12 More Days

I am over the scary moment and on to bigger and better things...... Only 12 more days until we leave for the great and best state of Minnesota!!!!!! Nana and Papa, ARE YOU READY FOR THE INVASION???????
A has a cavity. Very upset about that! Seeing since he is very good about brushing and flossing. Still can't figure it out. The dentist said that he couldn't even see it. He wouldn't have even thought that he had one, until he looked at the x-ray. So, he will go next Thursday to have it taken care of. It also really sucks, because the kids get used to a dentist and then BOOM! So sorry, we don't take your insurance anymore....... Turns out that the COA decided to change their dental insurance coverage without us ever knowing. Of course, there are really no dentists that take this new insurance. We did finally find one, but their pediatric dentist only comes in once a month. Hmmmmmm. See how fun that will be to schedule.......
Training is over, so now I am offically free...... Tomorrow, we are going to go to the library, get a new swimsuit for me, and then come home and go swimming..... The rest of the week I don't have anything planned???? Any ideas???

Scary moment

Ok. So I have been able to go out and run, off the support of the treadmill, outside with the real people watching. Well, today, I got home from my training and told Mr. V, I was outta here and going to get my daily exercise in. On the way out, I put on my iPod...... Ms. J decided to follow me out the door, to walk me to the sidewalk. I gave her a hug, and told her to go back in with daddy. Well, I thought she did, after all, she was walking back that way. I turned up the iPod and went on my merry little way. Had I not had the iPod on so loudly, I might have heard her....... I went about my business, not ever looking back. You can guess where this is going....... She decided to go for a little walk after me........ In the middle of the street....... Mr. V, well, it took him a while to figure out that she wasn't in the house. Why you ask????? Well, he was watching TV. I do admit that sometimes she escapes under my watch, but she doesn't get as far as she did today. She walked all the way down to our friends house, which is a good two/three blocks away from our house. Luckily, a kind neighbor saw her and tried to guide her home. By that time, Mr. V realized she was gone and jumped in the truck. He found her. THANK GOD!!!! I don't think I could have lived with myself, if something would have happened to her. I don't think I would have ever been forgiven either. Note to self, walk child back to the door and make sure she gets back in before turning iPod on and running..................

Chelsea

Isn't my dog beautiful???? She is the best addition to our family. I just wanted to share this beautiful dog with everyone......

Oh, snake!

Just a little something that we found out in our front yard. This rain sure brings interesting things. Very surprised that A and J held it..... Yes, it was still alive, but barely.

Saw the ultimate in friendship this morning. I was at the YMCA, and this lady that is always at the morning class that I go to, well, last summer she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I only know because I was at the class before she went in to have her surgery. Anyway, to make a long story short, the group that she is always with and the group that went to the hospital on the day of one of her many surgeries, all have cut their long locks to the style of hers as it grows back from chemo. They all have the same style..... I thought to myself, what a show of true friendship. I am not saying that her hair is like Britney Spears, but it is grown in and is a cute style. I just want you to know that I would do that for any of my friends. If it means showing my support for you then, I am in.......

IT'S OVER!!!!!!!! IT'S FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!

Yes! It is finally over. I can't believe it! I just have one question...... Can I end the year healthy??? Last year, I was throwing up, this year I have a terrible cold....... What to do, what to do!!! I felt bad for the kids, because on the last day, we were supposed to play kickball, but it was raining. So, they ended up watching a movie. How boring for the last day....... A is done too, and he is now a kindergartner!!!! Can you believe it? I was just thinking of how much pain I was in when I had him and now he is going to kinder....... UGH. Especially J, she is going to k-3 at A's school....... She will have to wear a uniform and everything. Can you imagine the tears on that day of school???? What will she do without C and R????
Well, it is another rainy day. We just got home from church and we have to stay inside. They played in the garage for a little bit, but it is not the same as riding bikes out on the sidewalk. A has a birthday party at 6, and we are supposed to go to a baby shower today, but I don't know them, only Mr. V does. So, I think since I am not feeling well, we should probably skip it. He can go, since it is a couple's shower, but he won't have me......
15 days until we start the BIG drive!!!!! Papa, are you ready?????

IT"S OVER!!!!!

IT'S ALMOST OVER!!!!!!! 5 more days left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, 3 and two half days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although, I have really enjoyed these classes. Yes, I said classes. I have 5 switches. The only 2 that I really didn't like were Mrs. A's and Ms. S's...... They had the kids with the most problems....... Well, really some with personality and others, not so much...... I love my homeroom and will miss them next year......
I can't believe that they ended Grey's like they did. What is up with George not passing. Are they getting rid of him? They can't! I like him too much AND he is from my neck of the woods....... Meredith is stupid and so is Alex. I am just so hateful! Until next season.....
Heros is done on Monday and I won't be able to watch it..... I am going to the Twins game with K. I can't wait! Both teams suck this year so, will it be the Rangers or the Twins..... Hopefully, the latter...... Maybe Heros season finale will be better than Grey's...
Gotta run, we have a problem..........................

Storms a plenty

The future???? And Ms. J as her favorite character: Ariel........

Hello. Long time no blog. Yup, been busy..... Ann and Tee came to visit two weekends ago, we went to the zoo with them and partied like rock stars.... Well, if you call hanging out outside a party. That is a party for us now... A and T bought A and J their picnic table, so the kids are excited. Then the next week, we went to the Ft. Worth Zoo with J's day care friends. Man was that fun! We had a blast. We were there when the zoo opened and were there right before it closed. 10-5...... Long day, but fun.

I think that I have found us a church. I had to leave the last church we were at because, frankly, I can't stand it when we are pressured to give money all the time. Yes, I believe in tithing, but this was more than tithing. It was all out pressure, that if you don't give the church is going to go under. Yes, this was the church we were married in and the kids were baptized in, but I had to get out. I have found one that is literally 5 minutes from the house. It is pretty small right now, but they are about to build a new building. The kids like it too. Also, they like to see kids in the worship center. All I have to do is send in my membership form. I just widh Mr. V would feel the same.......

Last Wednesday, my school had some damage from the storm that came through. Our office was flooded and so was my room. No, they didn't tell us we didn't have to have school..... I wish. Instead, we had to sit in my room with a wet floor and a huge blower blowing, while I was trying to teach...... Needless to say, I had a terrible headache. I can only imagine what they office people were going through, with the twelve blowers they had and the dehumidifier going, the phones ringing off the hook, etc. They really shouldn't have had school. But I am not the super........

I can't wait for the month to go by. Then I can be with my kids and with my mom and dad. I cannot wait!!!!!!!!! Well, hope this is a good week! Only 15 more days of school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
