Garden Pictures as Promised.

Aren't you soooo excited that I remembered to post some garden pictures.  Aren't you even double excited that I am posting just this one.  This is a pic of one of our giant sunflowers.  It is very cool don't you think?  Currently the flower head has gotten so large that the plant is bent in half.  That is making all the birds that visit our yard happy, not that the flower is bent in half, but that the flower is so big.  They have been having a grand feast.  Thanksgiving for the birds you could say.

As far as going back to work is concerned it was just as predicted I have class after class full of cute little fish.  The best news is that I only have one crier and she is in my first class when I still have all kinds of patience. I have found that having a crier in my last class is usually not good news because I am more likely to dunk them under the water where I don't have to listen to it.  Ha ha I'm just kidding.. maybe...  I think my favorite class is going to be my 3A class which is kids under the age of five who know how to swim.  So we teach them more advance techniques and get them ready to be thrown in with the big kids.  Also, most everybody was glad to see me back and they missed me.  Hey, it feels good to be missed, even if it is only by a bunch of punk 20 somethings.

So as much as I hate to admit it summer is coming to a close.  The leaves on the trees in our front yard have started to change and this morning when I left for the gym it was actually a little chilly.  I'm trying hard to be upset about the kids going back to school but I have to admit I AM SO READY!!!!!! They know summer is almost over and they are being toads. Cute toads but toads none the less.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
