I’m still around, really I am
Things have been crazy around here because of my health issues. I get better, then I relapse, then things get better, then I relapse, then I have a procedure to take care of kidney stones, lol, then things stay at “status quo”. I was hoping that would explain my symptoms, but it didn’t. I’ve had a plethora (I just love that word :)!) of tests, and we are no closer to finding an answer to my mysterious illness. It is supremely frustrating and discouraging. 
On another front, David’s hernia repair surgery has been scheduled, which I’m happy about. It’s still not causing him problems or discomfort, so that’s a praise.
I am still in the midst of researching homeschool curriculum for the upcoming year, and am feeling overwhelmed. I don’t think I’d be normal otherwise, right? 
We’re changing in order to honor hubby’s wishes, plus ensuring that the kids are on grade level in case we transition to an international school while we are overseas. And if we do continue to homeschool overseas, I really want an all inclusive program, so I get every single thing I need at one time. “School in a Box”. I can’t depend on the library, etc to supplement my curriculum, or having a store nearby to pick up science project supplies. I’m going to be one of those homeschoolers I used to swear I’d never be….the ones who did school in a box. God really does humble the proud…..
No news on the international move. Hubby’s company is still pursuing the overseas expansion, but we still don’t have a date or location. Meanwhile, we’re in a holding pattern, which is testing me to the limit. If we are going, fine. If we aren’t going, fine. JUST TELL ME!!!!!!! On a postive note, I have been using the possible move as an excuse to do a houswide purge and I have gotten rid of lots of stuff. I still have a l-o-n-g way to go and my momentum has been lost with my health issues, but I am determined to get back on the wagon, as it were. Now that I’ve posted it here, I’ll HAVE to do it, right?
