DANCE

OK so yesterday I was little bored and my mojo is no where to be found. But check out what I did. I laugh my butt off everytime I watch it. If you push on the elevator buttons it changes it a little. Enjoy!!!

BUSY busy and more busy!!!

I asked Maggi to let me take her picture a couple of weeks ago. She is such a smarty pants. All she would do was give me goofy faces. Maybe she is trying to tell me "mom would you please put that camera away". NOPE!!!

Well let me say that I don't even know what direction to go these days. I just can't seem to catch up on anything. My house looks like a pig sty. I need to get it organized. I am ready to do spring cleaning but I can't even get the everyday stuff done to start in on all that. Today I woke up and I was going to vacuum, dust, get the laundry started, clean the toliets and kitchen. Well I got the kitchen cleaned up, and started to clean my scrap area when Hayley came out of her bed room and asked me to help her. I had no idea that she had taken almost everything out of her room and was rearranging it all. She needed help getting the TV off her armoir. We got it down but not without some injuries. I had a bruised wrist and she has a black eye. Warning, don't ask the two of us to help with heavy labor, we start laughing and loose all muscle control. It is not a pretty sight. Lets say, the TV is not going back up on top unless I can get DH to do it.
I got started on altering Hayley's prom dress, I hope I get it done because Prom is next Saturday. Put that back on my list of to do's this weekend. Ugh!!!
We were going to go to my nephews house this weekend also but I cancelled because I had too many things that needed to get done. My uncle Gene died last week and the funeral was last Saturday. So that just gave me Sunday to get my normal weekend chores done. Well I didn't get a thing done other than laundry. That is why I am so far behind. My mom called today and my uncle Jack died this morning. He was in AR at the time so everyone is thinking that there will be a memorial service later. WOW that is 2 uncles within a week. Uncle Jack is my dad's brother and uncle Gene is his brother in law so I am happy that they are at peace now and that they are all having a party together. I can hear them now having the time of their life. That is what I am happy for. They are reuniting.
I don't know what next year is going to bring. Our school district is in big touble money wise and many teacher have been given there pink slips. Us Paras will find out the end of May if we are going to be hitting the unemployment line or not. I am way down on the list so I know that I will be one of the first to go. Actually I am good with that. I have had this nagging ache all year because everytime a field trip comes up for Maggi's class she wants me to go with them but I can't because I am working. So if I am not working then next year I can volunteer in her class more like I did with Hayley. And maybe I will have time to clean my house.
Last but not least, sorry for the long and boring post. Maybe if I would up date more often it wouldn't be so long. That is another thing I can do if I don't have a job next year.
Peace Out!

Beautiful Day!!!





This being our last day of freedom before heading back to work and school having the whole week off for spring break we decided that we had to spend the day having fun. So we went to our local gardens to see the butterfly house. Here are a few pictures that I took.




Road Trip!!!


Well with this week being Spring Break and having no plans we decided to take a road trip up north to see our nephew. We had a great time and we will be going back. He moved into his over a year ago and you would think that he had just moved in. A couch and beds, the walls are half painted (he decided that he doesn't like to paint) and no pictures on the walls. So we are going back to finish painting his walls and give a move lived in feel. Here a picture that we took of the girls. When we left our house it was in the upper 60's and going to be in the 70's, but as you head north the temp drops and the snow if still on the ground in spots. Check out Hayley in her shorts. "Teens", we tryed to tell her that it is going to be cold but she just wouldn't listen.


Michigan in the Spring

es this is what it is like. WET!!! The weather has it's up's and down's. Take this day (early March, I don't remember the exact date), the snow has finally melted and it is in the 70's. Maggi came home from school to find this puddle in the back yard. The next thing I knew, she was running throught it. What is a mother to do? Let her go and have fun because I knew that with it being March, it wasn't going to last. She had a ball and came in wet with the biggest smile on her face.
