BOOK CLUB, BOOK CLUB, I LOVE BOOK CLUB!

Tonight is book club, yey! Well ok if I had actually gotten around to posting this blog when I was suppose to then that would have been true. But the truth is that book club was last night. Our book club has been dying for a little while so we are trying to pump some new life into it. It appears our biggest problem with book club is that while we choose a book to read and then read the book we rarely actually spend time discussing the book. To many other important things to discuss. Such as what Kindergarten teacher is really not a good teacher, and Albertson's is having their Box Top Sale, and my kid licks his foot every night before he goes to bed is that weird? "Ummm" we all answer, "Of course not, I do that too." So as I was saying, while we mention the book in passing we don't spend a long time dwelling on it because we have important things to talk about. You know like licking feet and lifeguard abs. However, we had a blast and a few times I laughed until I cried, we all did which makes me wonder why Brent keeps asking if we had a good time. "Did he not hear us cackling all night?" It was a great time and it is always fun to have a girlfriend night.

However, dear readers I have a bone to pick with you. I am very disappointed that my kitty pictures have elicited no comments. I mean my photography skills rocked. A cat licking her chops while staring out the window at birds, come on a chuckle should have been had by one or two of you. An animal so in love with her catnip she rolls around on the floor in glee. I'm shocked that not one person could connect with a love that great. All I can think is that one, you are bored of me and while you endured the garden pictures the animal pictures are just to much. Two, you are not animal people and only think that crazy, insane, not so intelligent people would own a 170lb dog. No offense, because I agree! Three, you missed that post and the pictures and I have to post them again so as to get your attention. Or four, you are missing my garden post and wondering what happened to them.

That must be it you have not had enough flower pictures of late and who wants to look at a stupid picture of a cat when there is a whole hard drive full of flower pictures. :) Ok, well of course tomorrow is SUPER SOCCER SATURDAY post but come Sunday it is going to be flowers, flowers and flowers because I hate to disappoint you.

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

The Kids Today

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
