2 Weeks down

OK it was 3 days the first week and 4 days this week but it feels like 2 full weeks and my body sure feels like it. I am not use to getting up early and putting the coffee on, jumping in the shower before dh and be ready to get out the door about 7:00am. That is just too darn early unless we are leaving for vacation and then time doesn't matter because I usually don't sleep well the night before because I am just too darn excited.

I think this is going to be a good year at school. We have a new principal and so far she is amazing. A real people person that tells you the truth (even if you don't want to know) rather than tell you what she thinks you want to hear (that is what the last principal did). Does that make sence? Well anyways I really like her and so she is just wonderful with the students. She has rules but has a wonderful sence of human at the same time. And how could I forget Adam. The little boy that I am with all day long. He is such a wonderful 8 year old. Working with him is a awesome job that it really doesn't feel like a job.

I seemed to have pulled a muscle in my back. I hope it feels better tomorrow, I am suppose to go to a crop. I am going to drug myself up before bed and lather on a bunch of ben gay so by morning I will be able to a little two step. Guess I better take lesson before actually saying I am going to do it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend. This is the first year in about 5 that we are staying home. We usually go up north and walk the Mackinaw Bridge with 10,000 plus other crazy people. With 4 days off I guess I better try to clean house. You did notice the key word "try", it is a holiday weekend so it may or may not get done.

Enjoy your weekend!!!!

It has been awhile since I have updated this. For that I am so sorry. The girls are back in school and that means that I am back at work. It has been some very long days for us. It will take me a couple of weeks before I can come from home school and have any energy. As it is right now I get home, get dinner and then I am ready for bed. Ugh!!! Hayley starts dance tonight so that means that I will have to stay up to pick her up. I hope I don't fall asleep and forget all about her. At least this year she only has 3 classes and 2 of those are on the same night so that means I will only have to run 2 nights a week. Good thing I don't have a life. HAHA.

I found out that my good friend that has gone thru cancer twice has more lesions on her kidney. The poor girl only has 1/2 of a kidney left. My heart just goes out to her and her family. She has a daughter that is good friend with Hayley. They met in kindergarten have hung together ever since. I will be praying for her. The thing that really is making her upset about all this is that they can't do a thing and told her to come back in 6 months. That is going to be a hell of long 6 months for her. If you could find it in your heart please pray for her.

Well I guess I better go do the dishes. Nothing I hate more than waking up in the morning and finding last nights dishes in the sink. I never do that but I have been so tired, thank goodness it is only until I get use to working again.

Tata for now. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Why or why is the blogger thing

giving me a headache. I have tried off and on all day long to post a photo with this but for some reason it is being a pain in the arse. So her is another boring post with no photo to give it a little pizzaz (sp).

Well yesterday I went to a crop all day in Detroit with Kay. It was a very fun day, not very productive but I had a day with no kids. I did get 4 LO's done. None that I am very proud of. We did a little shopping also at the mall and IKEA. Today it was back to the crazy's. "MOM" this and mom that. I know they could do everything themselves yesterday, why can't they do it today.

I have spent the majority of the day organzing my ribbons and form stamps. To look at my scrap area you would think a tonado hit, but hey I am in the process of organization and in order to do that you have to make a mess right? Right!!! That is my answer and I am stickin with it.

Tomorrow and Tuesday are day of meetings to get ready to back to work and Wednesday is the big day. The girls are excited even thought Maggi says she "hates" school. We need to get back into a routine before I go nuts. Plus the paycheck will help. HAHA. Well I need to go back and try to figure out where I left off at in "project organization".

What do you think?

These are 2 of the 100+ photos that I took last night at my photo class. I really like the class but was a little upset because I thought it would help me learn a little more about how to use all the bells and whisle on my camera. I did learn how to take better pics by where to stand and how to use nature light. So I did learn something. Now I am going to sign myself up for the class that he teaches at his store that will go into how to use all the buttons and do the thing that scares the do do out of me - manual.

Summer Fun!!!

When I look at the picture all I can see is the fun that Maggi is having. We laughed and laughed the other day when she started doing this that I had to run and get my camera. She had the
water in the pool rockin and rollin. I told her that if she got the water in the middle going up any higher it was going to launch her right out of the pool. Well of course she just had to give it a try. Thank goodness it didn't work. Oh to be young and not a care in the world.

Now that I brought that up, both girls have a dentist appointment today. Hayley had a cavity and Maggi has a area where a previous filling fell out so that has to be redone. Hayley has been numbed up before but not Maggi. The dentist that we go to (I have gone there for over 25 yrs. and it is the only dentist the girls have ever gone to) has retired and a new Dr. has taken over. I have met him but have never had him work on our teeth. I wish that I was the one having this done. It always hurts me to know that my girls are uncomfortable (I know pain but I wanted to be nice). I get to go next week for a filling that is coming loose. I have not had to be drilled and filled for over 20 years. Ugh. The things we do to stay healthy.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Here is a photo of my now 9 yr. old Maggi. Isn't she the cutest cowgirl on her new mode of transportation. Yes she did get a new helmet to go with the bike but there was no way she would let me take of picture of her in it. We have had to go on 2 bike rides already today and she wants to go again. Well I won't have to exercise then will I.

My Baby is 9!!!

Today is Maggi's Birthday. I can't believe my little girl is 9 years old. They grow up way to fast. Part of me wants them to slow down and the other part can't wait until they grow up and see what kind of adult they will be. I also don't know what I would do without my girls. They are such a joy and can cause havic at a minutes notice. But I wouldn't change that for the world.

Maggi got a new bike from us today. We love to go on bike rides and she has never had a new one. It was always a hand me down from Hayley. She really didn seem to mind, that's my girl. Very happy (well most of the time). We are going to try and go to the movies this afternoon. She wants to see Barnyard, so why not do it on her big day. We are having my side of the family over tomorrow to celebrate both Maggi and Hayley's birthday. We did Scott's family together before we went to Chicago. Usually I do one big party for everyone in between there special days because the dates are only 3 weeks apart. So today is cleaning and organizing and going to the grocery store to get all the fixens. Yesterday we had to order the cake and of course one wants a yellow cake and the other wants chocolate. I wanted to scream, but it is there day so guess what. Yes we have 2 cakes, so if anyone wants a piece come on over, we will have enough for a army. Oh there will be ice cream also. Guess I better get moving, so much to do and so little time. HAHA!!!

HOT HOT HOT!!!

At 7 am this morning it was already 80 degress so it looks to be another HOT one. Yesterday the temp. hit a all time high for this area and they say today is going to be worse. The humidity is so high also which makes it all the worse. I have no energy and my fingers are swollen due to the weather. Getting older brings on new experiences everyday. Just love it. Looks like I will be spending more bonding time in the pool with Maggi. That is the only way that you can stand it outside. You can even see the humidity in the air it is so thick. I also have a dentist appt. this afternoon that I am looking forward too. NOT. I am a retired dental assistant so you would think I wouldn't mind, but I have the feeling that I am going to have to go back for some work. Ugh. We will see. Hope everyone has a COOL day. I think I might try to scrap later because it is too darn hot to clean or do the laundry. That excuse works for me and I am sticking with it.
