September already!

I can't frackin' believe it's September already! It's time to start making Halloween costumes!The first week of school came and went and thank goodness for the three day weekend to help us to recover!Dennis is back to working the G.E.D. program which means I'm back to being a single mom. He helps out a lot by cramming most of the "homework" time into the hour and a half he's home from school before heading off to adult ed. It's a huge relief for Sage to have her homework done before I get home. Then it's concentrating mainly on reading with each of them, practicing math facts & spelling words and what not.The girls have learned to be a HUGE help maintaining our new "schedule" by stepping up to help with making and cleaning up after dinner. They all help clear the table then Sage loads the dishwasher and True unloads when it's done. Deni helps out by gathering all the laundry and taking it to the laundry room so I can keep on top of it! When you only have two full days to spend as a family, you learn to keep up on the house work so you can play during the weekend!Speaking of weekends, last weekend was quite a doozy! I ended up taking care of my cousins baby all day Monday and overnight till Tuesday morning because he got into an accident on his 4-wheeler. He was going up a hill while someone else was coming down. They hit head on and the other guy took off. His brother called 911 because he was sure he had broken his leg. The ambulance then ended up calling flight and they flighted him to UMC Trauma Center where they found he had indeed shattered his femur and replaced it with a metal rod.Now, I urge you all to BE CAREFUL on your ATV's! Billy (my cousin) is a pretty safe guy. He wears his gear and he's really good at what he does. You just never know about the other people out there who aren't as cautious! This accident could have been much worse, every year you hear of people out at Red Rock getting seriously hurt and even killed. Thank God when Billy's leg got broke it didn't sever the femoral artery that runs along it or he could have bled to death within minutes.With that aside, my family did enjoy having a baby in the house for a day. My girls already miss her.Well I was going to try to put up a video last week but I'm still in the process of gathering footage seeing that there's a shortage of time in the mornings before getting out the door to work and school! So I'll just leave you with a couple shots of the girls sporting some tattoo's they rubbed on last weekend. They take after mommy eh?! ; )
