MOVED!

Just when I think I have figured out all there is to know about blogging I can't seem to figure out how to write a new post. For some reason I have two sign in names? So now I know how to sign in two different ways, and I also know which sign in name allows me to write a new post. Both allow me to comment on all of your sites.

Anyway, we made it to Baton Rouge! We have been very busy looking at houses and getting estimates on the work that needs to be done on the one we really want. It needs a lot of up-dating including central air and heat, complete re-wiring, and a new roof. We also need to make plumbing repairs and modifications in the bathrooms and the kitchen, but everything else is just aesthetic, personal things we want to do. I will be happy once we close on the house and we can start the major work and finally move in! I will keep you all posted during the progress! One of the nicest things about the house is that it is right next to a great running trail and a super Wal-Mart!

Next in line is finding a school for my son. Now, in Baton Rouge the public schools are known to be not very good. However, we always intended our son to go to a Catholic school so it never mattered. We found the parish in which is closest to us and actually like the schools curriculum. There is an open house on Feb. 1st. I hope we like the school and that William meets the requirementsJ

I also want to sign William up for tee-ball and maybe my husband and I will be able to coach the team. There are also basketball leagues that I can join at the YMCA! That makes me very excited.

I’m also very excited about spending weekends in New Orleans when my ex comes to visit William. The first weekend will be Feb. 9th. It will be great for my husband and I to spend sometime together. We need it, We deserve it!

Once everything settles down a little we will start the foster adopt process. I figure it will take a while for it to be completed so we will have everything in order when we are placed with our child.

In the meanwhile I will be teaching William at home for the rest of the year. I brought all of the rest of the curriculum for the year from my class so that he will continue to learnJ I am glad that he and I will get to spend so much time together.

On a fertility note, I am day 8 and Big Bertha is showing an increase in fertility. WE will continue trying!

Glad to hear from you Robin! You got me worried. So that's what's keeping you busy! Sounds like a nice neighborhood. I agree, I'm sold with having Wal-Mart and running trail nearby! Good luck on settling down and your upcoming renovations. Looks like you'll be busy.

Yes! Definately homeschool before trying the baton rouge school system! Where did you find a house at? Superwalmart narrowed it somewhat, but still have no clue!
