And Now Back to Our Regular Blogging :)

I posted really quick last night about how happy I was to be home. Dh came upstairs later and said, after looking at me and the kids, "We are all back into our routines!" How true!

I am trying to keep my sleeping normal so that requires me to get up early with my hubby and to go to bed when he does. It is tremendously helpful! And I actually get some things done in those hours in the morning. It's a nice time to myself. I have a long to do list for today- I feel that there is so much to do and I'm not sure it'll all happen today. I have two book reviews to do: Sir Quinlan and the Swords of Valor and Nelson's Biblical Cyclopedic Index. The trick will be to not give away the good parts in the first book but to include enough info for the second!

Something that has been on my mind since before we took our Christmas vacation has to do with dh's job. He was solicited to apply for a position that is open. We usually move about every two years so this really wasn't too big of a shock. Perhaps the 'shock' came from the announcement that it wouldn't move us. The position is officially out of Erie, PA, but it can be done from home. I don't honestly know if my dh can work from home...

There are a few options if he is chosen for the job- we can stay where we are and try to make it work (dh can also work from the location he currently works at but that could cause some problems) or we can try to find a slightly larger house outside of town (with an extra bedroom that he can use/turn into an office). In that last case, it would require selling the house we live in now. That might be difficult in this economy...and the fact that we would like to get at least what we purchased it for (but that's not likely since the house was selling for $12,000 more than it appraised). It isn't a bad house; it has a lot of newer features for a house built in 1929.

I wonder if it would be possible to remodel the house we are in now and just stay here. We could add an office off of the .... hmmm, well, I'm not entirely sure where we could add onto! Anyway, remodeling could be fun but so would looking for another house :) We won't know for a little while about the job. Dh is nonchalant now about it. He was fairly stressed at the start of our trip because he had interviews while we were traveling.

I told you I was back to my regular blogging! This post is a bit longer than intended. 

I have to get busy on the kids' school schedule and I need to get it mapped out for awhile because my classes start the same time as theirs. Lee will be using Jensen's Grammar and Fox will be adding in some written narrations (again- we didn't do so well before with this); they both will have research papers due every two weeks on a topic/theme of their choice. I am trying to work with them on citing sources. The last paper Lee did was very good (so was Fox's) but didn't include sources. We do have a few books that help with this so it shouldn't be too difficult to 'teach', more the remembering to do it, I think.

Well, I do have a bit to do today, so I shall end this post now and get to it! First, though, I am going to turn up the heat! It's been down to 50 while we were gone and I'm not sure it's been reset yet! Brrrr....

Have a great Wednesday!
