I'm feeling more and more like homeschooling is not working out for me right now. I think we're in a major slump. Especially with my oldest child, who has always been willing to work. He is giving me a hard time and his example is setting the stage for the younger kids as well. Unschooling would be easier for me in some ways, but fundamentally I just can't embrace it. It must be the teacher in me.

We're probably not going to be taking any vacations this year because we're saving our pennies for a down payment and other moving expenses but that doesn't stop me from dreaming. I'm dying to go to the beach again! I never feel happier than when my toes are in the sand.
I want to go on a trip with my extended family that we have missed for various reasons every year. We want to take the kids to Disney again in the fall, but it may be another year for that as well. I'd love to take another girls' trip too. There's nothing like some solid girl time to recharge!
Mostly, I want to take my husband and go on a trip - just the two of us - somewhere. Anywhere. We need a chance to breath and be just a couple again for a few days.
A girl can dream.

It's GS cookie time again and why oh why do I always buy those darn Samoas? They are far too delicious to be resisted!
I'm not a huge cookie person and while my family loves almost all the different GS cookies, I only have eyes for the Samoas. Yum.
