in NC. I'm anticipating having a hard time keeping at least one of my kids out of the cold and snow. My youngest had the flu last week and is still coughing. She won't be spending as much time out in it as she thinks!
I guess I should start with a bit about the family. My name is Nancy. I am married with three glorious children who thrive on driving me crazy. It's a short trip. My husband is a former police officer who has spent the last two years working in Afghanistan. It's been hard without him at home but it was something he felt called to do. I work part-time at Davidson College. I need to routine of someplace to go and something to do or I would lay in bed all day. The busier I keep myself the more I get done. I am battling breast cancer at the moment but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Just call me baldy.
The kids. Our oldest is almost 17 and challenging. He seems to be on the 20 year plan to teenage maturity and that's OK but at some point the ducks gonna get pushed outta his nest and I hope he's ready for it. Next, we have a son who just turned 14. If you picture a slightly demented squirrel hopped up on caffeine but stopping for hugs on his tear around the room - that's him. He's really come out of his shell this year. Finally, we have a daughter who is just a joy. She was born with Spina Bifida and has a few orthopedic problems but nothing holds her back.
I'll be posting more each day as events change and I feel the need to share in order to maintain the brain.
