Fancy outfit!

A and his dog!

More to come! I have to go in and fix them.....

Been a long time!

Wow! Who knew that having two kids in school would cause you to be so busy. I always hear parents saying that they are always going from one place to another all the time. Well, I now know that this is true. This is the first weekend that we haven't had to do anything.... And that is because we are all sick. J has a double ear infection, she has been home sick from school for a whole week. A is just allergic to something in the air and hopefully with this freeze tonight, he will be done with it. Mr. V and me, well we just have colds........ I get to go out tonight though. It is my best friend's 30th birthday tonight..... I know, she is a little young'n, but she sure is fun!!! Mrs. D this one is for you! We are going to have a rockin' time tonight!!!!
I have no recent pictures in here, but I have sent out the Christmas card..... That's all I have...... I need to go lay down with J, she is begging me!!!!

Can you say OCD????

Ok. I will be the first to admit it, I am OC! If you thought I was bad, take a look at my son. I had NOTHING to do with this! I was folding clothes in the other room and I came back in to check on him and he had done this........... Hmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Picture Says a Thousand Words

Our pumpkin

Picking out a pumpkin

Our "little" friend in the backyard

First off, let me say GO VIKES!!!!! They play Dallas today....... I am a little nervous...... But they can prevail!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some great pictures.... One is the first day of school, at the pumpkin patch, showing off their pumpkins and a little(not so much) visitor that is right out our back door, every single night!!!! We are all doing great! J FINALLY stopped crying, A is great and Mr. V. is well, Mr. V....... Enjoy the shots!!!

Oh, What a Long Time......

So sorry...... Haven't even had time to wipe my, well, you know............. Been too busy with school and such. J is still crying every day when I drop her off. I guess that this is a HUGE adjustment for her. Much more so than I thought it would be. I don't get it, because everyday when I come home she RAVES about what a good day she had as school. She plays school now and pretends that she is her teacher. I think that the crying is just about making me feel bad. It did the first couple of times, but now, not so much..... It is getting old.
A is great. He is in the groove of Kindergarten and LOVES his teacher. He is working hard and loves to sing the songs with J as she is just now learning the ones he used to sing.
Mr. V is now a SRG. His official promotion date is tomorrow. We are finally on the day shift with all of the other "normal" people. He will work North side from 6-2. YEAH!!!! Only bad part is he has Tuesday, Wednesdays off. Never a day off with him. Oh well, that is how the cookies crumble.
Well, I know that it was short, but I have to get my a** in gear and correct some papers and finish cleaning the bathrooms......
Hopefully, next time I will have pictures.....

Thank God Almighty!!!

A has a clean bill of health!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God for that!!! I am also thankful because Mr. V got in a HUGE wreck this weekend and by the looks of the car, he should be dead...... Especially since he wasn't wearing his seatbelt!!!!!!!!

I have another commercial..... The AT&T one that has the band playing and all the people calling. Well, the music is playing and there is a guitar in it, but no guitar on the stage.......

I had to laugh today because I went to Sam's and there was this Mexican couple coming out with there three kids. You would think that they would have a load of groceries, but no...... All they had in their cart was a 24 pack of Bud Light...... Silly!

Never felt this way.....

Don't get me wrong, I am excited/nervous/etc. for the first day of school. I have never really NOT wanted to go. But this year is different. I don't know why? Maybe it is because I am changing grade levels, but I have taught second grade before. Maybe it is because it has been so long, it has been 7 years...... I don't know..... Maybe it could be because I don't have a clue what I am doing tomorrow because I don't have copy of the lesson plans in my hand so that I may prepare myself. Yes, I do use a lesson plan, but only the first couple of weeks!!!! Then I am in the groove and ready to go..... My friend B had a good suggestion for the student that likes to hit, wear Mr. V's protective gear...... I might have to!!!!
Maybe I am feeling this way because I am afraid that something is wrong with A. I just have a feeling of dread for this test. I am also feeling VERY homesick and wish that I could be starting work with my sister-in-law!!! I'll get over it though.....

Thought of another commercial that I don't get...... The "Kia, Save the Greenbacks!" commercial. How stupid is that one????

We didn't do much this weekend. A and J sat and watched me get my stuff ready for school. Tried to draw all over my papers and gave lots of sorry momma kisses because of it. Mr. V worked two Ranger games, which means a nice paycheck at the end of the month. Lord knows we need it!!! He worked from 2 to 9:30 yesterday and will work 6-??? whenever the game ends tonight!!! I do miss him when he works and so do the kids, but we do enjoy the money!!! Get that debt paid so we can MOVE!!!!!!
