Is the Week Over?

This was suppose to be one of those weeks that stay at home mom's look forward to.  Tuesday was suppose to be my day of celebration.  A day filled with bons bons and shopping.  Just in case you don't know what I am talking about.  After 12 years of being a stay at home mom.  With stay at home children.  My little Henry started school.

I walked him to school, I stood with him line waiting for his teacher, walked him to the door of his class, where he turned and said, "Bye, mom you can leave now." So what was I suppose to do I left.

Which turned out to be a very good thing because by the time I hit the door of my home I was sick.  I won't go into details of how sick I was, let just say it was gross. Somehow I had managed to come down with the stomach flu.

The stomach flu that took me down for two solid days and now that it has gone has left me shaky and weak on the best day this week.

Meanwhile, life marched on.  Henry loves school, Sam has started orchestra playing the Cello, this along with everything else she does. I vaguely remember an argument taking place between Brent and Sam where he was trying to get her to give up something.  She just told him no and I can do it and I will figure it out and........well I don't know the rest because I sank back into unconsciousness. Andrew and Alex are resisting school a little more they are missing the carefree days of summer.

Andrew is suffering from video game withdrawal.  I think if he doesn't get a video game fix soon we may have to put him in a treatment facility.  Alex is just resisting the whole educational process, her thoughts are more along the line of, "Everything I need to know Hanna Montana can teach me."  

Have I mentioned how much I HATE TV. 

Meanwhile the home schooling parents have more then doubled in our neighborhood this year.  Leaving my middle two saying, "We want home school." Of course we all know they want the home part a little more then the school part.

Be prepared for a future rant on Home school.

So that just leaves me with one question, Is The Week Over Yet?

Stomach flu is never any fun. However, the week is over and since you are not in school, you can have a fun weekend even though you were sick during the week (it was always my parents' rule that if you missed school on Friday, then you missed the whole weekend too). So, go get some bon bons, a good book, something fabulous to drink (soda, hot chocolate, virgin margaritas) and be carefree for the next few hours!

Oh, and plan better for next week... you kinda blew the no-kids-fun-factor when the yacking started.

So sorry to hear that you were sick. That really stinks. Hopefully next week goes better for you.

Sorry to hear you were sick, the flu is never a good thing, especially when all your kids are finally in school and you have your own private time.
Home schooling is starting to spread like wild fire around here. The school systems are slowly going under. At our house the kids will finish elementary school and then they will go into a home schooling program. A couple of other moms I have talked to want to put their kids in a home schooling program too. I found one that we are going to do where the kids each get their own computer and their teachers teach them online and they get the books and supplies they need for free and then when test time comes around they have to go to the office to take their tests. So this is Teryn's final year of public school. She can't wait. Austin wants to start now. Poor guy hates his teacher.

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...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

What not to Wear, Swimsuit Addition

Working at a swimming pool a strange thing starts to happen to you. You become less aware of the fact that you are wearing a swim suit. You become less aware that people around you are wearing swimsuits. Really in most instances you don't even notice the swimsuits. Which is ironic sense most people are so uncomfortable in what a swim suit discloses about their bodies. However, the truth is not that many people have fantastic bodies. It is an exception to the rule for a swim suit model to walk into the pool. Most people who come to the pool are everyday people with everyday bodies. That being said there are things us pool workers do notice. Things that I feel as your friend I must share. Things that have left young men scarred and us older ladies just plain grossed out. So here it is my first what not to wear swim suit addition. Rule Number One. Wear a swimsuit that fits. I see more women do harm to their figure wearing a suit that is two, three, four sizes to small then...
