wow I have been away for a long time I still receive everyone updates through email so I am still keeping up with all.
So what has been going on for the past year hmmm well I decided that it was time to look at my health lat year and do something about it so i joined a diet program called Sure Slim wow what a great program they deal with your weight through your blood work and from that they can see what food your body can handle and digest properly and what foods your body stores as fat. I am a high carb sensitive so breads etc are something i have to be careful of, I also found out that carrots and bananas i do not deal well with.
I started this adventure in the beginning of November and by the middle of January I had lost 30lbs I went from a size 12 to a size 2 a little smaller than I was looking for but I am happy anyways.

Family is doing well they are all growing my oldest daughter is in school for her Medical Office Assistant I can't believe she is 20 already she is so happy that she has done so well in school and graduates in a few weeks.I am so proud of her for holding down 2 jobs and going to school.
My 16 year old son is now learning to drive hubby is taking care of that part until he tells me that he is doing well on the road with traffic I am staying out of the teaching part ( I get a bit stressed) He is also doing well still in his Air Cadet program he will be going away again this summer for a 6 week program to a base in alberta.
My youngest 2 are doing well M who is 11 is growing up way to fast she got a cute haircut recently which makes her look so grown up school is always a struggle for my youngest 2 they are both getting help in all classes so they understand things a bit better. My 9 yr old has the worst time in school he went through so many tests from the government and school board to assess his learning where they found he has a learning disability so I am having to make sure I use my voice for him to get what he needs in the school to help his learning it is very frustrating at times, he is a very quiet little guy and sits and blends in with everyone but a chile that make  noise and gives the teacher trouble will be first in line to get outside help and a teacher assistant. Where is the fairness in that???

This being easter long weekend I am enjoying the time off and am waiting for company to arrive right now my husbands sister and our nephew are coming for the weekend I always enjoy spending time with them. I tried to get a family dinner together for her Birthday but it seems that no one in the family will be coming I am kinda disappointed in that as she does not come out often and it is her Birthday but what can you do.
I will be back again soon in a few days.
Have a great easter everyone

  I have not been ignoring any of you I get all your blogs through e-mail, I just have not had much time to get on the computer and sit down and type. I will come and spend more time here later but a quick update .

Life is very busy with running the daycare, my kids have been keeping me busy (to busy) my son is in the Air Cadets and loves it he is always busy doing something with cadets. My oldest daughter has been living out on her own since the summer seems to be doing very well. The younger two have been busy with school and well just being kids and enjoying life.

I have been having a few health issues but well i am struggling through them. High blood pressure seems to one of them that I am struggling with it keeps jumping up to high and every so often I have been having bad chest pain with it. i try to take it easy but life is very demanding and with my husband working weekends it does not give me a chance to realx totally. The kids usually do not ask him for rides to functions because he never goes out weeknights and rarely likes to go out on the weekends, so mom is up to bat and I find it very tiring having to drive everywhere, i find it hard to relay this to my husband he works all week but so do I and I am tired too.

Well that is all for now I have to start getting ready to take the kids to school and get on with my day.

Hope to update again soon have a great weekend everyone

Well it has been awhile since I have had time to sit and actually post news. I really don't have any news just a very busy house around here. All the kids are settled into there school work , with 4 kids and homework the evenings can get a bit full. Crystal (my oldest 16) is still working at Dairy Queen and trying o get all her school work done to, she recently got another promotion at work she was promoted to crew trainer a few months ago and just the other week she got promoted to Superviser. Crystal is very proud of her new title as well as she should be she worked very hard to get there.
Scott (he is almost 13)is busy with school and has a paper route on tuesday and fridays and he has also joined the Air Cadets he is very excited about this and will be going gliding on November 6 what a great opportunity for him, some of the people in the Air cadets have been telling us that if he sticks with it he could get his pilots license by the time he is 16 and already have a set career flying. Wow is what we say what a great thing for him to look forward to.
Marissa(my little girl of8) is struggling in school with her math and is getting very frustrated i am trying to give her all the help I can but it is hard to spread myself around with 3 that need help in homework.
Adam(youngest 6) is doing very well in school better than the teachers and therapists thought he would be, He is already got one word wall list 100% correct and is printing really good so for adam this is a very big thing, he is still getting speech therapy and getting some extra help from the learning assistant. It is hard for him when people do not understand what he saying he gets very angry and frustrated by the end of the day trying to get his words out.
Hubby has been on alot of evening shifts and has not really been around to help out with homework although that really is not his thing anyway. He is finally back on his regular 2 weeks days and 2 weeks afternoon shift.
Myself I have been very busy with the daycare and trying to keep the house in order, working from 6 am to 6 pm and then trying to get dinner ready and sit and do homework with the kids does not leave me with a whole lot of time on my hands, when I do have a spare hour I am usually running scott to air cadets and taking crystal to work or trying o get the shopping done for groceries. I find myself needing more hours in the day or another pair of hands around here to help with the kids. I am hoping to be able to get back into my aqua fit classes again too but right now I don't see that happening.  . HMM now that halloween is over I have to start thinking about Christmas any one else thinking about that yet??
